Fe - NG012

New Game 012:  Fe

I'm not entirely sure what is going on here.  But dang is it beautiful.  The visuals and the audio are both truly beautiful.  As the player, you take on the role of a fox like creature who interacts with the environment and other animals through song.  It's truly an interesting and beautiful experience.

Papers, Please - NG011

New Game 011:  Papers, Please

If you have any feelings, this game will most likely make you regret them.  This is a game about stamping (or not) entry visas.  The stories that the immigrants tell can pull at your heart strings, but ultimately, you have a family and a crappy job to protect.  So you stamp DENIED anyway, even though your heart tells you APPROVED.

Teslagrad - NG009

New Game 009:  Teslagrad

I tried out Teslagrad for the first time yesterday.  It's a lovely platformer with beautiful artwork, excellent soundtrack and some neat puzzles.

Uurnog Uurnlimited - NG010

New Game 010:  Uurnog Uurnlimited

I got to play this game on the Nintendo Switch yesterday at GDC.  I enjoyed the platforming mixed with some puzzles.  And the soundtrack was beautiful.  Apparently the soundtrack is algorithmically based, so it can adapt to gameplay quite well.

Russian Subway Dogs - NG008

New Game - 008:  Russian Subway Dogs

I met one of the developers of this awesome game yesterday at the Game Developer's Conference.  It's inspired by the true life story of the Moscow's stray dogs riding the metro looking for food.  The central mechanic is collecting food from the metro riders and trying to stay alive as long as possible.

Sacramento - NG007

New Game - 007:  Sacramento

Sacramento is a beautiful, surreal, and amazing experience.  I hesitate to call it a game in the mainstream/typical sense.  However, I feel like it is an impressive piece of interactive art, in the best way.

Into the Breach - NG006

New Game - 006:  Into the Breach

Into the Breach has been called Kaiju Chess by some.  I think it is an appropriate moniker.  This is a turn-based combat game in which you control three weapons protecting the public from a variety of gigantic insects.  All of the enemy's movements are decided one turn ahead of execution, which creates a very rich tactical strategy experience.
