Playing Undertale for the first time ✨

Rolled credits on Kitchen Sync: Aloha today!
This adorable RPG and kitchen management game sees you move to the Hawaiian island of Maikai to reopen your late aunt’s restaurant. I loved each character’s backstories, their personal relationship to food, and the bond system inspired by Fire Emblem.

I finished playing Fading Serenades this weekend, developed and published by @partnano.bsky.social.
It is a short bite-sized game with a lot of nostalgia for retro games.
Delivering packages and organizing your inventory has never been this satisfying.👌
Available for PC and MacOS. Def recommend it!

Indie games featured in the Galaxies showcase that I added to my wishlist ❤️

There will be no new post on the blog tomorrow. Life's super busy in the past few weeks (good things mostly!) and during my free time I only managed to play demos. Slowly working on a review for next week though.
I did have time to make this silly drawing of Izzy in the style of Dogpile.

Four more Next Fest demos I loved! Now it's the *coming VERY soon* edition:
1. Spooky Express, 21 Oct release @draknek.bsky.social
2. Winter Burrow, 12 Nov release @pinecreekgames.com
3. Little Corners, 13 Nov release @littlecornersgame.bsky.social
4. UMAMI, 17 Nov release @mimmox.bsky.social

Some of the games from Steam Next Fest I played and enjoyed!

I might make a second post if I have the time to play more demos this week🤞

Blog is now listed on ooh.directory 🥳

I found an Ancient seed on day 12 of spring year 1 in Stardew Valley, and that’s a bit crazy to me

Five more games that I wishlisted:
Perfect Tides: Station to station - Three Bees Games
Hermit and Pig @heavylunchco.bsky.social
RECUR @kaleidoscube.bsky.social
Map Map @pipapogames.bsky.social

Some of the games I wishlisted during the @sixoneindie.com showcase today (probably with more to come...)

Gecko Gods @inresin.bsky.social
Sheepherds! @ultimodisco.bsky.social
Moldwasher @rubel-games.bsky.social

I have to agree 🐕

Played PEAK with some friends last night for the first time and it was equal parts chaotic and hilarious

Adding the final touches on next week's blog post! I wonder what game it will be about 🤭

What have you been playing this week? I finished Projected Dreams, which is a beautiful and nostalgic puzzle game by @flawberrystudio.bsky.social where you use objects to form shapes through projections.
And we had a board game night and played Harmonies, a game by Johan Benvenuto.

Ithya: Magic Studies released a version for MacOS today, I’m trying it out and loving the art and music! My somewhat old macbook is complaining a little but that was to be expected
