Lovely little experience cute visuals

randomised speech

small environment

goes for a feeling more than gameplay

portrays a warm, friendly environment inside from the cold and does a good job 

WHY - portray a feeling, environment in a succinct way

very weird 

unsettling

very experimental

WHY - Unsettle player, something weird, experimental

short 4-5 mins

Fantastic 

great use of mechanics (or lack of) and overbearing music to enforce the role as an observer to this escalation of tensions

WHY - political? player agency take away? Humour?

very short 

weird

unsettling horror

told very well - a way with words

backgrounds look great 

WHY - unsettling, unease short horror

Great use of text and mechanics to make the player feel uneasy but then a great turn around to optimism and lovely sentiment

short - 2-3 mins

kind of usurping expectations

plays with emotions 

like many other micro games feels innately personal in a good way

micro game

another life thing gamified

takes dodgy controls and marries it with awkward situations and speech

2 players

fun, light hearted

i guess pokes fun at the idea of 'no homo'

part puzzle game with box packing part nostalgia trip a la gone home 

cool music

the active panel at the side with the images and controls available was very helpful

the credits as you go down stairs cool

another normal thing gamified 

playful atmosphere - writing, logo, cerdits etc

Another visual novely dating game 

nice use of spacing out discussions and giving player the clicker game to pass the time between the coffee guy visits 

i presume gives quite some choice over outcome?

Also i guess falls under the queer games category i think though doesnt make any point of stating it - its just there  no extra pomp and circumstance which is nice

maybe short?

interesting premise

adorable/awkward

balancing spicy, drunk and talking 

i guess it would fall under dating sim but its a (hot) take lol

games that are made branching from everyday occurrences mixed in with some weird stuff can be really interesting

Weird

open to interpretation

horror but like weirdness more than anything

cool music

movement too slow?

subvert expectations?

driving round yeeting packages into houses

simple concept

fun execution

points add to replay factor

certain skill element

nice little thing 

legacy

I get that the gamification and lack of feeling is the message but the lack of tact (possibly intentionally) left a sour taste - which, I guess the impersonal, indiscriminate nature of drone strikes lends itself to

Fleeting experience

The wording really gives you another perspective

its not like it asks you whether you're queer at the start - its a queer game, its not trying to please everyone but tell a specific kind of story

I like that the timer changes the screen when it runs out so the text you're halfway through disappears when the world does 

Limiting it to 10 seconds makes it very replayable - if it was a few minutes long it would be much less so

the timer also turns it into a keep trying the same things till you get to the end quick enough to read it and gamifies it like that
