Beautiful, short interactive story made in Melbourne. Likely too twee for a lot of people, but I really like it and am glad it came across from mobile.

Addictive and exciting early access start to a new roguelike. Unique movement & approach to combat are at the heart of this one, which will likely continue to raise the skill ceiling as its develops.

Wonderful settings and cool artstyle is let down by at times painfully average voice acting. Relaxing and intriguing, worth a play if you’re down for a chill exploration game.

Lives up to its name, clocking in around an hour or two, but still quite dense. A minimalist and beautiful artstyle paints a charming little world full of cute characters and great writing.

Cute co-op platform puzzler. Movement is simple making it approachable for people who don’t play a lot of games. Lots of levels… and cute hats.

Cute little couples co-op game. Starts simply enough and is mostly fun throughout, if a little samey throughout the second half with timed and platforming stuff.

Great co-op game requiring concise communication. Cute aesthetic. Good for couples. Improves on almost everything in its predecessor and now includes online mode.

An extraordinary game that breaks most if not all conventions and will constantly surprise and challenge you. A seminal must-play. Best to go in blind.

I really liked Oxenfree and was pretty keen for this… and I did enjoy it, but a lot of the comedy didn’t land with me and at times the pacing was pretty drawn out. Would still recommend though.

Roguelite, deckbuilding, dice-rolling fun. Really clever design that surprisingly works a lot better than you’d think. Presentation belies its complexity at times.
