I guess i should do a “games i finished” thread

Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind

Clunky as hell, some of the worst “guess what I’m thinking” gameplay since old clunky Sierra games, but i loved it nonetheless

Pacing ramps in a thrilling fashion and had no idea where it was going!

A determined looking teenager with a teen girl standing behind him looking worried. An older man stands behind them, hand to his chin, thinking. Above them all is a schoolgirl with long, wild hair, her face in shadow as she floats in the air

Two gorgeous Latin American games I worked on for @fellowtraveller.games came out this year

1. Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, a beautiful papercraft styled adventure game by @gallagames.bsky.social about the afterlife and moving on.

Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo on Steam

Use your wits, kindness and maybe a good whack to untangle a mysterious curse in Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, a whimsical papercraft adventure about helping people move on.

Would you look at that!

A look at one of the initial concepts for Plaza! It's always kool to revisit these elements in their early stage.

Also, I hope you're having a great day. 🐍💙

when I came late to the party and found out that Tron Legacy was essentially a secret Daft Punk new release, boy did I track the vinyl down for that quick smart (and the remix album!)

IN THE BACKYARD??????

the worst I see are some roos lazing about in the less built up areas of town because I’m pretty far out from the city

tron is one of those movies that you remember being cool but then you watch it again you remember “oh wait, actually, no”

Ben, But Slightly Spookier @kosmologyb.bsky.social · 19h

I don’t think I could ever afford one of those as a 12 year old kid, so can’t really comment on that!

Silent Hill f (2025)

Trent’s band Mystik Spiral (but they might change their name) from Daria. Trent and Jesse are playing guitars and shouting “Ow, my nose! Ow, my face!”

Haha look honestly it’s not that bad, everyone just jokes about it

I am constantly raising my eyebrow at americans freaking out about spiders and snakes that will mostly just leave you alone when they have coyotes and cougars and wolves and BEARS

Oh my god Trauma Center

awesome game but really carved up your touch screen, haha

When I was working at Tantalus, my buddy @conorokane.bsky.social was playing the hell of it, and I am pretty sure his DS was ruined by the end

He got further than any of us though!

Actually - I wonder what Shovel Knight looks like on a CRT TV? I wonder if Yacht Club ever designed elements of it for CRT?

That would be some insane commitment

anyway thank you for reading my dumb thread, like and subscribe and don’t forget to leave a review on ebay
