Phoenix Springs is one of the few point and click games that truly feel like a result of 21st century art and I urge everyone interested in ludonarrative to play it. Alexandra Crow's performance as Iris Dormer is terrific.

The art for this piece, 'Thank You For Your Interest', is a composite of 60 template rejection letters all received by the artist Claire Peckham. You can buy prints of the art, and her other work, here:

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

My curator page is very nearly up to 700 games, almost all recommendations, and a great way to find stuff in the sales!.

As always, I recommend switching to the Discounts filter and scrolling down. It's ranked by revenue, so the deeper you go, the more indie/obscure. Deep cuts await there.

Info-tags aside (for listing stuff) this is 100% personal recommendations on games I've played. Expect a lot of weird, indie, undersold or otherwise mysterious stuff, plus the occasional mainstream fa...

Steam sale time!

Pillars of Eternity I & II are the finest CRPGs of this generation. Together, they are 20 bucks and they will allow you to a. learn how to live with an insufferable piece of shit, b. vibe with the piece of shit-ness of history writ large.

The overwhelming number of great games being released and fewer people being around to cover them has meant that some real gems have slipped under the radar.

Case in point, Starstruck: Hands of Time, which is like Bill & Ted in a world made of arts & crafts supplies. Cheap, weird, unique.

this is a query for mufos!

have you played PHOENIX SPRINGS? and would you be willing to chat with me about it?

I'm chewing on a pitch idea and would like to talk things through with someone else that's played the game

that's all, love you, bye!!

if I knew this was how Phoenix Springs was going to greet me, I would've started playing WAY sooner

I _know_ it's been a stacked summer but I just played No, I Am Not a Human and god I hope people don't sleep on it. For sure one of 2025's genuine must plays. Papers Please meets PT.

So glad that Baby Steps is a polarizing one because it should be! We spend a lot of time talking about friction in games, but only really considering how it relates to a "hard" boss fight that's built to be beaten. Baby Steps pushes you to defend that idea outside of gratifying action.

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...
You will not survive Baby Steps' open world, but you'll laugh

I can’t vouch for everyone on this list but the people on it who I’ve worked with are top notch. The state of the industry is disheartening but there’s a lot of incredible talent here for anyone who’s able to snap them up.
