huge anthology of transcribed Twine games (Twine is a really basic HTML framework for making simple hypertext games/interactive fiction). i wasn't allowed to play video games growing up so never really developed a formative relationship to them but found this to be a really resonate & inclusive anthology of indie “games” that reads as poems/stories but still honors them as games

A bitsy about receiving the worst news possible, and doing the dishes.
This is my first game. It's also my first project involving anything related to coding, programming or game-making, so if you have any feedback, I would love to hear it.
CW: suicide, grief, smoking, chores.
This game I got from this interview with Max Bradbury for the newsletter The Superhighway; a newsletter dedicated to bringing you the best kept secrets of the indie web and one of my latest obsessions.

in agreement with mouse nitw soup rema see
also agree with them that definitely limbo or inside will scratch the little nightmares itch, arguably playdead's games are a big inspiration for little nightmares.
depending on what you're into (more story or more gameplay heavy) for story. i cannot recommend "what remains of edith finch" enough. just a true gem and some of the best of interactive storytelling
for gameplay i love the witness, hi fi rush, and neon white. all very different, but maybe you'll find something you'll like
for a mix if both, disco elysium. dialogue HEAVY, but based in like ttrpg systems, it's really fun. REALLY long though, like maybe put aside some time to crack that one open lol
