This is the best platformer I’ve played in recent years. I had excessively too much fun with it. It’s a game by a tiny French studio in Montpellier (I believe around 3 people) and it really should be better known as a game. At first glance it looks like a Pikmin knockoff. I’m not the biggest Pikmin player, so I...

The French do like the beautiful visual indie games. They really do. Old Man’s Journey is around 10 years old now, and for some reason they decided to add achievements to it now. So I figured, why not play it again? My first playthrough took me 79 minutes apparently, so, I’v nothing to lose. My opinion of the game has...

Very cute and chill. You play as a little mouse living in the city of Saint-et-Claire and you gain electricity powers after a storm. You also manage to get an electricity spirit stuck to an antenna, so now it’s your job to help out the people of Saint-et-Claire and make them happy in order for the spirit to gain back...

Undusted is a short cozy game where you go back to your parents house as an adult and dust old keepsakes and remember your relationship with your parents.

This game is apparently inspired by late 1990 plateformer, collectathons and childrens’ picture books. I can see the later without problem. The simplicity of the fairytale-like story, the book-pages-menu. I am confused how they thought this emulated the N64/PS1 games though. Maybe I played the wrong ones? The camera is nauseating, the gamplay is servicable but not really enjoyable, collecting...

There was a time, long long ago, when mobile games weren’t cash graps and full of gacha and lootbox games, free at first glance, but full of microtransaction once installed. There was a time, you bought a game that tried to make use efficiently of your phone, mostly the touchscreen. The Room was one of those games. Monument Valley another....

Hey, a swiss indie game, who would have known. It is funny to recognize where to photos were taken. It is a very raw and short experience. Exactly the kind of artsy stuff I like.

My second finished game of the year. Not a really compelling game in the end, I believe? I don’t know what the game wants to be, honestly. It is cute, and chill and full of ASMR. Do you like the clicking sound of keyboard-keys? Yes? That alone is going to make your day. Because you’re clicking (automatically) on keyboard-keys. But...
