Heya folks, here's a 2nd, and final, short featuring Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. So, this one is a little better than it seems early in the game, it just takes forever to get interesting. I'll write up a review in the morning. #amnesiaamachineforpigs #videogames #indiegames #horrorgames #shorts

Heya folks, here's a 1st short featuring Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. So, last night I decided that since it's officially spooky month today, I'd play some horror games that I have yet to complete starting with this one. #amnesiaamachineforpigs #videogames #indiegames #horrorgames #shorts

Heya folks, here's a short featuring Etrian Odyssey HD. I beat this one back in April, but it's another game I didn't do a First # for. I'm also using my personal Borderless Gaming preset, like usual. #etrianodysseyhd #videogames #retrogames #dungeoncrawler #shorts #gameplay

Heya folks, here's a short featuring the indie horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I finally beat this game earlier this year, but I didn't do a First # video for it at the time. So, I figured I'd get it out of the way. #amnesiathedarkdescent #videogames #indiegames #horrorgames #shorts

Heya folks, here's a 1st short featuring an indie 2D space sim called Starcom: Nexus. Some of you may remember that I played through the sequel, Unknown Space, earlier this year. Decided to replay this game last night since I'm in a space sim mood. #starcomnexus #videogames #indiegames #shorts

Heya folks, here's a 2nd short featuring Rune Factory 5. So, the 2nd boss is defeated and tbh... the boss fights in this game are laughable at best so far... I'm playing on normal and it feels like "Baby's First Rune Factory" it's so easy. #runefactory5 #videogames #rpg #shorts #gameplay

Heya folks, here's a short featuring the playtest for Legend of Defenders, an upcoming incremental tower defense game This one was a request, and it took over 2h to reach this point in the demo. It honestly kinda reminds me of CastleStorm #legendofdefenders #videogames #indiegames #shorts #gameplay

Heya folks, here's a 1st short featuring the Xbox Series X version of Aniimo. So, I decided to try out this game last night and the best way I can describe it is "Genshin Pokemon", cause it feels like a combination of those two games. #aniimo #videogames #creaturecollector #gameplay #shorts

Heya folks, here's a 1st short featuring Rune Factory 5. I've defeated the first boss in the game, and it was surprisingly simple. Also decided to use a spear in this game. Can't say I'm overly fond of him wielding it like an axe, though... #runefactory5 #videogames #rpg #shorts #gameplay
