In the end the game turned out to have good animation and funny characters. If you try hard you can end the game in just a few minutes. I really hope these minutes will make you laugh and cheer you up!”

“My grandmother is probably the most important person ever to me, as she provided me with the stability and care a child needs growing up. We all have or have had people helping us become a responsible and caring person, and this short narrative game is an ode to these people.”

A silly platformer featuring a roly poly cat. :) I got reminded of this by Super Cat Bros so if you’re into cats it’s been a good weekend.

A father’s soul proposed a trade
And in your passing a weight is lifted
With nothing cured but only shifted

Something a little different today. This is a free short text adventure/interactive fiction that’s about 15 minutes long. It’s got great writing and is probably better experienced without me telling you what it is. Unfortunately it’s kind of hard to show what it is as well, since it’s just text. So to spoil it just a teensy bit if you have any interest in games about mental health, definitely give it a try. If you don’t, it’s still a pretty interesting experience. =)
