The Wormaid
Short and sweet game about finding multiple space-filling paths through a variety of interestingly-constrained rooms while enjoying pleasant conversation with a few statuesque companions and their not so statuesque King.

Good game.
Relaxing puzzles that connected me to my subconscious problem solving.
Especially delightful in the harder rooms where the solution is not obvious to your rational self but you somehow “feel” the solution.

Ochitsubaki
A fallen camellia is a beheading, every time, every petal falling at once: a severing.

OCHITSUBAKI || 落ち椿 is a visual novel about the impossibility of translating trauma. It is a bilingual JPN/ENG game about translation and how it can run as deeply as the way hypermarginalized people constantly “translate” their identities and trauma for the understanding of others, no matter how far it is from the source material. It’s about recovering from trauma through the genuine compassion and consideration of another person, who manages to See the aftereffects of trauma and are willing to meet that person’s unique needs, regardless of if they “understand” them or not.
Ochitsubaki is only loosely a visual novel, which is to say it is a story-based game with a strong aesthetic component. Ochitsubaki has a deep, rich tapestry of aesthetics in unifying modern elegance with unique retro anime-inspired character portraits. The original soundtrack derives inspiration from traditional Asian pentatonic scales, particularly but not limited to Japanese ones, that also derive a modern, Genshin’s Liyue-type twist that sets it firmly in contemporary times. It has three language options: JPN, ENG, and JPN translation. The ENG/JPN versions are two different renditions of the story, thus requiring a separate JPN translation, emulating what happens when you try to translate something as complex as identity. You can consider that the only real choice you make in the game is which language to play it in, and each language option provides a different “route,” a similar but very distinctly different iteration of the story. The language modes mimic the powerful loss that happens when stories–when trauma–is translated.
The demo only contains the first two ENG chapters, an estimated 30-45min of playtime.

Hanashiro (he/she/they) and their few remaining kin all react differently to the trauma of being immortal and witnessing the apocalypse over and over again in different cycles of reincarnation. Shiragiku is unfazed and cheery and flippant and whimsical and capricious; Shirayuri is nowhere to be found; and Hanashiro? Hanashiro is planning on their death in 10 years, when the camellias fall, if they cannot find a reason to live by then.
Hanashiro and Shirayuri have witnessed THE END OF THE WORLD before. But no one believed them. Shiragiku has seen many, many apocalypses, but she has never been hurt by any one after the first. Shiragiku has remembered every single end; Shirayuri has remembered none; and Hanashiro only remembers some. Which? Even he doesn’t know.
Hanashiro misses speaking her fey mother tongue, but she can’t seem to find anyone willing to listen to her, not even her own kind. And then she makes an enemy who just might. Their name is Lun Kochouran.
And they might be the first one in a millennium to learn the Amayuri tongue.
They also might be the first to kill an immortal.

BLACKBODY THEORY OF MOTION
This game is still in early stages, but it is addictive and genuinely scary.
There are some much-needed improvements, including
-
Better controls for up/down, a function to reset to the “normal” plane where most asteroids are located,
-
View distance that doesn’t look unnatural (now the objects just spawn out of blackness),
-
Saves,
-
Goals, achievements,
-
Softer sounds, current ones are way too harsh.

Very weird, creepy, and disturbing. As soon as I got used to what was going on, something new appeared to feel uneasy. Simple yet effective.

SCP Strategy
SCP Strategy is a very fun game, I have had an idea similar for awhile, so im very happy to see it a reality! It is fun to create, name, and control your own MTF units, or Foundation sites, and even make your own SCPS! Though right now it is a bit lacking on the content end, as more people discover and buy the game the more progress can be done on it.
I have a few suggestions down below:
GOI’s: GOIS (Groups of Interest) are groups that interact with the Foundation, and Anomalies. Some famous ones include the Chaos Insurgency, Serpents hand, Global Occult Coalition, Unusual Incidents Unit and some more. Perhaps you could even make Custom GOIS with custom behaviors! Having GOIS to compete with would spice up gameplay, Perhaps you would have to send MTF units away from an SCP to intercept a Chaos Insurgent or Serpents hand Convoy from reaching one of your sites, or an MTF Unit to destroy a CI camp. Perhaps you can sell Objects to the GOC, they will pay you, but the Object is permanently destroyed, and you lose Research points. The UIU could provide Units and sites for a rental system, if you got the money. New Research like MTF unit specialization would be cool, you could research tech to make your E-11 better at Combat, or faster at containing. Perhaps you would lose if the Chaos Insurgency or SH got strong enough. Just some fun ideas.

This game is pretty much glorified whack a mole. There’s no real strategy to the game because there’s no real danger. Just pay your employees minimum wage and charge the nations just under max price and you’ll get all the achievements with ease. When orange lights pop up on the map, send a unit to search it. That’s the entirety of the game play.
When I saw SCP attached to the game, I had some hope that there would be something cool about it. Unfortunately the only real link to SCP the game has is that you research found SCP’s to get points and read about the SCP you captured. That’s it. That’s the entire connection. The research is either done automatically on a timer, or you play 1 of 2 minigames that have absolutely nothing to do with SCP (one where you match a set of waves, and another that it just a ripoff of every “click the thing before it touches the object” flash game every beginning programming student has ever turned in as a school project), and don’t enhance the experience at all. If you’re a fan of SCP, you might as well just go read the webpage, because that’s all you’ll do with SCP’s in game.

Lantern Light VR
Was rather enjoying this, but then it crashed twice in the space of 15 minutes an didn’t save my progress either time, necessitating a restart.

This is the best archery game for Virtual Reality ever made. It’s so obvious. Don’t bother with Quiver, or The Lab, or what’s the main one? Holopoint. Don’t bother. Lantern Light Vr with it’s spot on aesthetic and fantastical back story will have you hooked from the get go. I know what you’re thinking. “byteframe, you just played this for 45 seconds and are giving it a positive review because it was given to you for free via the curator program.” Go to hell, you lie! I love this game!
! I believe on of the characters might be a trickster, be careful. https://youtu.be/XA2jJjKN1CY

This is the most Trippy VR experience out there right now…. Excellent space face melting music… Better than I expected… Worth it and I want to do it again….

A lot better than I thought it would be!
Yeah I’ll be honest, I was looking for a trippy VR app to space out to whilst under the influence - and from the screenshots I thought “this will do”.
But actually - the sound design, the physics collisions, the way it ran.. overall it totally exceeded my expectations, had my synapses firing all over the shop with thoughts / memories and ideas.
Highly recommended - if you enjoy this would also suggest Art Plunge, Air Car, Ayahuasca, Conscious Existence and Sheaf Together
