Beacon This is an enjoyable twinstick roguelite. You have two active use items, a grenade, two weapons, a dash attack, and whatever passives you've collected. The weapons and items have a pleasing variety and humorous flavor text. The real standout feature of this game is the genetic mutations. You collect strands of DNA, socket them in, and if you're lucky you get cool mutations with mechanical effects upon sequencing instead of just stat boosts. My current character has a flaming skull, four claws that I use to burrow through the ground instead of dashing, and some kind of gas bladder that adds to my HP at the cost of slowing me down. The art style and sound design are pleasing. The one drawback for me is that the levels are a little too complex and vertical for my liking. I just want to loot and shoot. Sometimes you have to do something counter-intuitive like dive several screens down to hit a jump pad that propels you to the very top of the level, or find a side area to deactivate a forcefield or deploy a bridge. Overall it's worth trying and it's fun to see what kind of shambling horror your character will turn into.

Thanks to everyone for posting, you're helping us all find great games we would have missed. I give a special thanks to The 7th Guest and Samuringa for their excellent lists! 2064: Read Only Memories was just added. You play as an investigative journalist in a cyberpunk setting. The gameplay is a mix between a visual novel and a point and click adventure game. I like the pixel art. The soundtrack reminds me of a Roland keyboard I owned in the 90's and I find that endearing.

StarkRavingMad posted:Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and the Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist - some of the best guard patrol AI I've seen in a game, the sequence with the car and the grappling hook is amazing, and the Tiger is incredibly animated. Short but worth it.

Sleeveless posted:The head of the developer of Read Only Memories and his replacement were both ousted for various #MeToo and labor issues, considering the cause this charity fundraiser is supposed to be for it's kind of weird that they signal boosted a game with such toxic developers. But hey, if you wanted to play a mediocre Snatcher knockoff where furries are a persecuted minority now you can do it without actually giving them money.  Cojawfee posted:Also, can the OP be updated with info on how to use the itch app with this bundle? If you click download and then add to a collection, it then adds the game to your library. Then you can just open the app, look at your library and then click install. Kind of annoying, but at least you don't have to deal with 1200 games being in your library.

Oh my god Astrolgaster is fantastic. The sets are made out of paper scenery inside a pop up book and the art direction is very strong. When you turn a page to progress everything collapses and folds open properly. The game is filled with lovely renaissance music complete with witty lyrics. You're a 16th century English doctor that just survived the plague. You use astrology and archaic medicine to bullshit your way through counseling clients with multiple choice selections. The voice acting is good and the dialogues capture the feeling of a stage play, with each turned page leading to a new scene. It's very relaxing and enjoyable to soak in.

credburn posted:Is this "The Guide to Classic Graphic Adventures" the one put out by Harcore Gaming 101? I bought that and was rather disappointed. It's a massive book with images and essays about hundreds of these games which is great, but every single entry is a first draft at best. Typos, run-on sentences, weird grammar at places, and a lot of like, and tons of aphorisms. It reads like sixteen year-old me was the main contributor.

Death and Taxes is a short game where you're Death as an office bureaucrat. You'll be given profiles on some subjects, choose who lives and dies, and see what happens the next day. There's some basic criteria in the style of Papers, Please but the whole thing is much easier and humorous. You can unlock secret storylines and endings by ignoring instructions and watching chaos unfold. There are dialogues with your boss and fellow office workers. I laughed when an unspecified office disaster forced me to decide the fate of plants for a day.
