I Am Jesus Christ on Steam

Blonde Pizza (Mashina OUT NOW!!!!) @blondepizza.bsky.social · 3h

The 5th demo I played this season was I Am Jesus Christ.
While not as polished as the other games I've mentioned so far, it certainly made my chat & I laugh & was highly entertaining. If you care about lore accurate Jesus this is (apparently) pretty well done.

No Players Online on Steam

The 4th demo I played this season was No Players Online.
A expanded release of the itch(.)io version, this is a game within a game. Investigate an old computer and the files left on it to figure out what happened to this abandoned FPS. Extremely interesting!

The 3rd demo I played this season was Death In Abyss.
Insanely addicting arcade shooter set in space. As the last of your squad you're tasked with defeating hoards of Lovecraftian space monstrosities before exploding.

Only thing missing is a killer OST!

Moses & Plato - Last Train to Clawville on Steam

Blonde Pizza (Mashina OUT NOW!!!!) @blondepizza.bsky.social · 3h

The 2nd demo I played this season was Moses & Plato - Last Train to Clawville.
Alt-world for Sherlock Holmes in a detective game format. A very cute demo that just took a little too long to get going for me. Beautiful art, wonderful voice acting, & snappy UI.

The first demo I played this season was Million Depth.
Fantastic art, world building, music, & gameplay. The UI was also stellar!!

A perma-death roguelite where you descend down into the earth to find Him & enemies move when you do. Super fun & engaging.

Firstly, I played both Scrabdackle and Hermit & Pig ahead of the Next Fest schedule since they advertised their demos during the Six One Indie Showcase. I loved both games and have a small thread talking about them here:

weird painting to test out my new inking pen ☀️

watercolor painting- a woman kneels behind a bush, carrying an approximation of an antique musket/rifle (I did not look at reference for this one so the shape is a bit off lol sorry everybody!). She is wearing a wildly impractical but fun outfit- a high cut onepiece with baggy ankle boots, a helmet and a big swan hat/cape.

I think I'll load up this old CD-ROM that I found in a thrift store yesterday. It's a banned game from 1995 called Forbidden Solitaire!
