  • cute little game that's genuinely fun to try to get better at
  • i love the aesthetics and the music is absolutely bumpin
  • v. nostalgic it reminds me of the flash games i'd fiddle around with as a kid
Domino Club

DOMINO CLUB
Interactive Fiction
Play in browser
mongrelgrim says
  • this largely self-referential domino club game is so stylishly lurid that it's worth playing even if u aren't familiar with the group's oeuvre i think !! slimy and weird without being too quirky
  • impressively convincing and nostalgic MS DOS style visuals (something i don't think gets pulled off well often)
  • i think i say this for every domino club game but its so nice to see dicks and boning in any piece of media what a breath of fresh air
EROSTASIS
body horror meet n fuck
DOMINO CLUB
Visual Novel

mongrelgrim says
  • ooooh i could gush endlessly abt domino club games, i love every aspect of this -- the rusted over and wire-encrusted visuals, the uncomfortably eroticized body horror, All Of It
  • making aspects of the body analogous to different sectors of a space ship is so uniquely done, it makes sparks fly out of the part of my brain that loves nasty space machines
  • please be advised that this game is very gory and explicit before going in!

mongrelgrim says
  • i struggled a little to decide which of my categories i wanted to put this in. lgbt ??? furry ??? surreal ?? but i went with sci-fi in the end bc i genuinely wish there were more sci-fi stories like this (there is a cyborg in it). does that make sense
  • i love this piece so much i love the music i love the sound effects and visuals i love the prose it's so rare to find games this well written and poignant
  • narrative about intrusive thoughts, violence, and sexuality that will have you up at one a.m. in a sweat thinking to yourself for weeks
Remember Places?
An AI is your only friend.
Bryce Bucher
mongrelgrim says
  • navigate two worlds -- the real and the digital -- alongside an AI that represents your only source of "human" interaction in a post-apocalyptic world
  • short but VERY good, i assume this was a response to the "remember places?" meme phrase during the pandemic and really does a great job capturing that sense of isolation
  • visuals are really cool too !! go play it!!!

interactive intimacy about being digital and in love

Interactive Fiction

mongrelgrim says
  • thoughtful twine game about the relationship between an AI and a human -- follows just one conversation between them but does a lot with it
  • i wish i could've gotten even more with these two characters, i love the exploration of what it would mean for an AI to be in a relationship with somebody
  • not sure what else to add check it out!!!

mongrelgrim says
  • thoroughly weird sci-fi horror game couched in a "simulation"
  • i really like its bleak atmosphere, this is another game that just sticks with you
  • the visuals and how it depicts its "programness" (i.e. code, processes running) are really cool

Adventure
mongrelgrim says
  • the atmosphere!! the visuals!! the sound design!! i wish real life had these shaders
  • wonderfully surreal, with a strange sort of dread to it -- it truly feels like a "broken dimension" you're ricocheting through
  • platforming is a bit fiddly but worth enduring just to be in this game

  • SHADERS!!!!!!! this game  looks cool as fuck even though it's a computer melter (might be framey)
  • i loved the weird ominous "dialogue" from the AI
  • one of my fave games using the "program" as a framing device, something about it really hits
