Hey friends! I'm back with another quick peek at a hot new indie that I think you'll really like: "The Trolley Solution", from developer @bydandans.bsky.social (who also put out another underrated favorite of mine, "La Sombra".)

Trolleys! Minigames! Romance! CHECK IT OUT!!

So it begins!

Tonight's stream is "Super C̷u̷t̷e̷ Scary Experience", celebrating J-horror!

Featuring a selection of one of Chilla's Art's earliest games, a game inspired by Forbidden Siren's sightjack system, and a one-room existential horror about being a reclusive NEET!

Starting in ~45min @ www.twitch.tv/mogsk

A banner reading "Super Kawaii (cute)" in katakana, except the 'ka' in kawaii has been crossed out in blood and replaced with a 'ko' while the second 'i' is also crossed out, turning it into "Super Kowai (scary)". Beneath it is the word "Oboe (experience/memory)" in kanji/hiragana, splattered with blood. A group of youkai are gathered around the text, including a giant skeleton which holds up the right side, a large cat that holds up the left side, a torn paper lantern with a mournful face, two goblins, and a humanoid creature with an eyeball where its butt would otherwise be. Arranged are four steam games, Go! Go! Hamster Chef, Blame Him, Horse, and Atama.

Last few minutes contains some primo guttural screaming, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Been in kind of a rut lately. Worried my usual “let’s play the first 45 minutes of a game” format is not entertaining enough to warrant that kind of runtime. I dunno.

Anyway, don’t have a solution to that problem, maybe never will! In the meantime, enjoy some new PEAK.

The new zone in PEAK might actually be impossible...

“Without a Dawn” is one of the most haunting, creative games I’ve played this year. It’s a nice short little narrative piece that is perfectly suited for the upcoming fall season. Support indie artists making cool art - check it out!

Have you heard of my games? ☺️
I create dark, story-driven games that mean something. The Steam Autumn sale might be over, but sales continue! 🔥 store.steampowered.com/bundle/20202...

You know, there’s probably LOTS of things I wouldn’t be able to find even if use of both hands were allowed and I were provided “a map”. Like a nearly infinitesimal list.

I just noticed that Jimmy And The Pulsating Mass - one of the best indie JRPGs I've ever played - is JUST shy of 500 reviews and the Overwhelmingly Positive rating.

We should make that happen. One of the best Earthbound-inspired games I've played while having its own, very strong identity.

So incredibly grateful to anyone who has ever reposted my videos or dropped a kind comment - those little hits of acknowledgement are the only thing sustaining me some times.

HOT TAKE: Sometimes, I feel like the people saying this mean why isn't anyone with lots of power covering my game. When smaller folks ARE covering indie games and you're not uplifting them. You just want others to lift you up without giving back to the community.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015
