In friendslop, live social interaction is much more important than gameplay or game art, which is sometimes deliberately minimalist. The games are often played for laughs and offer a chaotic or wacky experience with unpredictable shared moments. This makes them unsatisfying to play alone even if it's possible.

To take back his already stolen throne, VValak has his eyes set on Earth, and not in a good way (obviously). Here's our full review.

Service With a Shotgun is one of those rare indie games that feels like a fever dream, equal parts clever, absurd, charming, and occasionally rough around the edges. Developed by solo creator Nolyn Vansyckle and released on Steam in November 2025, this hybrid experience refuses to fit neatly into any one genre. It’s part visual novel, part wave-based shooter, and wholly committed to satirising the mundanity of retail work … even as the world literally collapses around you.
