It's an extremely good idea to follow NoClip2. It sends a strong message that there is value and an audience for weird little indie games to media and publishers alike.

We've added 14k YouTube subs to noclip_2 in the past month, pretty much exclusively covering underground and indie games like this. Please come be part of what we're building over there.

House of Necrosis by @warkus.bsky.social wears it's influences on it's sleeve. But it's roguelite loop and mystery dungeon gameplay presents a whole new challenge.

Goes without saying, if you'd like me to liven up YOUR podcast/ radio show with some inappropriate bawdy sex chat, I am fully available to do that. Fling me a DM.

I can answer this!

EARTH MUST DIE is about a dumbass authoritarian dictator, and the whole game is deeply, unashamedly anti-fascist in nature.

The GOOD news is, if you're a fascist, most of the jokes will go over your head and you can just look at the pretty colours? 👍

Steam forum post for EARTH MUST DIE. The question is raised "Is this game political? or will I be able to enjoy it and escape from this dire reality for a moment?"

Very astute, Disney. However do you do it.

The music stopped at my gym the other day and it was AWFUL. So awkward, such a weird place to be. It reminded me of this www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj-G...

I signed Little Rocket Lab back in November 2022!

Finally coming in 5 days, unbelievably excited to get it out there.

Such a long time coming, and it's *genuinely* one of the best games I've ever played

This is still imo one of the best video game names ever, just incredible work and I'm not sure it's been bettered tbh.

The game is amazing too! Just a horrifyingly tense and hilarious time.

Jim Rossignol @rossignol.bsky.social · 7d

Also! Sir, You Are Being Hunted is on sale in the Steam Autumn sale, and there is no more autumnal experience than fleeing between the hedgerows chased by tweedy British robots.

And hey, it's a game you should probably own if you like anything I have ever done.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is a freedom sandbox stealth experience, where each playthrough is unique, thanks to our British Countryside Generator. Escape from these robot-infested islands with violence...

Ooooh! New game from Size Five!? This looks very neat indeed. (Also, can highly recommend their previous game, Lair of the Clockwork God)

Lair of the Clockwork God is not just one of the funniest games I've played, but one of the funniest pieces of art FULL STOP. It is a delight from start to finish and is worth it at full price, but now it's significantly cheaper!

Go buy yourself some joy in these terrible times.

Things are EXTREMELY weird for creatives right now, and we've never needed your support more.

Size Five has always had amazing, passionate and lovely fans, but they're generally quite quiet about sharing our work. It's time to start shouting, I think!
