Consume Me is one of the must-plays of this year, just wonderful. Hard to capture in still images how charming the art is in every single moment.

② Ooh la la! Can you deliver the perfect kiss? Run a kissing booth (with totally accurate kissing dynamics!!) while you try to kiss crushes from your Secret Crush Diary. Kiss accurately to maintain interest... kiss poorly to say goodbye.

Played Consume Me. Loved Consume Me. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/o...

Consume Me review - anything but empty calories

A teenage slice-of-life tale, an energy-management challenge and a satire of diet culture – this indie award-winner is a flavoursome treat

If you're unaware, Goodnight Universe is being made by a bunch of the people that made Before Your Eyes, the really sad game that you controlled with your webcam.

I played the demo for this new experience earlier in the week, and I gotta say... they've done it again!

If you love the craziness of sandbox games, then this is going to be your new obsession. This week on YouTube, I explored the wonderfully wacky world of Henry Halfhead!

What craziness can we whip up in a world where you can literally BE ANYTHING?! Check out the video!

Consume Me is a work of autobiography born out of its creator's real experiences growing up in NYC. I spent a day with the devs visiting real places that inspired the game and looking through boxes of high school memories. A chat about how to adapt reality to game. www.polygon.com/consume-me-j...

The artists who turned teenage obsessions into an award-winning video game

To create an interactive autobiography, Consume Me's creators had to turn teenage memories into playable self-portraits.
