games

Remembered I was playing 20 Small Mazes (excellent and free!) and was halfway through. Finished two quick mazes this morning. Been playing Word Play as well, I'm a sucker for word-based games. I often play Waffle and Bongo over at Puzzmo which are two good free ones.

Every time I open up Lutris I realize I have Dog of Dracula 2 (free cyperpunk parody of Blade Runner and the like, you're a vampire dog...for some reason, I don't know) which is pretty good from the hour I've played, so I'll probably be playing that tonight sometime.

The other game that I might install and play tonight is The Wreck a visual novel exploring themes of grief, depression and family relationships. I played through the first hour some time ago and really liked it, but it was another game that got put on the backburner.

There is also the intriguing Social Democracy: Petrograd 1917 in which is set after the overthrow of the Tsar in 1917 Russia, you can help several parties attain power (including the Bolsheviks) and play out how each party being in power changes the scope of history. I haven't gotten around to it because it seems quite daunting, it's old-school style text-based interactive fiction, so it's basically a choose-your own Russian history adventure. I'll get around to it sometime, I just don't think it'll be tonight lol. If anyone is interested there it is free on itch.io and there is a browser version if you don't want to download the files and a IF parser.
