Awe of Them by Food Without Taste—https://foodwithouttaste.itch.io/awe-of-them An interactive traversal of cosmic sacrificial ground architecture. Pure atmosphere of rust, darkness and concrete. Just like I enjoy my coffee. Bad Ben by Corpsepile – https://corpsepile.itch.io/bad-ben Exquisite constant tone switch from abstract horror, full-on domestic gore and hilarious bravado. This is mixed media aesthetic at its best. […]

It’s Winter by ИЛЬЯМАЗО and sad3d – https://store.steampowered.com/app/1003360/___ITS_WINTER/ I recommend this game as merchandise more than an experience. 10$ to wallow in a miserable Unity scene representing Russian suburban winter. I can’t think of something more in sync with Mark Fisher’s work. Enclosed by Ateliér Duchů – https://atelier-duchu.itch.io/enclosed Escher-esque puzzle platformer with some strong eerie […]
