Toem 2 is out today! I LOVED this game. It has so much charm, character, comedy. It's the perfect game to calm a buzzing brain🖤🖤 store.steampowered.com/app/2900640/...

Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

Well Dweller is a gorgeous game. A very approachable metriodvania with the most incredible atmosphere. I expected nothing less from the same dev who made Crypt Custodian. store.steampowered.com/app/3699590/...

I don't think my brain has fully recovered from finishing Roman Sands RE:Build. It's the equivalent of downing a redbull and then crushing the can into your forehead (in a good way)

Can't wait to play Virture and a Sledgehammer. Fully expecting it to be a GOTY contender for me. The demo was exceptional ahhh Deconstructeam × Selkie Harbour continue to be a powerful combo 🔨💔

I have an unconventional solution to the loneliness crisis and the erasure of third spaces...

Marketing graphic for Nintendo Streetpass on the 3DS. It shows white stick figures going about their days and the two in the middle are walking away from each other, one has a tote bag the other a briefcase. It shows 3DSes in their bags and green arrows forming a circle between the people. At the bottom is two 3DSes doing a wireless communication thing between them.

In Big Walk, puzzle solving is not a solitary act, but one shared with friends in a wonderfully memorable way. Puzzle solving is used to create a feeling of togetherness, and that is beautiful! My take for @thinkygames.com✨️ thinkygames.com/features/big...

Maseylia - Wishlist on Steam @solbrothers.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I don't know if people realize how valuable retweeting indie developers is. It can add 100s of wishlists to an indie game, which can accumulate to mean the difference between a developer being able to finish a game and forcing them back into a 9 to 5 job. Maseylia is now Out on Steam! Thanks all :)
