Edmund Harrt is looking for "the corpsetalker", a government-sponsored sorcerer rumored to have past connections to Edmund's late employer. Edmund thinks he has little to offer in exchange, but he's curious. Will the simple act of appealing for help bring peace to a kind woman's family?

Ash Simmons is a man who excels at getting himself into extraordinary trouble. He is better known for helping people understand the problems they got into themselves. When a delightfully nosy and surprisingly disarming stranger shows up to reconnect him to old friends, he has a blast doing both in own unique way.

How will their first eventful evening together end?

  • Short story around 5k words
  • Dark-fantasy romance with comedic drama
  • Historically based queerness (M/M main characters)
  • Easygoing choices (with the third affecting the ending)
  • Includes a quick minigame / interactive activity

That's the one I was thinking of. It's a slow process, but it does happen.

It seems like an insane step backwards to throw away hybrids for ICEs, even road car manufacturers are starting to acknowledge that its a technological dead-end. I don't care how much they can claim the fuel is "sustainable", it's hard to see past the fact that the main sponsors are still oil companies.

The hairy frog is also notable in possessing retractable "claws", which it may project through the skin, apparently by intentionally breaking the bones of the toe.[5] These are not true claws, as they are made of bone, not keratin. In addition, there is a small bony nodule nestled in the tissue just beyond the frog's fingertip. When sheathed, each claw is anchored to the nodule with tough strands of collagen. When the frog is grabbed or attacked, it breaks the nodule connection and forces the sharpened bones through the skin.[6][7] Although a retraction mechanism is not known, it has been hypothesized that the claws later retract passively, while the damaged tissue is regenerated.

This type of natural weaponry appears to be unique in the animal kingdom, although the Otton frog possesses a similar "spike" in its thumb.[8] An alternative hypothesis is that the broken bones could provide a better grip on rocks.[9]

Yep, pretty horrifying, accurate name.

This country that we all live in? The country of Lemmy? I know the EU have been pretty good at slapping down Google's anti-competitive practices recently (though it's a long and slow process and I've not heard any news about this particular one yet).

Not actually as bad as I was expecting from the description, a few novelty variants on the classic card memory game. Can't say the fourth wall of my mind has been blazed though.

THE WORLD HAS FALLEN.

The outbreak spread faster than anyone could stop it. Governments collapsed, cities burned, and the infected turned every street into a graveyard. Hope is nearly gone.

While searching for shelter, you discover an abandoned escape room facility. At first, it seems like the perfect place to hide.

Then the doors lock.

A backup generator powers the building for just 30 minutes before the security system shuts down forever. Hidden throughout the rooms are the clues, keys, and mechanisms needed to unlock the only exit.

But you're not alone.

The infected have found you.

Every passing minute brings more pounding against the walls, more shattered windows, and more desperate screams from outside. The puzzles grow harder as the danger grows closer. Think fast, search carefully, and work under pressure—because once they break in, there won't be another chance.

Thirty minutes. One way out.

Can you escape before the apocalypse finds you?

All the ones that didn't fit neatly into a genre (or that only appeared after I'd done the post for that genre). Roughly ordered by whether or not they look any good. Normal service resumes tomorrow!

You are the sole hope for an entire planet. The greed of your people drove them to dig too deep, causing tectonic ruptures and volcanoes to erupt all over the planet once known as Otto. The planet was widely known as a paradise, with everything everyone could need or want, but that changed after the volcanoes triggered an ice age not seen in ages. Now the few survivors depend on you to get them oil, so they can refine it into fuel to burn and give the people heat and space ships. So, how long can you survive?

Fight against pirates to defend your haul, or succumb to the might of the three types of pirates: Scouts, Fighters, and the Dreadnaught.

You are under attack by UFOs in space. Blast incoming UFOs to earn XP and gold. Choose 3 weapon and feature cards that arrive at the end of the first wave. Improve your weapons and abilities with the gold you earn in waves. Move through the waves and try to reach the last wave.

tan•tan is a narrative "walking simulator" game about losing someone. you will play a character who is lost in someone else's loss.

In REM, you wake up trapped inside a shifting maze of dreamscapes and liminal spaces. With no memory of how you arrived or why you are here, your only option is to wander through these quiet, strange, and nostalgic worlds in search of an exit—whatever that might be.

Last Friday is a short first-person atmospheric experience inspired by liminal spaces, analog aesthetics, and dream logic.

You play as a volunteer testing an experimental neural VR headset. The session was supposed to last a few minutes.

It has been much longer.

At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system has been taken over by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind.

On the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is one of the few examples of a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It’s up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a successful conclusion, although you can lose a battle and still go on to keep fighting in the war. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system.

Are you up to the challenge of saving a galaxy?
