It's a new week and with it brings new opportunities to save some coin and play some amazing games! I lost my job last year and it put my finances into chaos. So, I personally know how hard it can be maintaining your hobbies when your bank account isn't cooperating. Which makes these Thrifty Gaming posts even more important, so if like me you are balling on a budget, here are three games under $10 (USD) that you can play right now!

Exciting otome news from Japanese publisher, Voltage Inc. The third installment in the Court of Darkness series, Court of Darkness: Adoration's Kiss is now available on the Nintendo Switch! Court of Darkness (Makai Ouji to Miwaku no Naitomea), launched in 2018 in Japan and celebrated its eighth anniversary in February 2026. The first game in the series, Temptation's Kiss, made its Switch debut in late 2025, followed up by the second installment Captivation's Kiss earlier this year. In the series you take on the role of a heroine who is isekai'd to a magical realm.

In otome games romance is literally the main goal, but in the Japanese indie otome game, Can I Not Fall for Idols? the goal is to not fall in love?! You’ve become the manager of a brand-new idol group—only to find yourself drowning in romance flags from the start! Love with idols is strictly forbidden. Can you survive this chaotic, no-love-allowed romcom—the first of its kind in the otome world!? Japanese developer Mikimaki first released the game last year for PC, before it gained more attention for its inclusion in Steam Next Fest.
