    I've caught the bug of getting new games on Steam sales, and now I'm jumping from game to game like the floor is lava. Indiana Jones, A Juggler's Tale, The Unfinished Swan, Venba, Sheepo, Crypt Custodian; all great gaming experiences. Have you picked up any new gems recently?

These two games are unlike any other I've played before so I'm eagerly awaiting their third, which sounds promising

    Oh, after you put me on to "What Remains of Edith Finch" I got their earlier game "The Unfinished Swan" which is kinda set in the imaginary world one of the children disappears in to. There's a really fun mechanic in the first part I won't spoil. It's much less narratively heavy, but still fun!

    130. The Unfinished Swan The Unfinished Swan is a surreal adventure game that takes place mostly in black and white but allows you, the player, to help color the world to find objects and solve puzzles. It's a short game, not very hard, but it's artistic, unique and surprisingly sweet. #365Games

    What Remains of Edith Finch is what's called "a walking simulator." It's more of an interactive movie than a game in the traditional sense. Gone Home. We've All Gone Off to the Rapture. Fire Watch. The Unfinished Swan. If you have about 4-5 hours and can handle a controller, they're solid stories.
