Daniil can't go two steps in this town without getting dragged
A screenshot of Pathologic 3 showing a conversation with a Tragedian, a slim black-suited figure in a white mask. They say, "I say, again, he is no leading man. He is unfit to even play a villain. At best a background player: A body, standing there to fill the stage. It is the steppe healer's son who ought to take the role. Or that young girl who crawled out of her grave. They have such pathos and such verve. What does this one have? A coat!" To which there are two possible responses, the first one highlighted: "I've had enough of your jabs. Good day, sir." "The theatre is outmoded, soon to be replaced by cinema. And good riddance, too."

4. Mutazione (Die Gute Fabrik, 2019)

A double helping today, why not? Such a peaceful game that invites you into its mysteries at a relaxed pace. I guess they call this "island time"?
A screen from Mutazione. It shows Kai, the protagonist, at Spike's Bar. Spike, behind the bar, is speaking with Graubert, a sea ferry captain. Graubert says, "If she loved me, she'd follow me." Spike answers, "You work on that definition of love you got there, pally."

3. The Pale Beyond (Saltstone Studios, 2023)

If you watched Frankenstein and were like "boy, I'd love to manage a crew of sailors stuck in the ice as resources dwindle and no hope is in sight," have I got the game for you
A screenshot of The Pale Beyond. It shows Kurt, an explorer wearing a fur-lined coat, gazing out over the Antarctic as he says, "By the laws of nature, this place wants us dead."

Pretty sure Lola and Milo weren't intended as Mariner and Boimler expies but it kinda works
An Afterparty cover showing the protagonists Lola (a dark-skinned woman with kinky hair) and Milo (a light-skinned man with purple hair). They're both holding drinks. A screen from Star Trek: Lower Decks with Boimler (a light-skinned man with purple hair) and Mariner (a dark-skinned woman with kinky hair). Mariner is chugging a drink.

1. Afterparty (Night School Studios, 2020)

Two best buds find themselves inexplicably sent to Hell and the only way out is to 1) find a way into Satan's house party and 2) drink him under the table

Stopped because: Time limit reached
Revisit?: Maybe
A screenshot of Afterparty (Night School Studios, 2020) showing a page of bicker, its Twitter clone, where people still use hashtags.

Really I'm a hero
The meme of the soldier shielding a sleeping child. The child is labeled "MY FOLLOWERS" while the soldier is labeled "ME" and the various weapons being hurled at the soldier are labeled "UPSETTING SCREENSHOTS WITHOUT ALT TEXT."

Unfortunately the last book I read was A Christmas Carol so I guess my job is Victorian loan shark
You are now forced to have the same job as the main character in the last book you read. What is the job?

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
It’s the Club Penguin 911 meme. A penguin sits at a desk and answers a call. “What do you mean you’re being murdered / that’s illegal people can’t do that”.

Now I’m stranded and taking shelter in the nearest open restaurant, which turned out to be a steakhouse. I don’t eat beef so I ordered the only thing on the menu without it
