Finished Citizen Sleeper by @jumpovertheage.com for @pixelexplorersclub.bsky.social game club

The music and the art style really brought the setting to life. The story caught me, I liked making my mark on the Eye, deciding its future.

Looking forward to playing the second one in the future.

Just finished Neva, developed by @nomada.studio, for @pixelexplorersclub.bsky.social game club. I think it's one of the most visually beautiful games I've ever played.

I really liked how the story was complemented by the game mechanics you had access to. Also, you can pet the dog - that's 100/10 😤🔥

Get the breathtaking Gris and Neva from @nomada.studio for less than $15 combined in the Steam Summer Sale.

Feels like it should be a mandatory purchase, but we have no real way of tracking or enforcing that.

While this is an incredibly exciting project that I am thoroughly enjoying working on, on top of my full time job and @buzzbang.bsky.social consulting, it isn't leaving me with much time for the club (or to play my backlog!) 😭

2. I played @sandwitchdev.bsky.social as part of @pixelexplorersclub.bsky.social indie game club.

The game is great, it has an amazing world and its fun to explore Cigalo and find all the secrets laying around - it's like a Zelda without fighting.

The visuals and music are 💯💯💯
