TWELVE CANNETTES

NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL RESALE

DOMINO CLUB

Interactive Fiction

Play in browser

mongrelgrim says

intriguing characters that you learn about piecemeal through a series of conversations
really unusual UI for a text-based game . i feel weird complimenting this specifically but i really love it
dialogue that's very naturalistic/casual without seeming forced or corny

Saturn V

A music exploration experience and a hang.

Cosmo D

Adventure

mongrelgrim says

i'm the biggest cosmo d simp in the world and this was nice little taste while i desperately wait for more games from them
the aural soundscape of this game (as usual) is so good, i love how the music subtly shifts from room to room
i love walking around and seeing the various stock image surprises as well

The Zium Garden (2018)

Zequel to The Zium Museum

The Zium Society

Simulation

mongrelgrim says

I LOVE A DIGITAL MEDIA MUSEUM YOU CAN EXPLORE IN A GAME please more of this creators
art installations that are well worth poking around and exploring
lots of variety from videos to kinesthetic "sculpture" to gamelets

Data Mutations

We mutate the genepool. We mutate each other. Until we find a better solution.

AAA

Simulation

mongrelgrim says

i love the concept behind this set of collaborative games -- assets, words, and concepts shared by creators making their own unique little experiences
tons of variety, each one is worth exploring and playing around with
superb brain-tickling visuals

TENUOUS:City

An interactive music album inspired by GERMS: Nerawareta Machi

Modus Interactive

mongrelgrim says

music is fabulous and visuals are well chosen to match it
explore around some vignettes and read the enigmatic dialogue
not much to say abt this one it's just visually very cool

Hyperdeath

Escape the Simulation

Death Orgone

Action

mongrelgrim says

this game is hard as hell but its visuals are worth playing it for
snake but somehow harder and more evil . outrun the evil skull . this is inspired by NO/THING apparently and i see it
jean baudrillard is invoked which is wild in itself

flaming/million

short rpg | glitches are queer jam

nilson

Adventure

Play in browser

mongrelgrim says

NES game that got really sick
does an uncannily good job capturing the feeling of a thoroughly glitched and deepfried game
some of the puzzly aspects are frustrating but it feels like a great companion piece to some of the more straightforward rpgmaker/NES inspired games on this platform

10 Beautiful Postcards

Check-in to the hotel of your dreams, today!

thecatamites

mongrelgrim says

easily one of my favorite itch games, somehow it just sticks with you
explore a weird and handcrafted world with funny and deranged dialogue, try to find all of the "postcards"
if i could live in this game forever i would

Neko Yume 猫夢

Explore a cat-filled dream world.

Modus Interactive

mongrelgrim says

kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitties
best lsd: dream emulator inspired game by virtue of having a ton of cute kitties in it
absolutely worth poking around in, try to find all of the Cat Zones

Fugue in Void

experimental exploration game

Moshe Linke

Adventure

mongrelgrim says

walk around and soak up that atmosphere
nothing much to this gameplaywise, but well worth going through just to enjoy the ambience and visuals
be careful though i got stuck on geometry and had to restart from the beginning
