Played Consume Me. Loved Consume Me. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

Consume Me review - anything but empty calories

A teenage slice-of-life tale, an energy-management challenge and a satire of diet culture – this indie award-winner is a flavoursome treat

Haus of Decline @hausofdecline.bsky.social · Apr 28

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

two screencaps from 'Kamen Rider Fourze'

alien in tweed jacket and hat: you're jumping to conclusions by thinking it's ninjas just because the room was locked.

Kamen Rider, gesturing: first of all, this is the moon.

of all my useless skills, i think the one i'm most proud of is being able to dip any cookie in coffee and leave it soaking for just long enough to maximize the addition of flavour without compromising the structural integrity of the cookie. years of ill-advised breakfast routines have led me here

releasing an indie game in this hyper-saturated market is super difficult, though the solution to discoverability is -- *a truck blasts through the wall, killing me instantly*

Consume Me is a work of autobiography born out of its creator's real experiences growing up in NYC. I spent a day with the devs visiting real places that inspired the game and looking through boxes of high school memories. A chat about how to adapt reality to game. www.polygon.com/consume-me-j...

The artists who turned teenage obsessions into an award-winning video game

To create an interactive autobiography, Consume Me's creators had to turn teenage memories into playable self-portraits.

Editors, another big month of games coming up, and wouldn't you know, I've got a fresh round of bills. As always, I'm actively looking for extra work, and would love to help out with reviews or ancillary coverage. Partner has been very sick for the last month, and I'm trying to pick up the slack.
