There's been a lot of buzz around Paralives early access and I definitely have some... thoughts! In our latest video, we break down the gameplay so you know what to expect, but also share our thoughts on what it did well, what went horribly wrong, and whether or not we'd buy it again💸

We took a first look at the demo for The Edge of Water by @bigmoodgames.bsky.social🐬 The concept of being a human cast out of the waters by the life-giving ocean spirit, Su, and being forced to live on the water's surface, was more than enough to draw us into this one.
After buying and beating all available content in Alabaster Dawn, I can soundly say I'd recommend it to anyone who loves action RPGs, gorgeous pixel art, a thoughtfully well-written story with some great humor baked in, and a world that will continue to challenge your intellect in new ways.
Better late than never, as they say! Our May release list is done, and WOW, there are a lot of amazing games coming this month! From fast cars, to gorgeous pixel RPGs, some sleuthy spy action, and of course your cozy and casual titles too ❤️ 🔗 youtu.be/owfqrfKDnEw
We finally got some time to take a first look at the @loftia.bsky.social beta and are honestly really excited by what we see! Sure, there are a few rough edges to work out, but we're still curious enough to be playing more, so that's a good sign!😁💕 #Loftia #CozyGames
With all the hype around Windrose, we had to check it out for ourselves and see if it lived up to the praise it's received! So, let's put it to a 2-hour test and see if it's worth your time and hard-earned coin 🏴☠️🪙👇
With the announcement of Graveyard Keeper 2, we figured it was due time to properly play through the first one and see what all the buzz is about 🪦🦇 Tonight's stream is dedicated to being morally questionable at best 😁🖤
We're riding into the wilds tonight with The Legend of Khiimori! I've been really wanting to take a look at this one for over a year now, so we're going to take a short break from SSI and adventure through 13th-century Mongolia! Thanks, Aesir Interactive, for the opportunity!
We've been so excited to dive back into the world and explore with Lana and Mui, so now that the time has finally come, we're over the moon! Tonight's stream is dedicated to this gorgeous game ❤️ A huge thanks to Thunderful Publishing for gracing us with a key 💕
After MUCH deliberation on whether or not Derek and I should have a second channel for our Action/Adventure content, and have 'The Pillow Fort' reserved for our more casual/cozy content, we've decided to pull the trigger and split the two. Want to check it out? ⤵️ www.youtube.com/@theadventur...

We're finally feeling well enough to stream again, and what better way to come back than with one of our favorite cozy games ❤️ Time to do some adventuring, adopt a few adorable critters, and explore deeper into the Moonlit Forest! ✨
I actually had a blast with Under the Island by @slimekinggames.bsky.social 🏒 If you're a fan of pixel-adventure RPGs like the old Zelda games, then this one will scratch the nostalgia itch and provide a plethora of fun puzzles, memey monsters, and a clever story. Video in the 💬
We've put in a couple of hours offline with this one, but I think tonight it's time we share the experience with you! Feel free to pop by over the next two hours to see what this one's all about ⚔️❤️
Derek and I (Lil) have put a ton of thought into where we see TPF in 3-5 years, and after much deliberation, we've decided to make some big changes. We've included all these updates in an article to make it a bit easier to digest 💕Ty for understanding! www.the-pillow-fort.com/post/tpf-feb...
The Pillow Fort is Staying the Course, but changing a LOT!
After much thought on where we want "TPF" to be in 3-5 years, we've decided to organize them into one article and share with you.

To say we've enjoyed this one would be putting it mildly. Ducky is intent on chasing the World Record for Free Solo in Cairn and held it for a good 12 hours.🏔️ Needless to say, he's back at it again.😂 Thanks again @thegamebakers.com for this fantastic game! youtu.be/9CyLSG_Y8MI
