This was a very well-meaning game that should have been a documentary or a kid’s show or something, because it was a terrible platformer with possibly the worst control layout I’ve ever experienced. Road to hell is paved, etc etc.

Mimpi
I’m on vacation, but while I put off finishing the Higurashi conclusion, y’all should check out Mimpi, an absolutely adorable little platformer about a cute pupper trying to find their human. Everything about it is endearing, and it’s nice to see a game with a built-in hint system so all the puzzles are actually solvable. Check it out!
(Semi-related: is there any interest in a DQ Steam Curator account?)
QuickPans: Steam Winter Sale Edition
I wrote my entire Baldur’s Gate/Planescape post only to have my browser crash and lose it, so you’re getting this instead. Fuck everything. I’m going to go cry in the corner.
It was once again that glorious time of year where you could get 47 games for $3.50, and I have to say, I’m getting better at vetting games for myself. I ended up with tons of great stuff this year, three mediocre games, and the two I really didn’t like were things y’all subjected me to.
There is an upcoming Recs post that will accompany this one.
Inside: Karma Miwa, Forgotten Not Lost, We Know the Devil, Limbo, Always the Same Blue Sky

Christmas Steam Games 2018: QuickRecs
Our sacred holiday tradition continues! I got so many this year that we get to divide this into recs and pans. Most of these are puzzle games; I suppose those are the ones that go for cheap.
Inside: Hollow Knight, Recursed, Ittle Dew 2, The Dweller, Zasa: An AI Story, NO THING, Quell, Qbik, Reveal the Deep.
I also got Hue, which Act already reviewed. It is wonderful and I second her recommendation.
