Recommendation: read this with your phone on horizontal or else images will get squished. Recomendación: Lee esto con tu teléfono en horizontal o las imágenes estarán deformadas. English I may keep this one short because I'm in a HURRY (after writing the whole thing I can say I lied). I might have jammed this month too much, again (history repeats itself with Spooktober)😊I could wait till September ends to post all the new games BUT nay, will just post for each game the devlog and then if anyone cares the info's up.

Due to changes in the policy on itch. io, I've made a carrd in order to link games that were affected. Some games include Kid at the Back, Your guardian angel, YOU and HIM, Duplicity and more. The carrd is linked below: 18andupgames.carrd.co #YOUandHIM #TKATB #Duplicity #YourGuardianAngel

Here is a log of games that were delisted from itch.io with explicit permissions to share links given from the creators of said games.

Unfortunately with new changes implimented into itch .io, my game has now been delisted from the site (as if it wasnt hard enough for us indie devs). So I'm sharing the link and asking this post be liked, shared etc to get word out. Thank you 💙 unknown-hermit.itch.io/you-and-him-...
