On the surface, Cozy Tide is a simple fishing game, but it there is so much more to do! Every time I play I unlock something new and I can't stop playing! There are also a huge amount of cosmetics to unlock and I keep changing them because I can't decide what outfit and companion to use.
I love a reverse builder, so it's no surprise BioEden caught my eye! Work in and outside a biome to bring the planet back to life. Helped by little worker bots called Charles!
Steam Next Fest press preview page is up... 4931 demos...!!!! Good luck everyone 🙏😅 store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfes...
Pelican Post is so charming! It's like a 2D Lake where you can't crash the van! And also you're a cute pelican called Pepper! Wishlist and play the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4458440/... Follow: @pelicanpost.bsky.social
I have a whole list of demos I want to try from the recent showcases, but then I can't stop myself loading up the Spirit Crossing playtest instead! It's been so fun seeing the @spryfox.bsky.social bears again and exploring this beautiful (and strange) world.
Just started Sayonara Wild Hearts (@geeksandgrounds.bsky.social game of the month!). Woah. So weird. So bright. I have no idea what's going on but collect the shinies and wow everyone looks so cool. Why am I shooting robot wolves? I love that it's not too punishing though, at least not yet.
So, have The Gamers™️not realised that Forza Horizon 6 is a cozy game with cars? If the subject matter were something other than cars they'd be calling it a "girls game". Embrace the cozy! And check out my bright pink Toyota 86!
I haven't played a racing game in years, but something about Forza Horizon 6 made me want the zoomies. I may never own an mx5, but I have a shiny one in the game now. There's also way more exploration than I was expecting it and I'm having a lot of fun! Even if I regularly crash.
Pieced Together is such a bittersweet experience. Learning about Connie and Beth's friendship through the years, knowing that in the present they haven't seen each other in a while. And reflecting on all the friendships that have come and gone in my own life. Plus it's so beautiful!
Somehow I forgot that Call of the Elder Gods was first person. "It'll be fine" I said to myself. It was not fine. But it is super pretty, just like Call of the Sea. I'll go back to it, but next time I'll have my motion sickness band on. #ScreenshotSaturday
Dorfromantik is my ultimate comfort game! I never expected we'd see more content for it, so I'm super excited for the new biome pack!
Hear ye, hear ye! The Medieval Biome Pack is coming to DORFROMANTIK on June 2! Get ready for 3 seasonal biomes, 2 new medieval-inspired music tracks, and a charming world full of half-timbered houses, sailing ships, and mighty castles! The Steam page is live today! WISHLIST NOW! #indiegame
InKONBINI ultimately wasn’t a game for me. I go through what I think it did well and where it fell short in today’s post.
InKONBINI review: a game that was too bland for my liking – Luna's Gaming Log
inKONBINI is a slice-of-life game set in a rural town in Japan in 1993. In this review, I go through what I think the game does well and where it falls short.

Today I realised Mixtape is on GamePass and I played it all in one session! It's like playing a really fun coming of age movie. Such a good game about teenaged friendships. And of course it has an excellent sound track. #ScreenshotSaturday
I'm not usually a pixel art person, but Ritual of Raven (@spellgardengames.com) looks so good! The colours and style are so beautiful. It's also a fun take on a farm sim. I'm also not usually into automation, but the way they implement it is super interesting and fun! #ScreenshotSaturday
Didn't think Snap the Cat would be about gaining likes on photos, but then I couldn't stop taking photos of the cats 😄 You unlock hats for them and one of them is just a cardboard box 😂 There is a playtest open if anyone is interested in snapping some cats. store.steampowered.com/app/4539530/...
I joined The Regreening playtest and I can't wait to see how the game progresses! The world is so beautiful, even the barren, desolate parts. It's so satisfying to see them flourish and bring colour and life back to the landscape though. I even got the bees to return!
I had the immense pleasure of putting together an illustration for this new australian Magazine, very humbled that that @serrels.bsky.social and @jacksonwryan.com chose me to scribble on their first cover. Please consider backing local australian journalism. there are stories here worth telling.
I want to introduce you all to something myself and @jacksonwryan.com have been working on. A PRINT MAGAZINE about video games and video game culture. We know things have been bad for games writing recently. We're asking, "do you want to Continue?" www.kickstarter.com/projects/con...
Can't believe it's been 10 years of Stardew Valley! With nearly 300 hours enjoyed, it's the longest I've spent with a game, and one I've come back to many times over the years. It's also the first game I streamed on Twitch back in 2017! This was one of my first start screens.
Even though I know I was just playing a demo and progress doesn't really matter, I still had to unlock the boat for my village in CatLands! I think this is my favourite demo so far this Next Fest. 🐈 store.steampowered.com/app/3581890/... #SteamNextFest
Jumping into NextFest with my first look at OddFauna and how amazing is this little guy! So happy! store.steampowered.com/app/4416310/...
Tiny Bookshop was one of my favourite games of 2025 and it inspired me in a way I didn't expect. I wrote about how it inspired me, and the books I may never have read if it weren't for @tinybookshopgame.com I hope you find some inspiration too! 📚 findthestrawberry.com/unexpected-i...

Just started playing Kentucky Route Zero for the first time for @geeksandgrounds.bsky.social game of the month and it's way weirder than I was expecting, in a good way! Giving me Oxenfree vibes, and looking pretty cool.

I just finished Gemporium where Moel has been thrown in the deep end running the Gemporium while granny has gone off on holiday. Spend your days mining, polishing and selling gems and then try to keep the loan shark at bay. Fun gameplay loop, but not much more. #ReviewTuesday

Woah. This is so cool! I've never played a daily puzzle game like this before. I started from the first puzzle and initially thought it was too tricky, but then I solved it! Try it for yourself: jamwitch.itch.io/the-daily-sp...
