I want to share more about what to look forward to in The Archives of Trevosa, our language-translating family-tree deduction game set in a mysterious kingdom, but I’ve been too busy making it! Here’s a preview of the lexicon, where you can (optionally) take notes on the words you’re learning.

I received an unexpected phone call. The late nights, early mornings, everything was blurring together. That voice ripped through a liminal moment as I struggled to stay awake. What if I'd been in the wrong place the whole time? The voice was yours. It wasn't a dream. It was time to go.

Saw Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma last night and I so truly, truly loved it. It just felt like such an earnest and honest love letter to making horror movies, and was such an interesting artistic take on horror's relationship to taboo, in a film that felt so joyful at the same time.

I adored @capycastaway.com from Toronto's @kittencupstudio.bsky.social. The art style is delightful, the animal interactions are adorable and the wonderfully cozy vibes were much-needed. But above all else, it was genuinely lovely to see how much of Toronto and Canada as a whole is in the game. 🍁

Toronto-made Capy Castaway is a joyous tribute to wildlife and Canadiana

The cozy game amusingly draws inspiration from Toronto's infamous Bonnie and Clyde capybara escape, but its charms extend well beyond that.

To be clear, the central narrative of Dalia trying to find her ex-girlfriend Maeve is also lovely and pays off well! But as Mr. Daddy Issues, I found myself most deeply connecting to the Dalia-Hale storyline. Very impressed with the storytelling, as well as the overall game design, across the board.

Toronto-made Ambrosia Sky is sci-fi storytelling at its most heartfelt

The "clean 'em up" gameplay is satisfyingly meditative, but it's the melancholic narrative that ends up hitting surprisingly hard.

Ambrosia Sky puts a sci-fi twist on the "power washing" subgenre and tells a unique story with chill-dread vibe I don't see in other games. Definitely check its full version now if that sounds interesting to you.

I loved @softrains.bsky.social’s Ambrosia Sky: Act Two. The level design is more intricate and the world-building even richer this time around, but I found myself genuinely moved by Dalia’s journey, especially in how much I relate to her strained relationship with her step-mother. A brilliant game.

My two video game modes right now are playing either Lost Letters (but ignoring the occult happenings, I just want to do my post office job, I'm very good at it, it's soothing) and Mario Kart online. Just meditative occult day job or the absolute chaos of Mario Kart World online, no in between.

The wonderfully talented folks at Toronto's @playhilltop.bsky.social just launched a Steam demo for their *very* promising gothic narrative roguelite, Curse of Resthaven. I got to check out the demo early and you definitely want to have this one on your radar!

One of this year's most promising Canadian indie games just got a free demo

Curse of Resthaven is the sophomore title from Toronto's Hilltop, the studio behind 2024's acclaimed Lil' Guardsman.
