finally beat the first dungeon but jfc that took just short of forever and cause the city looks the same and the map is not great (thank god for pinpoint fast trvael) it feels so tedious

also really wish there was dungeon autosave and not just room to room but thats my own personal pet peeve
i cant even remember if the first dungeon in p3 or p4 were so long but it certainly *feels* that way and also WHOS IDEA WAS IT TO NOT HAVE MP RECHARGE

TURN ON LOCATION I JUST WANT TO TALK
metaphor refantazio has great presentation but jfc whos idea was it to make the FIRST FUCKIN DUNGEON so gdamn long ans having tk gk back n forth like i cranked down the difficulty just cause i was getting exhausted

37. Spirit Swap

Backed this one on Kickstarter ages ago because it looked neat, got my backer key earlier this year, and guess what? It is neat! Very chill Match-3 game, which has some excellent music to vibe to. There's a short story campaign to it too.

i feel a lot of issues with frankenstein are self care related like therapy, a bath, some new clothes, maybe leaving for england or america cause hed probably blend in better with all the other awkward pale humans
not sure if me but i think most versions of frankenstein are kinda hot

like its not a *great* lets hit that monster runnin like you can with dracula, wolfman, or black lagoon dude but its definiy a fixer upper

idk why grog is my go to example of a caveman/Neanderthal name and archetype but hes a kind soul. a Renaissance caveman
"grog it took 5 people and killed 2 of our tribe to take down that mammoth. why are you putting the fur on that small sabertooth kitten you found?"

"grog love bitey and made him vest. bitey is now a fancy boy."

"...he does look fancy"
so we have photographic evidence that old timey people dressed up their cat in people clothes, so it must be absolutrly true that cavemen and ancient egyptians did the same

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.

1. Carimara

Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.
