Just some games that looked interesting to me / that I've tried and can recommend. If I've played them, I've added my thoughts.
My interests are mostly story-focused games and puzzle games. I'm sure there are other games in the pack that are good/worth playing, but they simply aren't my style.
I loved it! Great aesthetic and good (and tragic) story. Beware that there are jump scares and a few timed sections, but overall, it's a VN with mild puzzle elements. I loved the character of Vincent so much. Unfortunately, it currently only has 4 out of 6 chapters out and the dev said they were slowing down the releases in order to not burn out. Chapter 4 does include an ending though so you can consider it a complete game with a few loose ends.
Currently only 2 of 5 chapters are released. I enjoyed what I played so far though, I definitely ship the MC with both of his love interests and I hope there's a poly option on the horizon...
Really short, like half an hour? It's a short character study with some kind of zen "clean the statues" gameplay. You move the mouse around to clean off moss, and get the MC's introspective about their screw-ups.
I lost interest while playing--I think I was faced with a binary choice I didn't like so I just stopped playing, lol. Might still be worth playing.
Broken game. Can't use the controller at all, no way to confirm controls. :|
Creepy point & click reminiscent of Year Walk. It's only half an hour long though, and serves more as a prologue than a full game. I enjoyed it but it might be worth waiting until the other parts are out.
Ahhh a super cute little game! And it's short! Definitely worth checking out.
It's too hard for me! But I love it anyway. Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful art. An underwater metroidvania.
This game is beautiful! I ended up getting lost but if you're into these sorts of games I think it's worth playing.
The aesthetic is so cute! And it's a short platformer, so I was all ready to beat this game... but it was too hard for me? :'( The punishment for death is getting sent back to your last savepoint, and those were not often enough. I got frustrated having to re-traverse areas that I'd had a hard time getting past the first time. If you have more patience (or are better at games than me) I'd still recommend it.
From the makers of Bastion, Transistor, and Hades! ... But it's not for me. I hated the gameplay so much.
I liked what I played of it so far but it's both spooky and very short!
Very cute and funny game! And short, only took me around 4-5 hours to beat. There's somebody handing out FREE MONEY all you have to do is give up your stuff.
I loved this one! Short and funny. There are some hilarious routes. I think a complete playthrough took me less than two hours.
This is a great game! Interesting mechanics (you manipulate the background to create paths) and a bittersweet story.
Short narrative game. I'm torn. I think it's well done, but the font was definitely too tiny, and the story didn't really grab me. I hated the narrator, lol.
Short narrative. I got a bit dizzy playing it, but overall it was fine. A lot more uplifting than I expected.
It's a simple hidden objects game. Nice and chill if you're into that sort of thing.
This was kind of fun, but I got frustrated with some of the mini-games. I never did manage to break up with everybody.
This is a short proof-of-concept type of game. The animation is gorgeous and I liked what I saw of the story, but it doesn't have a real ending. One playthrough is between 10-20 minutes and there are multiple endings (... but I somehow got the best ending on my first try). I do hope that a full game is released eventually.
A cute little game. You plant some flowers, you cook some food, and you talk to ghosts! I love the art style and enjoyed the characters, although I think it could have used a bit more meatiness in terms of character relationships.
