A Firm Handshake by Torfi – https://torfi.itch.io/a-firm-handshake I had one handshake since the beginning of the pandemic. It was incredibly weird, but not as funny as this game. The Body Monstrous by ribyrnes – https://ribyrnes.itch.io/the-body-monstrous Interesting take on the body horror genre through a mental health prism.
