I did a blog post some time back about quick, free games to make you smile, but this time I have promised strange, and strange I shall deliver. Sometimes I really love short games that can be played in just a few hours or less (these all took me between a half hour to two hours). And sometimes I really love weird things. So if you're like me, then I think you're gonna love these...
๐One of my faves!๐ Overland is a challenging and poignant post-apocalyptic turn-based strategy/puzzle game in which you travel across the wastelands of the country picking up passengers, finding supplies, filling your car up with gas, petting dogs, killing deadly creatures, and trying to...
Arcade Spirits is a charming visual novel set in the near future about arcades, romance, friendships, happiness, and finding your dream. Figure out how to save the arcade you've started working at, get to know your coworkers and arcade regulars, and maybe even find...
Since this is more of a book blog than a game blog, I usually just talk about the games I like because they're great and I want people to play them! But everything is subjective.

I don't know about you all, but I find that life can be tough, and it helps to find things here and there that can make you smile. For me, games are one of the best distractions. Sometimes a whole long and involved game takes too much time and focus though. That's why quick, simple games can be great! I came across these three games lately---two of which only take a few minutes, the other less...
๐One of my faves!๐ Lake of Voices is a haunting, emotional horror/fantasy visual novel in which you and a fellow guard, with the help of the guide, have to cross a dangerous lake with deadly creatures in order to get to a village on the other side that needs your help. But you're not the only two crossing the lake tonight, and the trip is full of perils that not everyone is going to...
