#AzaPlaysDressmaker it's shockingly good and accessible, i love all the ladies, i highly suspect it's queer, and i'm having so much fun I'll just be showing off my dresses in this thread, "spoilers" in the pics for the kinds of requests & fabrics we get!

I just played this the latest game from @flebpuzzles.bsky.social and had a great time as always, so I wanna shout-out literally all of this creator's games. Short, colourful, wholesome, funny puzzles that never fail to bring a smile to my face (and sometimes a cry of 'oh **** you!' also), most free.

Thank you for the coverage! Our vision of "curiosity games" is definitely close to thinky games, but with a bigger emphasis on narrative, exploration and self-reflection. Also, we're totally not opposed to pure narrative games - hopefully we'll be able to reveal something during the next year :)

I had a lovely time with the demo, I quit playing before completing it because I had already decided that I would want the full game. :-) Sweetening the pot: -that cover art IS what the in-game art looks like -by the creators of Minami Lane -you're trying to figure out what happened to all the cows

020

Aza (gayming) @pokopia @azagayming.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

i had already wishlisted this bc it's by the creators of Minami Lane and very obviously homage-y to Kiki's Delivery Service, and then in the Wholesome Direct the devs said it involves "finding out what happened to all the other cows". so now i've downloaded the demo

Just finished playing through the demo of this game and it is absolutely ducking charming.

hot cozy games take: i don't like "no goals, no management, no stress, just chill vibes 🩵" games. I DO want some direction and sense of progress! At least some interactivity and fun! Apparently for many ppl this is not a problem, lots of fans of decoration-only, but it's a pass for me every time.

Just played Many Nights a Whisper in one sitting, about 90 minutes, a wonderful little exploration of having the power to reshape reality, the limits of morality in doing so and distilling the weight of that expectation into a single moment.
