Finding niche games
and purusing Itch.io for little-known, personally released games with the most abstract, fascinating concepts. Pictured above, I have my top favorite games on the platform. From left to right is 'Therapy with Dr. Albert Krueger', 'Vincent: The Secret of Myers', 'Perfect Love', and 'Magenta'. If you are familar with any of these, you may find that I have a very specific taste when it comes to what I play. If you are unfamilar with them...I suppose you'll have to change that. Or don't! These kinds of games are not for everyone, and while I do recommend them, they may contain content that is disturbing to certain viewers. Trigger warnings will be listed at the bottom!
