A survival(?) life sim game that's pretty cozy, but also has its dark story moments. Babby mouse moved with his(?) parents to the city, where they got jobs in the local mine and were worked do death trying to save up money to return home.

So the young mouse sold off all remaining possessions, made it back to their home in the woods, and found the place completely dilapidated.

So it's foraging, crafting and restoring what remains of his home.

🐿️just found out that those harry potter skins are almost $11??? instead of supporting transphobia, you can support transgender and get our puzzle game on sale for $6.99! I've made a graphic to compare

SPA that emulates the steam storefront, but only shows you unplayed games from your own library and lets you "purchase" them for a dopemine hit

I actually really wanted to back this one on Kickstarter when it was up there, but couldn't afford to. Having finally played the demo, I really enjoyed the style, and the humor of both puzzles and dialogue.

Betty is played as an exaggerated ditzy stereotype, who sometimes has surprisingly insightful and politically savvy things to say.

Puzzle quality? Overall good, but didn't really signal some things particularly well towards the end.

I just learned something that I want to share;

1. Create an invisible box with an outer shadow
2. Create an invisible box with an inner shadow
3. Place randomly...

TA-DA. Free depth in your texture!

When Twitter collapsed, it was great to see the flood of friends, game devs and other come to Mastodon. Over the next 9 months a lot of them vanished to Threads, BlueSky or just left. I want to thank all people who are still on Mastodon and make it a wonderful place. You know who you are.
