A visual novel with some hentai. The girls are crippled. Not much to say, the story is OK, but I think it's cool that games are breaking some taboos.

Then you must love rape sims :lol:

What I like in the game is that for being a romantic VN it tries to squeeze the disability stuff (with a main character that don't think he is as bad as all the people around him), and the reactions that he have towards the other girls.

So a friend of mine by the name of Noah Sasso created a cool multiplayer game to be featured in the upcoming No Quarter Exhibition called Barabariball. Noah helps out with TBC stuff all the time, and I play tested Barabariball a bunch of times. I'm hoping you guys will check it out and keep an eye open for more of Noah's work.

Freedom Bridge, Passage, and Everyday the Same Dream are all worth trying.

They're very short games. Passage requires you to download it. But all of them have very unique, poignant experiences. Definitely worth 10 minutes of your time.

Has anyone played Superbrothers: Swords & Sorcery EP?

It looks great, and I was thinking of having a go at it, since it's on computers now. Any thoughts?

I have it on iPad/iPhone. Really like the retro-inspired art direction and music. I have to say, I got a bit stuck at one point fairly early on and haven't gone back to it yet. It's been on my to-do list for awhile now.

I've become quite the fan of Jim Guthrie's music throughout, as I've picked up the soundtracks for both this game and his most recent release for Indie Game: The Movie.

After doing a few Google searches, i was stoked to learn that Fire Maple Games are releasing a follow up to their games The Secrets Of Grizzly Manor, and The Lost City, called Mosaika! If you havet heard of them, or their games, you can check out my review of the two latest offerings from the Fire Maple team HERE! The games are for iOS and Android systems, and work on all smartphones and tablets etc. They are simple point and click adventure puzzle games and i am glad the team have decided to stick to the winning formula they have used in their previous offerings! Here are the latest snaps!

Mosaika looks good.

I just started playing this moving title called To the Moon. It's made by Freebird Games. It has a remarkable story and atmosphere. Really great game, in my opinion.

IndieGames.com's Top 12 Indie Games of the Year:

http://indiegames.com/2012/12/top_10_in ... 012_2.html

Rundown:
12- The Sea Will Claim Everything
11- Dys4ia
10- Frog Fractions
9- Resonance
8- Slender: The Eight Pages
7- Journey
6- Retro City Rampage
5- FTL

Can't say I agree with the list (especially in that order), but it does an impression that it was a good year for indie games. Also not really sure I agree with that, but at least there's a good selection in here, and I'm sure all of you can find something you'll like.

Out of these I'd like to highlight The Sea Will Claim Everything and Dyad from the other more known ones.

And also some others they didn't choose, like The Kite, Miasmata and The Old Tree.
