24th backlog game, We Are OFK, complete! 25/28 in 7.5 hours!

A 6-hour interactive movie music video that plants you straight in LA into the lives of a fun group of friends. The story is paced into 5 episodes each with an amazing narrative-driven song, and it hits sooo different.

23rd backlog game, In Other Waters, complete! 100% in 13 hours (save file)

Amazing!! One of the most novel narratives out there, immersed through the lens of a computer in an unknown world of biology, history, and once-there characters... plus, a quiet, touching sense of queer longing. Super sweet.

22nd backlog game, Get In The Car Loser! complete! 16/28 in 9 hours

After the first act, this game picks up in every way. Definition of sticking the journey! Very experimental, unique combat that requires some adaptation.

Act III is the peak of queer expression. You definitely need to see it!!

21st backlog game, OPUS: Echo of Starsong, complete! 23/40 in 9 hours

SIGONO'S MAGNUM OPUS AND MY NEW FAVORITE GAME..!!

One of the best sci-fi fantasies of all time. Beautiful, refined, charming, with a story & sound that moved through my heart like tree roots cracking the sidewalk. I cried/10/10.

20th backlog game, Tell Me Why (Chapter 1) complete! 6/30 in 2.9 hours

I don't intend to finish this game (this 1st chapter is free and the rest isn't) but I do intend to look it up. The writing was pretty good actually! I just wanna see what happens, is all.

having friends is so much stress... socializing with new people is so easy... let me talk to strangers and be on my way without a shred of effort and commitment

neverlasting paths, o heavenly earth, i understand

19th backlog game, OPUS: Rocket of Whispers, complete! 22/22 in 7.2 hours.

A few bugs made for a rough start, but it was charming and pleasant the rest of the way through. I cheered as my expectations came true, gasped at the little bits of drama, and basked in the soundtrack's wintry chime...

Seventeenth backlog game, OPUS: The Day We Found Earth, complete! 26/31 in 4 hours

Games with unique UIs always stand out and often end up near and dear to me too. Sigono's first OPUS game is nice and cute, and I'll be happily moving onto the next one right away!!

Sixteenth backlog game, GRIS, complete! 5/17 in 3 hours

GRIS is a simple story I believe will resonate with those it intends to hear. It is beautiful (though not without some bugs). I don't see myself in the girl, Gris. One day, I will be in her shoes. I hope then I hear my voice in hers.

Fifteenth game of the backlog, Finding Paradise, completed! 1/1 in 4.8 hours

I would've liked to experience this game 8 years ago. Freebird's style of game is endearingly charming, but I imagine years ago, it would've been even more novel. I loved this game~ I will be playing Imposter Factory too!

Fourteenth game of the backlog, To the Moon, completed! 1/1 achievements in 3.7 hours (recently)

Fourteen years later... This game doesn't just hold up, it keeps up, and it's like I've finally caught up. All that makes this story special shines through to me now, like a lighthouse in the night.

💛💙

Twelfth game of the backlog, Choice of Robots, complete! 22/72 achievements in 4.5 hours (minus one spent AFK)

My first Choice of Games game! Always liked CYOA stories, and this one was deep both narratively & mechanically (teehee). A few moments in this story got me really good tbh 🥹
