Its been a while since I've watched someone that see games as actual pieces of art and not just focusing on gameplay. The weird quirky games that people make in their own lonesome are always the best. <br><br>Also congrats on 10k Pov!

No shot my little Fowl Legacy made it into this video, wow! Thank you for the very smooth recommendation! (I'll check out the other games too lmao the whole video is a goldmine)

Can't count how many times I've gone to places asking for JRPG recommendations and having to go "I already have an interest in the genre so I would appreciate things that are below surface level" and get something like "Yes hello have you heard of this niche early nineties title for the SNES called Chrono Trigger?"

Doing a combo review/promotion video for a bunch of small indie games during the Steam Summer Sale is both a brazen attempt to sabotage the success of small studios like Bethesda selling Starslop at 50% off or indie darling Skyrim at 75% off, and also a highly based effort to promote games with a lot of love put in but little love recieved back.<br><br>Appreciate the effort to make smooth-yet-also-dad-jokey transtions between each title, each time I smiled, winced, or both

Webbed is a cute 2d side scroller game where you play as a spider trying to save your husband

I just want to thank you, i was looking for something good and all these games look good, but the one the caught my attention immediately was OATH, and man, i LOVED everything about it, the ambience, the subtle almos cryptic storytelling that feels so personal, that’s the kind of stuff i love. I tough that it would be a 1 to 3 hours game max, but i ended up playing it for 21 hours. Such an amazing game.

I recognised TWWWR's artstyle from another game by the dev, rusted moss.<br><br>It's not as niche at 1,168 reviews, but I really enjoyed it and it's definitely worth checking out.
