Hornets by Kitty Horrorshow—https://kittyhorrorshow.itch.io/hornets As mentioned in my review of Haunted Cities Vol.IV, the literary aspect of Kitty Horrorshow really explodes in her recent work. This interactive novella confirms it with a singular vision of mankind annihilation through occult forces. memory_head by Possmonaut—https://possmonaut.itch.io/memory-head Addictive roguelite/shooter with impressive minimal visual. The biohorror/cyberpunk feeling is definitely enhanced […]
