ok that's more like it, we're finishing strong.
It's doesn't even matter what 'The Girl from Arkanya' is about... you have a big ol' Capybara best friend so it already wins.

Hate to harp on the nightmare fuel thing but...
What am I even looking at here?
'City of Dolorosa' is set in a version of hell realised in a handmade india ink art style.
Other than that I have no idea what's going on here.

'Gloomy Juncture' calls itself a neo-noir psychological thriller set in the 90s.
But again, that art style is kinda nightmare fuel.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

'Mr Sleepy Man' is meant to be a wholesome, old school 3D Platformer experience.
But honestly, this art style is kinda nightmare fuel.

'Plum Road Tea Dream' is true art house gaming.
An surreal & meditative experience taking you through the autobiographical thoughts & struggles of a Queer, Black game developer.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

'Map Map - A Game About Maps' tries to make a gameplay mechanic out of real cartography techniques.
(and yes, that is the full title)
Use the actual tools & techniques to properly chart maps of undocumented islands.
Yeah it is kinda weird that we've got two games in a row about mapping.

'Engraving' is a horror game set in a constantly shifting supernatural forest.
The only way to wrap your head around where you need to go & how to account for the changing environment is to draw & update your own map notation.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

'CHILDREN OF SATURN' is a grounded found footage coming of age story about a group of teenagers growing up on Mars.
Honestly this sounds like it would've made a great sci-fi indie film.
(I don't know why the title is in All Caps)

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

'Penguin Colony' is an adaption of H.P Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.
Except it's from the point of view of a penguin...
Didn't see that fresh twist coming did you.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

There are a lot of games where you're a hero on a journey to defeat a final Boss.
But in 'The Dark Queen of Mortholme', you ARE the final Boss.
Sit on your throne & deal with the Hero every time he shows up for a confrontation, with him adapting & getting better every time he fails & reloads.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

ok, now we're getting a little too creative.
'Moldwasher' is a cleaning game where you're a Sushi washing away some mold.
...ok

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

"Pigeon Love Story"
I don't need to know any further.
The title is all the elevator pitch you need.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 20h

Some standouts from the recent Six One Indie Showcase
>>>>>

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

The world's tiniest war game.
'Toy Smash Kaboom!' has you lining your toys up on the counter to go to battle against your opponents collection.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'KuloNiku Bowl Up!' takes the Cooking Management Sim genre and makes it fast paced & fun.
It's got the spirit of Cooking Mama, but with a Saturday Morning cartoon twist.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

Think 'Lethal Company', but much more whimsical and with a whole lot of Dimension hoping.
'Fish Stick Protocol' also supports 8 player squads, which is definitely going to make for some chaotic, slapstick filled raids.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

In 'Storebound', you and two friends are trapped in a cursed department store.
Try to escape with the demonic employees hunting you.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'Beneath' is being billed as a "Lovecraft inspired Survival FPS"
That just means Cthulu is coming for you and you won't have enough bullets.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'INFERIUS' is a take on Dante's Inferno with a Lovecraftian twist.
It also involves challenging the Lord of each of the 9 Circles of Hell to cards (?!)

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'Appulse Pinball Shooter' is exactly as the name suggests.
It's a genre fusion combining a pinball machine with a twin-stick shooter.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'Dancing with Ghosts' is a cosy narrative adventure about an orphan who befriends a ghost.
They say the day to day gameplay takes the form of a simply Life Sim around the village... for those extra cosy vibes.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'Moses and Plato - Last Train to Clawville' is more than just Agatha Christie for furries.
It's essentially 'Murder on the Orient Express' except you are the primary suspect & the train journey occurs in real time, so you have limited time to solve the mystery.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'Saveseeker' has a clever premise.
A famous RPG adventurer has completed his quest but has fallen to temptation at the last second & threatens to make the world even worse.
As his time traveling daughter, team up with the bosses he defeated & travel to all his Save Points to delete everything he did

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

'ANTHEM#9' is an attempt to "Balatro" the Match-3 genre.
oh, and an Anime aesthetic just in case that first part didn't trigger your gambling gene.

Sean Roberts @seankichu.bsky.social · 3d

In 'Strange Brew', you're a Duck Mascot for a local coffee shop that has to avoid zombies.
Honestly, being caught at work in your clunky, inconvenient duck costume at the start of any apocalypse sounds like a worse case scenario.
