Play Dead Man's Tale (and read the novelette) at Hidden Door:
Dead Man's Tale · Hidden Door
In the near future, people can volunteer to become a Nul — an empty vessel for a tiny creature called a NyVarnn, who are curious about the human experience.
You volunteered for the procedure expecting death, but something went wrong and you now find yourself an unwilling passenger to an alien in control of your body, out for adventure in New York City!

MISRAAKS ON RADIO: Greetings, Eva. I have viewed your Dawning drama “Home Alone”. This hatchling, Kevin…small and overlooked in his clutch, he nevertheless shows great ingenuity and courage…and rage. In this way he reminds me of my Eido. You were correct—I found it humorous when he screamed.

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

Saturn’s Children – From Charles Stross, a darkly comic space opera set in a solar system where humanity is extinct—but its robot heirs are very much alive. Play as an android navigating the remains of human civilization in a story equal parts noir, adventure, and existential absurdity.
