Lemma 

developed by Evan Todd.  

“Immersive first-person parkour in a surreal, physics-driven voxel world. 

Lemma enables creative building through movement. Spawn structures just by moving through space. Extend platforms, smash through walls, and build new ones, all through parkour moves.”

The game came out on Steam last week, but was actually in the batch of ten games that I posted on the first day of this blog’s existence, which was about 6 months ago.  You can see it here, though I feel a bit embarrassed to bring it up.  I still hate writing, but maybe a bit less than I did back then.  Feels like forever ago. >.<

Plato: Platonic Play Toy 

developed by Stef Stivala.  

“Think of it as a trippy whack-a-mole reimagined for touch devices.“

Manipulate and turn the ball while touching the right spots which correspond to the colours at the top.  The goal is to finish as fast as you can so as to earn more points, and then challenge yourself on a harder level.

Coming to Android, iOS, PC, and possibly VR.

Unraveled: Tale of the Shipbreaker’s Daughter

developed by RosePortal Games.  

“An adventure RPG, driven by the story of a little girl whose family has gone missing at a ship breaking yard. Based on real events, Unraveled takes you through a child’s imagination as she seeks out her parents.”

“On the little girl’s journey, her plush doll comes to life as a monstrously cute creature that aids her on her quest! However, as she traverses through the ship, the rotting environment takes its toll on the doll and he slowly starts unraveling…”

The game is heavily influenced by “The Wire Nest”, a documentary about the extremely poor living and working conditions of the people in the ship breaking yards in Mumbai, India.  There’s a small collection of videos and info on the living conditions here, if you’re interested in learning more.

I made a little teaser post yesterday, which has a couple extra images.
