playnite having a random game option has been a godsend for me because there are just SO many games in these bundles that i've never seen people talk about or play. here are a few highlights:

Strife of Cosmos (Bundle for Ukraine / Dread X's abortion bundle) - one of those turn-based rpgs that almost becomes a puzzle game with how mechanics-heavy it is. the music is fantastic also

Izil's Adventures: Blackfeather's Legacy (Bundle for Palestinian Aid) - this is fun to mess around in for a few minutes! it feels like an over-the-person reimplementation of the movement in a short hike with some pirate flavor on it to give you motivation to run around the world

Astrologaster (Bundle for Racial Justice) - unbelievably charming game about being a completely legitimate licensed doctor who diagnoses people by reading the stars. i think this is WAY too long and wears out its welcome but the premise and presentation are so novel that it's worth checking out

Stillwater (Queer Games Bundle 2022) - huge fan of the kind of visual novel where the characters have obviously been knocking around in the devs' heads for a long time and that's absolutely what stillwater is. very short (under half an hour for me) and nice to look at

Shepherdmancer (Bundle for Abortion) - now this. THIS is what i'm here for. this took way too long to ramp up into being an interesting rpg but i adore the art style and presentation. what a labor of love

I *adore* this game. All the people in it - or most - are based on real people from Elizabethan times. In particular Simon Foreman, the character you play as, was a real dude. The different styles of songs for each patient are amazing. Please check this out if you own it; it *is* a bit too long but it's so charming.

It's very neat how these bundles are basically a shared library that everyone has (if they caught it in time).

Dungeons and Lesbians! Cute, pretty witty and having a blast with this even though I havent finished it, gonna recommend it anyway!




Also they've got a custom 'you own this' message.


https://digital-poppy.itch.io/lesbians
This one is kinda less fun because you're playing goth lady with adhd pal and a huge bitch which made it really hard to enjoy at all. Cant recommend unless you're a masochist who likes being yelled at all the time and not even in a tsundere way.

so I thought I was doing well in knocking out visual novels pretty fast til I did a dumb thing and decided to look at how many there are in my combined bundle count.

I've only read a few, but of those I liked The Last Magi, Little Visitor, Le Jardin du Nécromancien, Brah-madeus, Scales of Justice, An Actual Goblin, Mouthful, Putty Pygmalion, Unprocessed Meat, Tomb of Naomi. Flying Saucer Video. Those are all very different so there should be something for everybody, or at least for many, in there.

Could we have a private thread for buyers of the bundle? I find that I enjoy comics best the way they get posted on the webcomics thread: Posted days apart and with plenty of time for discussion.
Of course we can't just post all these authors' stuff on a publicly accessible forum and so my question.

A new one:

Holiday Indie Super Bundle
https://itch.io/b/2184/holiday-indie-super-bundle

These are games, a few even have Steam keys apparently. No mention of any charity that I can find, though, so I assume there's none.

quote:

Treat a friend (or yourself!) this holiday season with over 100 games from across the Itch.io community!

By buying this bundle you're not only getting a steal of a deal, but supporting up-and-coming indie game developers!
