Bottle of Sickness
Developed by HanoiAnalog
It's a short first-person horror game where you work at an android maintenance shop and do what you're told, while dealing with your subconscious playing tricks on you.
Jesus christ, im sorry, stay safe darkfry :(
Distracting myself from horrifying news with a big Next Fest demo dive:
Starting with Zleepi, a fun 'speedrunning with weird movement' platformer from a bunch of A Hat In Time modders.
You've no jump button. Instead, you can hit the ground/walls with a PVC pipe to launch yourself the other way.
Just going through SteamDB to see if there were any real deep-cut indie gems I missed, and I stumble upon Terminal Lucidity. A very polished looking sci-fi horror adventure with a lot of command-line shenanigans.
100% positive user reviews, and it's apparently a full-length game. And it's FREE.
You should watch this video because it's the good:tm: evergreen horror games coverage we all love, and less importantly one of my favourite thumbnail jobs in a while ๐
I bet i could look sooo good in a lab coat
Wanna think about 2025 some more? My long overdue Favourites vid is OUT NOW!!!

Ask and you shall recieve! A quick look at @troopsushi.bsky.social's DownSouth, currently looking for support on Kickstarter. An action-packed platformer where your actions have concequences ๐

New video is live on Nebula RIGHT NOW!!
What is a Jewish video game? Let's talk about it. nebula.tv/videos/jacob...
Not reading the article for spoiler reasons but this is the first ive heard of this game and wow that looks good
Thank you to everyone who has already given the video a look. This might be the first video I've made without any cursing or crude jokes, and it was a real challenge, so the response and comments have been nice.
Hey! I'm Julie! Writer, consultant, designer. If you need a writer for a project, or a consultant to take a look at a game, I am open for contract work! Let me know. I've worked on titles like Silent Hill 2 Remake, Signalis, and 1000xResist, and I made one of Paste's favorite games of 2024.
Shared this really tough news last week. Here's the list of impacted folks. If you're at a game studio with open roles, please take a look and let us know if we can make any intros. These are all great devs and we want to help them find new jobs ASAP.

Well, that was an easy back, this looks incredible! Getting shades of Rintaro's Metropolis from this, which is no small praise.
its my 25th birthday today just sayin
Timey Wimey Big Sad
I can feel the scope creep creep
If you think that Yokoyama image that's going around is absolutely wild, I highly encourage you to go read more of his interview quotes in the last few years for a rollercoaster of a ride. And if you REALLY want to be even MORE confused, go check out interviews from 10-15 years ago.
depression is awesome because i can literally drink two coffees with 200 mg of caffeine to get ready for morning meetings and still feel obligated to nap during my lunch hour instead of eating food
A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.
i'm gonna say this with my whole chest ; nothing beats reading physically oh my fucking god man
Yoo this looks sick
one of my main Problems is that i struggle to distinguish between the genuine, important Need To Rest and the malign, deadening Urge To Do Nothing
Ah would you look at that? A cool game for even less than a fiver...
