Hi! I'm Puddle, I like video games and talking about how they make me feel.

This is the video I'm proudest of atm:

In it I explore imaginary spaces and how they can have a tangible effect on our lives, whether we like it or not.

Thank you so much for stopping by! ^-^

There is no way you can guess how the thread that ends in this instant classic begins.
The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

Wow, Petscop is now eight years old. And still one of the best, most understated pieces of surreal 'haunted videogame' analog horror around.

Best experienced late at night with nothing else to get in the way. Try to piece it together yourself, and come to your own conclusions and interpretations.

More will be added as they come out...............Stay Tuned

ANATOMY is a game about a house that’s alive, alone, and hurting. A house that slowly tears itself apart.

I made a video about its beauty, its horror, and the quiet sadness hiding behind its tapes:

NEW VIDEO: When I sort by playtime on my Steam library, seven games sit neatly at the top, these titles all evoking something powerful and comforting in me. And so I thought I'd talk about them here, in this video:

i think art is good, and i think recognizing when artists are doing something new and weird is also good.

Silksong’s fascination with religion is obvious from the beginning. But only in examining the game’s conclusion(s) does its perspective become clear — this is a story about the apocalyptic finish line, a story about the end of stories. And it is also about what comes after.

Oh dang, I forgot there was a Colorgrave game out today. Great tiny indie studio that - as the name suggests - specializes in making stuff that looks like it's straight from the Game Boy Color.
