AETHER & IRON

On the flying island of New York City you need a hot car and a cool gang to survive. A Disco Elysium-like conversation system and turn-based car-to-car battles caught my eye but mostly I love the STYLE of this thing. LADIES IN TRENCHCOATS YAY

SKATE STORY
( store.steampowered.com/app/1263240/... )

Tony Hawk's existential nightmare. A glass man skateboards his way to the moon so he can eat it. This is like the exact polar opposite of EA's recent corporately-tortured 'skate' redux, a gorgeous nightmare of grinds and sick-ass scenery.

So like yeah WHAT IF Space Harrier were actually Star Fox except Fox was just kinda jogging along and he had Mega Man's buster cannon and it was a solo dev and it was ARCADE AS BUTTS and look, sometimes furries play furry games, okay?

A futuristic action rail-shooter! Action packed, and full of quirky character dialogues, unique level designs, fully animated story cutscenes, and challenging boss battles!

Bluh bluh zombies whatever BUT you're in drag, with superpowers, and fighting back with catty lines and the power of your unshakable dignity. No f'real Dignity is health in this game, that kinda pulled me in. Love a good visual novel hook.

This point and click 'em up contains enough British actors to cast a single Doctor Who season but the only names I care about are Dan and Ben, writers of Time Gentlemen, Please!
I'm always a sucker for a pointyclick and this looks sharp.

A sweet mystery hidden object game where everyone's A: a cute lookin' furry and B: amnesiac. Oh, to be an amnesiac furry in a hidden object game. People would come in and find my things for me and I would have no idea why. Bliss, no doubt.

Call it a demo of the demos.
Or don't, I'm not your mom.
I'm your Aunt, and here's some of what I'm gonna be playing this week on the Twitch channel:

Had to do a tiny tweak out of respect for @snowyaria.bsky.social

An edit of the "TOWN and TEMPLE/DUNGEON" diagram from the Diablo Game Concept document, where instead of the dungeon structure going deep underground, it goes up like a tower.

Here's a Shining Force joke for you! Why does our hero ride into battle on the centaur knights? So they can let him down BEFORE the battle, too! Not funny? NO IT REALLY ISN'T. We'll see if we can convince them to suck a little less in the maps coming up. Otherwise they'll be riding THE BENCH. 9:30.

Greetings, 30-odd weirdos holding weapons that shuffle awkwardly around my living room. Please go home. I need to stream soon. We're playing SHINING FORCE for the GBA and it's going surprisingly well? Nobody's died yet I think, hooray! Not that it's permadeath. Anyway, 9:30 PM Eastern as usual.
