Here’s hoping you like frantically paced games because this week has a duo of games ready for you that will test just how fast you can think. First up is Wilmot’s Warehouse, the tale of a warehouse worker dealing with… Continue Reading →
Every few months I like to take some time to feature some awesome non-gaming content. Yes itch.io is mostly a site for video games, but that’s far from the only thing we host. There are comics, albums, art assets, and… Continue Reading →
I hope you love games with distinct artstyles because that’s we’ve got two of them ready and waiting for you. Each is a little different — one is a gross dungeon crawler, and the other is a cute friendship-simulator– but… Continue Reading →
My praise for Zachtronics’ Eliza seems to know no bounds. I wrote in my recommendation on Tuesday, “Eliza stands as one of the best written games I’ve played this year.” It’s a game that has really sat with me for… Continue Reading →
When you boot up a new game, you never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes it’s a wacky arcade romp, other times it’s a personal narrative experience. This week’s recommendations mirror this duality. One game is a mature look… Continue Reading →

If you regularly read the itch.io Recommends posts every week you likely remember Elsinore , a game about Ophelia from Hamlet trying to solve her way out of a time loop. I ended up really enjoying my time with the… Continue Reading →
This week’s recommendations are an unlikely duo. One is a tense exploration of faith and cults, the other is about chilling out in the woods. See what I mean? The thing that unites them both is just how good they… Continue Reading →
It’s not every day you see a game launch with Red and Blue versions so when I saw Can Androids Pray I was immediately intrigued. What followed was an intense narrative experience that I ended up enjoying enough to feature… Continue Reading →
It’s a unique week for our weekly recommendations post. This week we’ve toiled away and would like to present to you, the itch.io community, the fruits of our labor. This week we’re getting Shakespearean, looking at a game that slipped… Continue Reading →
Running this blog comes with its fair share of responsibilities. What should we cover, what shouldn’t we cover, which games need the coverage? All of this sets us up for a complicated balancing act. With that in mind, I want… Continue Reading →
