Freeware Games And Other Wonderful Things

Oops, missed Wednesday's post on account of laziness. I'll make up for it. In the meantime, I've been fiddling with a few free games every now and again. The first one is called VESPER.5 and it's... different. You are some sort of monk and you move forward towards something. The catch is that you can only move one space a day. That is, an actual 24 hour period on planet Earth. It's different to say the least, but it replays your previous moves when you load it up. Like Doctor Who in cliffhanger form, the game doesn't just last the 35 seconds it takes to make your move a day, but the 23 hours and 59 minutes or so between moves while you think of what's ahead. I won't get too worked up because it's probably all about the journey and not the destination.

The other one, the one that friends of mine have gone gaga over, is an RPG Maker game called Wadanohara And The Great Blue Sea. It has no random battles, and its character art is adorable. Everyone in this game is cute as a button... which makes things all the more troubling because the download site for this game has some pretty heavy fucking trigger warnings. The other foot isn't just waiting to drop this time, it's a goddamned meteor hurtling forth in space, ready to make an orbital strike on my feelings. I eagerly await how Wadanohara will make me very uncomfortable and ruin my feelings.

So. What free games do you like?
