Never Alone 

developed by Upper One Games.  

I quite enjoyed playing through this recently.  I really liked the atmosphere and the main characters (the story was rather anticlimactic to me), and kind of just wanted to hang out with my fox most of the time.  Hence. I decided to make a bunch of GIFs of us relaxing in various spots.

As you can see, we went to the beach, went swimming, and even had time to go to a musical concert. ;)

I uploaded the higher resolution versions to an imgur album, which makes it a bit easier to see the owls bopping their heads to the music.  

I did a bit of searching to see what kind of Never Alone GIFs were on Tumblr already, and I came across this awesome illustration by Abigail L. Dela Cruz (“hyamei”) which kinda sums up what I like about the game.

RIOT 

developed by Leonard Menchiari, Jendrik Illner, & Simon Michel.  

A ‘riot simulator’ based on historical conflicts in Egypt, Spain, Greece, and Italy.  It includes a level editor which allows players to create and share their own scenarios.  

“As civil crisis deepens and inequality tears the very fabric of society the discontentment of the masses manifests itself in violent public disturbances and civil disorder. Play as the police or the angry horde as RIOT – Civil Unrest places you in some of the world’s most fractious disputes.

RIOT – Civil Unrest presents the player with the opportunity to experience both sides of the fight – a fight in which there really are no winners. Who is right and who is wrong?”
