Eyes On: Covert Critter [Demo Available] Honestly this is going to be a different kind of Eyes On, it's literally Metal Gear Solid with animals, including a start up sound that is likely speaking similar enough to get them copyright struck. I'd say check it out before it gets pulled. #indiegames

Eyes On: Hawthorn [Proof of Concept Demo Available] Cautiously optimistic about this one, a life sim/builder fantasy rpg by some ex-Bethesda/Bioware/Naughty Dog devs who instead of trying to recreate Skyrim-lite like others chose to, have decided to get fully whimsical with it. #indiegames #cozy

Retro Game Of The Day: Kingsley's Adventure With the death of physical media, I find myself revisiting my retro collection more and more, now days i'm not even sure a game like this gets made without being harassed and sued by one of the big companies for being too much like Zelda/Banjo Kazooie.

Eyes On: Forgotten Station [Demo Available] Time loop games, i've only ever played 6 or 7 and they've mostly been within the last decade (sans Majora's mask), which sounds like a lot but considering I play on average 2-3 thousand indies a year, this makes it a special genre to me. #indiegames

Today I Played: MEATHOOK So this was covered in an eyes on, but now it's out! And it's.. Just okay, shooting baddies is fun but the controls have left something to be desired and the gameplay length is sort of short, but for $6 there aren't many rail shooters on PC outside emulation. #indiegames
