Showcase! aka. some of my favourites and you should totally check them out
VA-11 HALL-A By sukeban games.
Genre: Visual Novel, Point and Click | Game link:steam
Cyberpunk Bartender Action!! You play as Jill who works as a bartender, and make drinks for the colourful characters that come to the bar
The game focuses on storylines involving regular customers that progress each time they come to the bar. The drinks you make don't affect the dialogue that much (some do but not a lot), if you want that you should check out Red Strings Club
This game stars robots, catgirls, talking corgis, ghosts and more! I love love the characters a lot!!! They are all very cute and quirky, and have their own story to tell. Tbh I like them all so much but my favourites are probably Stella and Sei in terms of how much I adore them
Also everyone is gay
This game has a special place in my heart. Whenever I have a quarter life crisis or something I always remember a certain scene from this game
There is a lot of interesting discussions and conversations around artificial intelligence, technology, capitalism etc etc (it is cyberpunk after all). *Warning for mature + NSFW conversations!!
The pixel art is gorgeous, with visuals inspired by old PC-98 Japanese adventure games
The music by Garoad is pretty awesome too, puts me in a chill, funky mood
I need to mention that im obsessed with a ship - Jill/Alma. It's not in anyway canon since Alma is straight but let me have fun please. I'm probably the sole person making fanart for them so IF YOU LIKE THEM TOO PLEASE TALK TO ME
A delightful game about a kid going on an errand on their own for the first time!
I honestly did not expect to enjoy this game as much as I did but it's now probably one of my favourite indie games i've played :)
I would have enjoyed more of just the shopping quests in the beginning on its own but there is a whole lot more to explore!
It's super wholesome and cozy, the graphics are super cute and it's a lot of fun to explore the areas! I also adoreee the little cats that are just all over the place i will protect them with my life

A short hike
A really fun game about hiking!
Tbh i plan on replaying it soon so please wait till i do and upload a million screenshots

Very similar to Va-11 Hall-A, but instead you work at a late night cafe in an urban fantasy setting! Like the aforementioned game, it largely focuses on stories surrounding the characters and their problems
It is very cozy and perfect to play on a rainy day! There is a lo-fi hip-hop cafe kind of vibe :)
There are fantasy races like elves, werewolves, vampires, orcs etc and I love how they did the worldbuilding! They explore a lot of issues / cultural differences surrounding them too
They also touch on various real world topics (with a fantasy setting) which can be relatable

Click on the thumbnails on the side to see a summary + my thoughts on the games!
Me and my friend like to scour through indie games on itch and take turns playing them so there will be a lot of those! :)
It's very wholesome and the sprites and UI and characters are super cute and looks polished.
We spent a lot of time asking random questions about frogs and other creatures that feature in this game and getting distracted looking them up. Did you know that tarantulas can be right handed.
