Eclipsium is one of those games that's worth playing just to experience its audio-visual splendor.

Its horror overwhelms you on all fronts and the obscured imagery plays with your mind.

Read my review!

inconsolable. why do i make myself watch this sport for 162 games just to be put through the absolute emotional wringer and, in this case, get totally shafted by some umpire who can't see shit. :(

Nate "Naetoid" Hermanson @naetoid.bsky.social · 7d

Always! We champion the games we love.

Gotta do it in today's landscape. <3

Why don't you have it already?

Spirit Swap celebrates queer joy, its got more representation than probably most of the big budget games out there do combined, and it's fun as hell.

Still so excited for this project, a collaboration between two of my favorite indie devs, bringing my love of solitaire into the indie horror space.

Don't miss out on being part of the wave with this one, gamers.

Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie @greyalien.bsky.social · 7d

Wooooo! We hit 30,000 wishlists for Forbidden Solitaire.

This is like nothing that's ever happened to us in 20 years of making indie games. Huge thanks everyone!

Could have done with more runs, but good to see the top of the lineup fight.

Now we see if Dylan's up to redefining his Padres legacy right here right now.
