THE COSMIC WHEEL SISTERHOOD!!!! - Iāve recād it before cause itās so good, if you love a good story this is defo for you. Its so so gorgeous (pic below is from it). Youāre a witch whoās been in exile for centuries, who summons a demon to help. Choose your own adventure style story game with elements of collage (you make your own oracle cards).
Night in the woods - a weird lil walking sim story game that feels like a graphic novel. Existential and dark and mysterious.
Wylde Flowers - a cosy witchy farming and story game. i find pure farming/management sims a bit boring but this has a linear storyline which kept me entertained.
Spiritfarer - such a moving game unlike anything else Iāve played since. You play as a psychopomp ferrying souls into the afterlife and carrying out their final wishes.
Also if you wanted to get into more RPGs, I just finished Sea of Stars. Itās an adventure RPG with gorgeous pixel art. Itās made to have the nostalgia of old 90s RPGs, but youād definitely be able to appreciate it without having played them. It has combat, but itās turn based which might be easier for someone who isnāt as good at combat, and thereās relics you pick up that you can activate to make the fighting easier. Turn based combat in general is probably the way to go if you wanna move into fighting games!

like a choose your own adventure story written with such poetic beauty, with elements of magic-based collage. Itās one of only two games that have made me cry (the other being Spiritfarer).

Immortality-more horror/mystery. you scrub through footage of a movie star and things get weird, fast. really unique storytelling, great acting. don't want to say anything else to avoid any spoilers!
Return of the Obra Dinn-detective/puzzle. you move through time and memories on the once lost merchant ship Obra Dinn and uncover a wild and twisted story. super detailed, extremely addictive in my experience, really unique graphics. it's like an interactive comic book with the most satisfying reveals and discoveries.
Honorable mentions: Strange Horticulture, Gris (all time fav platformer), Void Crew (more of a strategy game than a story game but fun to play with friends)

Hereās a few of my favourite indie games, although now I look, none of them are particularly like Little Nightmares - perhaps something like Limbo or Inside would scratch that itch? If you let me know what genres you like I can be more specific š

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had āMySpace friendsā or ātumblr friendsā. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ā¤ļø
