A fun 3D platforming adventure where you meet other animals, go on little quests, but mostly cause trouble. I ended up playing the whole thing over two days, and it was one of those games where you want to do everything before it's over. The story is light and sweet, the chaos doesn't feel too mean, and all the characters you meet are really well-done. The chameleon is of course a fave, and I love how completely straight it plays a spacetime-bending tanuki. No questions asked.

I worked on one of the tools used in this game, so I was given a key via some colleagues (thanks so much). But I was going to buy it anyway. Super fun!

This is such a beautifully crafted game. The art, the music, the stories helping townsfolk are all perfect. It manages to be such a relaxing and satisfying time to just set your shop up nice and wait for people to come enjoy it, or to gear up extra to give a bunch of recommendations if you wanna. I expected to have a brief cozy time with this game, and was only more pleased to see in discussion and the achievements list that it is actually truly massive. I can't wait to learn every little thing Bookstonbury has to offer.

A super fun time loop puzzler that lends itself perfectly to short play sessions and comic chaos. I adore this game, and I've had such a great time getting lost and distracted that I bet it will take me a long while yet to finish!

The art is beautiful, the sound design is lovely, the puzzle mechanics are intuitive but used in creatively challenging ways. My only wish is that you could save tool recipes between runs.

A seriously fun little sandbox where you play a small UFO that can steal, scorch, enlarge or wield things to either help or create chaos in unsuspecting countryside locations. The design is polished, and the dialogue is as funny as the gameplay. I played the heck out of it!

A thoughtful story about returning home to a town which has both changed too much and too little, just like you have. Creepy undertones I think made me expect there would be more of the cultist conspiracy plotline than there ended up being, but the story was the friends we connected with on the way.

I really enjoyed this game. It's a little light on context but the light puzzling in beautiful settings in a floating spirit world is delightful. The mechanics were intuitive - even if I did walk through a portal just to fall straight into the void a few times like an idiot - and the game is overall very polished in its UX, visuals, sound design and more.

This game is hilarious. The gameplay is fun, the setup is snappy, the premise is silly, and every weird thing in town is played completely straight whether it makes sense or not. A perfect game.

A short and sweet story with just a few characters and locations but a super amount of polish. I loved it, especially the portrait flipping during conversation - it really made the serious moments feel more intimate.

Bizzare and beautiful, this game has so much going on. With every location and every character, I wanted to know more... but the mystery made it better. I was totally rapt with it from beginning to end, through moments bizarre, creepy, funny and touching. I can't wait to see what the developers do next!

This game manages to perfectly balance the feeling of a hectic, messy, passionate life as portrayed in the story of Gordy and Co. with gameplay that is structurally low-pressure and thoughtfully designed. The story is in equal parts funny and stressful - yet another game showing a defining factor of young adulthood is being constantly broke! - and the diversity of themes and visuals and fun minigames does a great job of punctuating the often serious themes of conversation around it. All the good things it says on the tin: unapologetically feminist, punk and messy, demon-themed but in a way that felt totally natural. I really enjoyed it, I played it through the first time in one sitting, and the music is still stuck in my head.
