My secret indie game list!
This time I’m going to be brave and boldly recommend a few games I played from Itch.io’s website, which is a platform for games of all kinds, that were quite the find. Also, since it’s an independent game platform, some of them are payed but most are free, with that said, it would be kind to donate to the developers if you find some game that gave a nice experience to motivate them to keep building for us. Some If not most of the games I’ll be showing are visual novels or rpg maker games but I guarantee there other types and other genders of media there if you look for it. With that said, lets begin with…:
Stop Burying Me Alive Beautiful! – By Angela He
This game is the juice of visual novel romances and cards play with rats under the ground. I’m not going to explain this sentence. So basically, you are being buried by your girlfriend cause she thinks you are dead, now you gotta convince her you are not before you are seven palms under the ground. There are multiple endings and two love interests. Many choices and fancy rats looking for some new meat. What I find nice about this game is how it balances the tension between all your objectives in the graveyard, from over the ground to middle and bellow, I don’t wanna give any spoilers, just go play it, it’s free but consider donating since Angela does very beautiful games.
Hello Charlotte Episode 1: Junk Food, Gods and Teddy Bears – By etherane
This one is so complex I’m actually just going to copy the description from the website;
Junk Food, Gods and Teddy Bears is the first installment of Hello Charlotte series and etherane's first game, released in 2015. It's a story about a memory of long-gone gods and loss of individuality, where your Puppet's new friend goes missing among the static.
At the beginning you are Seth, a puppeteer given the responsibility of taking care of the puppet child called Charlotte, You are supposed to guide her in her world, you should keep her safe, or not. It’s difficult. This is one of those kinds of games that makes you dive deep into it, that it’s best played when you don’t know anything. Aside from the first game you also have Episode 2: Requiem Aeternam Deo, 3: Childhood’s End, Delirium and Heaven’s Gate. The game is also available on Steam but I Should want you it’s very heavy and requires a tough stomach. So aside from the cute design this isn’t for minors.
Stuck in a Yandere Visual Novel HELP!! – by pumpkin spike
After playing a visual novel featuring only yandere love interests, our protagonist wakes up as the main character of the game! As much as he loves the archetype, he really doesn't want to end up dead... Can you help him survive his suitors?
Oh my god how I fucking laughed with this one, this is specific for yandere or dark romance fandom, if you love the kind of dangerous romance but also isekai and visual novels you will love this one, it’s partially voice acted and has a bunch of endings, even some secret ending and lore if you are invested but seriously the voice acting adds a lot to the fun, the main character keeps gasping and screaming at things that scare him, the art is extravagant in colors so it’s cute on the eye too, anyway, it’s fun, play it!
Well after so much mind work with argumentations, caring and survival we now need some therapy don’t we? Have you heard of Dr. Albert Krueger? That’s the next game.
