The House of Da Vinci (Multi, XP'd on PC) An explosion rocks the tower after a guard gives you a note from Leonardo. Follow his trail and uncover the secrets before it's too late.
Back to the thinky pain games, this time with more of a hidden object type game. Find and open hidden panels, unlock doors, manipulate and combine objects you find to create tools, etc.
Nice setting for this one, Renaissance Italy is always a cool place to check out, and traipsing through Leo's inventions and notes is good fun.
It's a lot of pointing and clicking on PC, which by the end does feel a bit repetitive, especially when you're stuck going back and forth several times between 2 locations to solve a puzzle. Feels a bit like padding, tbh.
Still, it's only 10 hours to complete with 100% achieves which is not that bad. It's pretty straightforward, and there's a hint system if you do get stuck.

Seems to be mostly meant for dual-screen devices, but works on just about everything. I've got it installed on my Retroid Pocket Classic, and it'll likely be replacing ES-DE on there. Cross-platform desktop support is planned so I'm hoping for a Linux version at some point!

No company does appropriate mental health review, let alone design. Most of the more common tech choices in #social, #gaming, and #consumer portal design are quite intentionally leaning on and into known dark patterns for lack of any regulation against it.

I've lived in that trench 30 years and no, they do not, nor will they want to, so they only do what is mandate and play plausible deniability/ignorant until then.

For many this is an active tactic. 🪔

nophenia (PC) Wander through the dreams(?) of a wolf girl.
Taking a break from the thinky pain games with nophenia, which showed up in my Steam discovery queue and I thought "well that's odd looking" and just bought it on a whim. I don't really want to say too much about this game(?) as it's another one of those things you just kinda have to experience.
Functionally, it's a low poly 3rd person walking sim in which you traverse some surreal landscapes. You have an early 2000s flip phone you should check often. You can howl.
I'm not even sure I've seen an ending for this game. After a while (which is dependent on how much you want to wander around each area) you are just back to the title screen. I have 100%-ed it, achievement wise, which took me 108 minutes (the last 4 took about 20 mins).
This kinda felt like playing an existential crisis? IDK, it's just different, and I like experiencing different things. Fully enjoyed my time with this one and it's less than the price of a cup of coffee these days, which I felt was an entirely fair price. Do recommend.
