The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

The snowy adventure of Season 3 has come to an end! ❄️ The next season of our daily puzzle game will begin on September 15th! thinkygames.com/dail...

King of Dragon Pass and Six Ages are terribly underrated. A must-play if you are interested in games that blend narrative and systems. I'm super excited about the upcoming game from these devs.

We're taking a trip to hell, but some of us won't make it back... Gather your party and join us when Thousand Hells: The Underworld Heists by @radiofreelunch.bsky.social releases on September 8th 😈 store.steampowered.com/app/3794210/...

It's been heartwarming to see all the love A Playlist for the End of the World has been getting since its release. Thanks to the work of Kaja Solska, the game is now available in Polish too (on top of English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese). ludipe.itch.io/a-playlist-f...

Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc

These days we're talking a lot about game preservation. Big platforms leaving physical format behind and so on. Let's not forget about mobile. It's full of platform-exclusive games, with no physical support, and games get removed all the time when the dev isn't able to update them constantly.

The player reactions to today's Thinky Dailies (@thinkygames.com) puzzle are so good. If you have played the last ones, you'll really appreaciate what @m-enderbug.bsky.social did on this puzzle. thinkygames.com/dailies/

Puzzle folks, if you aren't doing Thinky Dailies then you should check them out. Short* logic puzzle varieties with a story attached. (*YMMV. Sometimes short, sometimes not, sometimes really do need those attached hints...)

10 years ago, I released Sacramento. A tiny game in the vast world of video games, but a huge part of my creative & professional life. It has become a precious time capsule, a reminder of who I was then, and everything I’ve done since. Happy 10th birthday, Sacramento! ❤️ Music by Glass Body ✨

I've been meaning to read something from Patricia A. McKillip for such a long time. Finally giving this a try.

"Urban Myth Dissolution Center" developer MOCHIKIN created a website that lets you share 9 Steam games that you would like to see more widely known. The website will also provide recommendations to similar games based on your picks. 9games.pages.dev

This is a very cool read for those interested in board games, TTRPGs, and asymmetrical multiplayer games.

There are so many games the world forgot about that are absolutely fascinating. These days, I was thinking about Mizzurna Falls, a PS1 game with huge Twin Peaks vibes where you explore the city trying to figure out what happened to a missing classmate.

It was very cool to see A Playlist for the End of the World here. I've received lots of messages from people telling me about their experience playing the game, and they're always heartwarming. jayottersong.substack.com/p/my-favouri...

I often think about how I want more games that tackle the drama and planning we see in spy movies and shows. Sure, we have plenty of action/stealth games where you are a spy infiltrating some facility. But not a lot about what happens at the offices, plotting, considering diplomacy and so on.

I clicked the wishlist button so hard.

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

Life is often weird, and today I find myself watching Jeff Goldblum in concert.

Not surprising seeing recent news, but it's still a shock. Obsidian has made my favorite RPGs, I'd hate to see it disappear.

Hey indie peeps. I'm going to be doing Kotaku's Indie Penance Day on Friday July 3 this year. If you have an upcoming or recently released game that deserves eyes, please email me at jwalker@kotaku.com with the subject "INDIE PENANCE 2026", and include a store link and YouTube video. Rules follow.

I think going through the Arcs campaign took us around 15-20 hours? I really like Arcs (base game), but the campaign is a whole different level. If you're into board games, you should look into trying it. We're already discussing playing again.
