It’s Friday! How are you? How was your week? There’s been a billion indie games that have come out in the last week so there’s going to be a lot that this post leaves out. Also if you’ve written me an email and I haven’t responded yet, sorry, I have just been super busy. I even saw Devo and the B-52s last night and had a good time. But please feel free to let me know about your indie game through my contact info on the About page. Or even just to say hi! That’s always nice too.
Spirit Drop, an entry in the Falling Blocks jam
A few game jams wrapped up this week with many wonderful games created for each. If you like games like Tetris then I highly recommend the Falling Blocks Jam on Itch.io. There’s a lot to dig through there but it has lots of interesting takes on the falling blocks genre. If you like adventure games, you may enjoy the $109 Adventure Game Challenge. I’m a bit less enthusiastic about this one since it allows AI art, especially since it has a cash prize, but there’s some good games in there like Eulogy for Nonno or Intern’s First Day.
I think one of the biggest releases this week is Consume Me (Steam), an semi-autobiographical game about being in high school. It won the Seamus McNally Grand Prize at the Independent Games Festival!
3D Don’t Die Mr. Robot (Steam) was one of my favorite indie arcade games from last year so it’s fun seeing it get a demake for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Well I guess technically it’s a demake of the first game but I only played the 3D one. Also on Itch.io if you prefer that
Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 got a standalone expansion? Prequel? Anyway, the Puzzle Quest-like Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 1 Re-Raptored is now available on Steam.
Arctic Awakening (Steam/PS5/XBox) is a first-person sci-fi thriller about surviving in the arctic after a plane crash.
Waste Your Wedding (Itch.io) is a free platformer about trying to eat a giant cake.
Mala Petaka (Steam) is one of those retro shooters but look at those colors! It’s made in the GZ Doom engine too. If you want to try it out, there’s a demo on Steam.
That’s it for this week! Like I said, feel free to let me know about your game in whatever way works best for you. Nothing with AI art please!
Every day I wake up and say “What a week.” But it’s Friday, which means it’s actually near the end of the week so that’s something I suppose. Being back in school while having a full time job means that lately it’s just been free and pay-what-you-want indies I’ve been playing. Nothing wrong with that of course, but if you’re wondering why a lot of the bigger commercial indies aren’t on here, that’s why. Six One Indie did a nice indie game showcase yesterday and that’s probably a better way to become more familiar with those. You could also always look at my list of indie game websites and plug them all into your RSS feed reader of choice.
The Play for Peace – Games for Palestine 2025 Charity Bundle (Itch.io) bundle sale ends in a few days. Foor $8 or more you can get tons of great games
There’s another anthlogy from the game dev collective I’m in! I didn’t work on this one but Locally Sourced Anthology II: The Timeline (Steam) is a collection of 5 games set in different points in time in different genres.
_ΩMEGA_POINT (Itch.io) is a Pay-What-You-Want walking simulator where you explore the last moments of a dying world in a mech.
Indiepocalypse #68 (Itch.io) is out. Check it out for a great collection of experimental indie games. Only one more month until we get to the nice number.
I’m just really fascinated by Mars Attracts (Steam) using the dormant Mars Attacks license to make a sim game. It’s nice to see that the user review for it have been positive too. What a weird thing to exist (complimentary).
Eclipsium (Steam) may not be for me because I’m not a big horror games person but I really like it looks. I just like a game that always has a hand sticking out in front.
Toward From (Itch.io) is a short experimental browser game that I think does some neat stuff connected to movement and was created for the Game Poems Community Showcase.
Matt Stark keeps creating really fun browser toys focused on building things and they’ve made another one. Mazegarden (Itch.io) is, as you would expect, a game focused on building maze gardens.
A new PUNKCAKE Délicieux game has arrived! Frontline: War of Echoes (Itch.io) is a capture the flag game where you play against recordings of yourself from previous runs.
Snarl (Itch.io) is a short point-and-click horror adventure set in a diner and available for Pay-What-You-Want. Be sure to check out the developer’s other adventures on their Itch page too if you’re a point-and-click adventure fan.
A Chirp in Space (Itch.io) is just a cute 3D puzzle platformer available for free!
After taking a break from these for a while, I’m finally doing another one. I don’t know if I’ll go back to the weekly format I was doing because that was a lot, but I missed doing them. I think Blaugust kinda burned me out a little and I had a lot going on anyway. I couldn’t think of a clever bit where I go on about it being a quiet week and ignoring Silksong, but pretend I did I guess. It’s probably not a game I’ll play for a long time since I haven’t really played the first one much but I’m glad it’s doing so well. Don’t really have a spicy take on the reception of that.
This post is going to be weird since I was missing so many weeks and there’s been a ton of bundles I’ve missed and just generally out of the loop on things, so there will probably be some really weird obscure things listed in here and also missing some bigger games, but I think that happens quite a bit with these anyway since I mostly just play adventure games. Speaking of, there’s a ton of those in this post.
IF Comp just started for its 31st year, and you can play and vote on this year’s entries. It’s wild to think about how this started 31 years ago, when Interactive Fiction was “dead” after Infocom was shut down. I think Legend Entertainment was just pulling away from text adventures at this point but there was still some commercial IF coming out. It’s always weird thinking about the time spans of adventure game companies and how companies like Wadjet Eye have been making commercial adventure games for a longer period than Infocom and Lucasarts. Time is weird!
Speaking of adventure games, it was fun seeing two of them coming out on the same day as the new Hollow Knight. The GTA 6 of Indie Games thing was always silly because not everyone is going to play the same genre! Like I generally play more casual stuff and Silksong is probably too hard for me. Casebook 1899 – The Leipzig Murders (Steam/Fireflower Games) is a point-and-click adventure set in late 19th-century Leipzig, Germany where you are a detective solving murders.
The other adventure game I was excited about on Silksong day was Maura & Ash (Itch.io), a free point-and-click adventure that runs in DOS! It’s just a really solid sci-fi adventure game and it’s fun to see that there’s a new engine for making adventure games and can build for DOS!
Another one I’ve been excited for is Neyyah (Steam), which came out earlier this week. It’s a Myst-like with prerendered graphics and the amount of FMV in the trailer made me happy too. This one has been in development for quite a while.
I get excited about seeing old games being rereleased on Itch.io too. One of those is Dr. Blob’s Organism (Itch.io), an arcade game from 2003. I remember enjoying this one and it’s available as Pay-What-You-Want.
Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead (Steam) is an arcade game where you complete shopping lists while fighting off zombies. I remember playing a demo for this one a year ago and having a good time. It’s also got a co-op mode.
I’m a huge fan of Octavi Navarro’s games and I’m always happy to see another one. The Supper: New Blood (Steam/Itch.io/GOG) is a horror point-and-click adventure featuring great pixel art. I don’t believe it’s a direct sequel to The Supper (Steam/Itch.io), but that one is very good, free, and short so I recommend playing that anyway.
Yet another point-and-click adventure game to come out last month was Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken (Steam), a horror game by the developer of Don’t Escape: 4 Days to Survive. This one leans more in a survival horror direction and has some very nice isometric pixel art.
There’s a new batch of LITHOBREAKERS games on Itch.io! Sorta like DOMINO CLUB, it’s a collective of anonymous game devs and no one knows who worked on each one, except me because I know everything.
I haven’t played it but Blast Rush LS (Steam/Switch) looks like a fun shmup with lots of explosions.
Death to a Merry Car (Itch.io) is a short visual novel you can play in the browser by the creator of Rodeo Clown.
Carnival (Steam) is a horror point-and-click adventure released last month. I don’t know a whole lot about it but Buried Treasure seemed to really like it.
And finally, I’m a fan of Howdy Riceball’s Game Boy games and they just made another one, it’s a cute puzzle game called Polar Peril and you can play it for free on Itch.io.
That’s it for this week. Again, apologies if I missed something you made. I was out of the loop for a while as I was on vacation and also busy with school stuff.
I don’t know what happened but it feels like there were a million games this weekend, so apologies for the massive and kinda messy list. I hope you all are doing well. Blaugust has been pretty fun so far and it’s been nice seeing so many posts from other people I follow. If you’ve got a blog, consider joining in and posting a bunch!
Video Games
A new Indiepocalypse (Itch.io) has been released this month, featuring a nice set of video games and ttrpgs.
Wildwood Down (Steam) is an adventure game where you must solve a murder mystery at a boardwalk in New Jersey. The game features a protagonist with Down Syndrome modeled after and voiced by the designer’s childhood friend and has been receiving positive reviews from what I can see, which I think is really neat. There’s a demo available too.
I haven’t played anything submitted to the GMTK jam but it has almost 10,000 games so I’m sure there’s a few good ones in there.
Strange Jigsaws (Steam) is what you expect it to be, a collection of strange jigsaw puzzles. But I was a big fan of their previous game, the very good and free 20 Small Mazes.
This Downpour game touring the games exhibit at a local library is great! More games folks should do events at their library.
FALLSTRUKTUR (Steam/Itch.io) is a free game where you must descend down a giant structure in a first person view without falling too far. Sometimes you’re just awful at a game but can appreciate that it’s well made.
Valerie Paris has a very nice asset pack and tutorial on Itch for doing your own Myst-style adventure game.
Zentera (Itch.io) was already out but the assets and engine were just released for people to use on their own games.
Wholesome Games is doing a whole thing on Steam, don’t @ me about discourse, and it seems like some games releases have happened during it too? Is This Seat Taken? is a puzzle game about seating people at tables and booths. And Tall Trails is a chill exploration game.
I don’t think? Tiny Bookshop (Steam) is connected to that one, but I am a book nerd so this has been one I’ve been watching for a while. It has a demo!
I don’t think Sands of Home (Steam) is either but it’s heavily marketed to the chill, cozy games crowd as well. It is an isometric puzzle game and features a demo.
1000 Deaths (Steam) looks like a very trippy 3D platformer and there’s a demo available to try. Something about it reminds me of early 00s console games.
I don’t know anything about PAGER (Steam) but it’s an adventure game with a nice 1-bit aesthetic so it’s going in the post. Someone let me know how it is!
I haven’t heard anything about Prometheum (Itch.io) either but it’s published by Thalamus so it’s probably a good arcade game where you blow things up. I was also excited to see that Ste Pickford did some art for the game.
Desktop Forest (Steam) is just a really chill time on your desktop and it’s $1. There’s a bunch of options so you can adjust it to the scenery you like and then you just let it run and listen to the nature sounds.
Azaran: The Demon Bottle (Steam) is a short game inspired by the first Zelda game.
TTRPGs
Dragon Reactor (Backerkit) is described as a “mythopoetic mech tragedy game about conflict on a grand scale.” It’s for 2+ players, with one as a GM, has a demo, and I think it’s worth a look. I’m a huge fan of Dinoberry Press and it’s always nice to see them working on another game.
Since I skipped doing this last week, this is going to be an entry that is both huge and also missing a lot of stuff so apologies in advance for that. I’m probably not going to talk about a lot of bigger things like the new Ninja Gaidan because I don’t even know if those things qualify, but feel free to reply with whatever things you’re excited about. If you have time, help fight against the delistings of games by calling in to payment processors. You can also play this Game Boy game on Itch for more information.
TheVideo Games
The Chambers Beneath is now available! I think I mentioned this one in a previous blog update but I’ll mention it here too. It’s a new roguelike for DOS that I got to beta test and I think it’s very good. The game is available as Pay-What-You-Want on Itch.io and the developer’s site. I’m not good at it (I’m always awful at roguelikes) but it was very easy for me to pick up and get going in this one.
INSERT/DATE/HERE is a short browser game about the genocide in Gaza on Itch.io and the amount of deaths that have happened so far.
Draw a Fish is a browser game where you draw a fish, see how accurate of a fish it is, and then have it swim with other fish people have drawn.
No Signal (Itch.io/Steam) is a first person adventure game about exploring an abandoned space station and learning about what happened to the crew.
Dead Take is a new horror adventure game on Steam. I know nothing about it other than it has FMV so it automatically goes in this post.
Mishina (Steam) is a digging game by the folks that made Judero and it’s filled with tons of great stop-motion animation.
Heartworm (Steam) is a horror game inspired by classic games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill with optional tank controls.
Sunken Stones (Steam) is a turn based puzzle-strategy game about pirates and cursed treasure. If you want to try the game out first, there’s a demo on Itch.io.
The Manhole from Memory (Glorious Trainwrecks link) is an attempt to recreate the classic Cyan game The Manhole entirely from memory inside of Decker.
Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking (Steam) is the newest game by Strange Scaffold, folks I’m always excited to see new games by. It’s a co-op horror game you are medieval monks and must feed giant monsters, so I guess it’s what it says on the tin, as British people would say. I refuse to call this friendslop because slop is supposed to have chunks of things in it.
Time Flies (Steam) is an adventure game where you have a limited amount of time as a fly to do a variety of goals and features some great looking 1-bit art.
TheTabletop RPGs
Playlist Dungeon is a dungeon crawling ttrpg that is designed to be quick to pick up and play for 1-4 adventurers and one DJ, with the character creation process being based on playing songs. It’s available as Pay-What-You-Want on Itch.io
Underneath (Itch.io) is a solo cave mapping game of the unexpected things you encounter underground using a map, journal, and dice. Just got this one from backing the kickstarter and I’m so excited to play it.
This week it would mean a lot to me if you could support the GoFundMe for Roberta Vaughan. She is going through a horrific medical crisis right now and any support, no matter the size, would help her family. She’s done so much for many other folks in the adventure game community and it’s time for all of us to do what we can to help.
Well, there’s no way to really make a transition from that to games talk, but here we go. Here’s some recent games I was excited about I guess!
Video Games
This year continues to be packed with so many adventure games. Ghost Town (Steam) is a VR game (by the developers of The Room?) where you are a ghost hunter with supernatural abilities looking for her brother in London during the 80’s.
The Drifter (Steam) is a point-and-click adventure game that I’ve been waiting for quite a while. You play as a drifter (of course) that’s been murdered and then brought back to life. I really enjoyed Powerhoof’s games, including their games on Itch.io that use the PowerQuest plugin for Unity, a plugin for making point-and-click adventure games that is meant to work in a similar way to Adventure Game Studio.
Signs of Life (Steam) looks like a creepy and surreal mystery game available for free.
The newest and final season of Neurocracy has started! It’s a free (although they take donations) interactive fiction game where you explore a wiki set in the future and uncover mysteries, all while interacting with the rest of the community on a forum and roleplaying in character.
Super 10 Pin (Itch.io) is a new bowling game from Modus Interactive. I played the demo and was incredibly impressed with how it captures the feel of a Nintendo 64 game. It’s not on Steam yet but buying it on Itch.io will give you a key.
Speaking of which, Steam has started removing adult games from their store because of bullying from Mastercard and Visa. Other people are already doing better writing elsewhere on why Steam should stand up to this but you know who isn’t removing them? Itch.io. EnbyKaiju put together an Itch list of some of their favorite queer adult games. Some of my favorite games, adult or not, are on there and I think it’s worth a look.
Cyclopean: The Great Abyss (Steam/Itch.io) is a CRPG inspired by games like Ultima and Questron where you switch between two views, a top-down view for navigating an overworld and a first-person view anytime you enter a dungeon. I think the retro aesthetic looks very nice too.
Kaizen: A Factory Story (Steam) is a new puzzle automation game by the original Zachtronics team. I’m not smart enough for these games but I sure do respect them.
The Necromancer’s Tale (Steam) is an isometric rpg with tactical combat where you play as a Necromancer (of course) seeking revenge. I also appreciate that when they bring up how much they wrote for the game, they point out that they did not use generative AI at all. I suppose we’ll be seeing that a lot from now on.
Sunfluffs (Steam/Itch.io) is a relaxing game in Early Access focused on exploration and platforming, with no fail states and has Gamecube controller support.
Occlude (Steam) is a solitaire-like in the form of a cosmic horror narrative puzzle game.
Tabletop RPGs
This free Skyrim TTRPG on Itch.io is meant to emulate the gameplay of the video game while trying to eliminate as much of the grind as possible.
MAC Attack: Mobile Armour Colossus is a mecha miniature tabletop wargame from Bastionland Press that is currently seeking crowdfunding. It’s already complete so this would just be to fund a print run of the rules.
Glitter and Grit (Itch.io) is a Laser & Feelings and Honey Heist hack in which you are trainees in a Kpop survival show, trying to debut in a Kpop group. It is available as Pay-What-You-Want.
Lemon Shark (Itch.io) is a fun PICO-8 game that turns Pac-Man into a turn based puzzle game. There’s a little more to that but it’s a really nice twist on the formula.
The pink decker jam is still going on Itch.io and there’s already quite a few games submitted. Decker is a Hypercard-like tool and this jam is about making apps and games using a pink palette created for the jam.
As required by law, I am here to inform you that a new Indiepocalypse is out on Itch.io. This one features a brand new ttrpg by Viditya Voleti so of course it’s a great one.
A Solitaire Mystery (Steam) is a collection of solitaire games by the designer of Baba is You, with some of them being more standard solitaire games and others being more experimental.
GrimVaders (Itch.io) is a neat autobattler for browsers with nice pixel art.
BioMenace Remastered (Steam) released a demo with a full released planned for this fall. Bio Menace was originally a 1993 shareware game that was published by Apogee, but I believe the original developer owns the rights. The developer who worked on the remasters of Duke Nukem 1 and 2 for the Evercade is leading development of the remaster.
ChipWits (Steam) is a remake of the 1984 puzzle game for the Macintosh.
A Chamber of Stars (Steam/Itch.io) is a surreal adventure game about the rise and fall of a rock star.
It’s USA’s birthday. Hope its empire ends soon. Have some indie games.
I already wrote about it yesterday but Atuel (Steam/Itch.io/Android) is great and worth a look. It’s a surreal documentary about the Atuel River Valley in Argentina and how climate change has impacted it.
I already shared his blog post about it before but Terry Cavanagh really loved this mod on Itch.io for his game VVVVVV.
The Neo-Twiny Jam just wrapped up. It’s a jam where people make Twine games with 500 words or less and it’s a great opportunity for games to have experimental mechanics. I noticed it when I saw the game Glory by Grim Baccaris pop up in my Itch feed but you should dig around and see what else folks are doing with Twine.
Curse Match (Itch.io) is a puzzle game made in PICO-8 where every level results in you choosing a curse that will make the gameplay more difficult. It’s free to play in the browser but you can also buy a download and it looks like it’s already raised enough money to fund a soundtrack. I just think it’s fun to see PICO-8 games doing well.
Super Brick Maker 9000 (Itch.io) is a browser game that plays like a reverse Breakout. Hitting blocks causes more to appear. It’s for The Bad Game Jam but I think it’s good.
SUPER TAKE A SHOWER WHILE AUTISTIC AND LIVING IN A CRAPPY APARTMENT WITH BAD WATER HEATING PRO 2000!! (Glorious Trainwrecks/Itch.io) is an autobiographical game about….well
Hellkind (Steam) is a free short top-down horror game where you investigate a cult and ritual. I enjoyed the grainy black and white visuals and how it managed to be creepy without resorting to any jump scares. The game only takes 15-20 minutes to complete but there’s optional details you can discover if you want to investigate further. I wrote a little more about it here.
That’s it for this week. As usual, feel free to let me know about other neat stuff that has recently come out in the comments. Or even just what you’ve enjoyed playing lately. It doesn’t have to be new!
If you can believe it, it’s a Friday once again. This one is short. Maybe I missed a ton of big announcements or people are just holding off from releasing games during a Steam, or both. That’s fine, there’s still quite a few games that came out this week.
Video Games
Don’t Eat the Cat (Itch.io) is a free Bitsy game where you make an Important Choice in a video game.
Dino Sort (Itch.io) is a cute and free puzzle game made in PICO-8 where you sort dinosaurs into groups.
Quantum Witch (Steam) is a 2D fantasy adventure game heavily built around making decisions and multiple playthroughs to see how the game’s story changes.
Project Silverfish (Steam) is an open-world immersive sim with horror elements that just entered Early Access and may or may not be furry adjacent (I don’t know! I don’t know shit about anything). It looks very neat and maybe I’ll play it when I can stop being a baby.
Ruffy and the Riverside (Steam) is a 3D platformer, maybe one of those that counts as a collect-a-thon. I just really like how the 2D character art looks in a 3D world.
Tabletop RPGs
Break the Law (pdf on developer’s site) is a short uhhhhh roleplaying game that the dev linked to on their site about ways to subvert the system.
cutestpatoot had a birthday and celebrated by releasing a new game. Mixed Feelings (Itch.io) is a tabletop rpg that you play by making mix cds and playlists.
I am a big fan of Cezar Capacle’s solo ttrpgs and there’s a new one! Mausworn (Itch.io) is a ttrpg that combines the solo ttrpg mechanics with the Redwall and Mouse Guard inspired game Mausritter.
First I’ll do some self-promo and mention that I’ve made a Steam curator page. I don’t know. It seemed like a fun thing to do. Still the same goofy website name I use here. I probably should have come up with a better site name years ago but then sometimes I think, no, websites should have goofy names like Happy Puppy. I also made a similar list of things I’ve reviewed on Itch.io except you can’t follow Itch lists! That should be something you can do IMO.
Ok, self promo over. Here’s some games. If I missed anything, feel free to mention it in the comments. Self promo is absolutely welcome too!
Video Games
Games To Get Excited About is a little festival organized by Alpha Beta Gamer on Steam. I discovered some neat stuff through there and maybe you will too!
Dreamsettler, the sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw, has been canceled and some of the developers will need work soon. You can read more about it in this post on BlueSky. Really sad to hear about this one and hoping things improve for everyone there soon.
There were a few games zines this week! ChoiceBeat (Itch.io) is a free zine about interactive fiction and visual novels while Adult Analysis Anthology (Itch.io) is a paid one about adult indie games.
Cell Sword (Steam/Itch.io) is a Descent-inspired by where you fly around inside a human body and blast away at anything threatening it. I enjoyed the demo for the game from a previous fest thing and I also strongly recommend the dev’s previous game Liberation (Steam/Itch.io) if you love open world sci-fi flight sims that have an approachable learning and also love classic British science fiction tv like Blake’s 7.
Tower Wizard (Steam/Itch.io release coming soon) is a short incremental game where you help a wizard construct a giant tower.
Korter 1996 (Steam) is a first-person point-and-click adventure where you explore apartments and solve mysteries. It’s described as an exploration of loneliness through adventure games. The Steam page has a demo too if you want to try it out.
Parallel Experiment (Steam) is a two player cooperative adventure game where each player is a detective that must communicate with the other player to solve puzzles.
Mushroom Musume has been on Itch.io for a while but it just got a Steam release! This is a game where you raise a mushroom spore into a woman and make import decisions that affect her. There’s a demo on the Steam and Itch.io pages.
10S Forever is another game that has been on Itch.io for a while but now has a Steam release. It’s an arcade game described as a Tennis Hell.
the Devil rais’d the storm is the third game this week that was on Itch.io but just got a release on Steam. It’s also ok to just buy games on Itch, where they get a bigger cut from sales. This one is a point-and-click adventure/visual novel where you are at an outpost on a remote planet.
Cast n Chill (Steam) is a cozy fishing game featuring beautiful pixel art where you just relax and fish. No secret horror elements or twists here. You just fish!
Bone Fire Effigy (Itch.io) is a short first-person horror game set in the woods with art inspired by the PS1 aesthetic.
Espirito Delusion (Steam) is a short rpg containing a dungeon full of puzzles and bosses and inspired by Brazilian culture. The Steam page has a demo.
Devil’s Liminal (Steam/Itch.io) is a visual novel in Early Access about a woman that is being hunted by a hungry ghost and two mysterious girls that have shown up claiming they can help her. As you would hope for a game like this, the price for the game is $6.66.
No Way Home (Steam) just looks like a very nice twin-stick shooter that just got a port from mobile platforms. It’s by the folks that made Moving Out 1 and 2.
The River (Steam) is a short point-and-click visual novel about the afterlife featuring some very nice black-and-white art. I discovered this one through a post on Buried Treasure.
Leaving Home (Steam/Itch.io) is a first-person point-and-click adventure where you navigate a series of rooms in an apartment and do puzzles. I recommend watching the trailer because I think it looks very nice in motion.
I would also like to thank Lucas for recommending the recently released games Squeakross: Home Squeak Home (A Picross-like with a mouse), The Explorator (first-person shooter with very nice 2D animated art), Bioysque (horror action rpg), and Autopeli (free driving arcade game in the browser). Always feel free to recommend games by others or your own in the comments!
TTRPGs
Today is Free RPG Day. Check out your local tabletop game store to see what deals and giveaways they’re doing. I also see a lot of folks on social media giving away their games. All of the ttrpgs on my Itch page should have free community copies anyone is welcome to take.
Break Time (Itch.io) is a solo ttrpg based on the show Severance.
The Invisible Labyrinth (Itch.io) is a game for 2-5 players about branching timelines, uncertain futures, and escaping what seems inevitable. It’s a hack of Microscope and I’m Sorry, Did You Say Street Magic. I’m a big fan of Morgan’s games and you should check the rest out on their Itch page like Memoirs of a Barbarian.
Crowdfunding
Take Us North (Kickstarter) is an adventure/survival game by Anima Interactive that follows the journeys of migrants and asylum seekers on their way to cross the US-Mexico border
