Home (2025)

⠀

This is just the same game as "Away From Home", except one of them is shorter than the other (in the demo at least). Also, I encountered a game breaking bug in both versions; one where the screen stayed black after teleporting and another time where I could basically noclip in the city.

Insanely good pixel art. Very fun and goofy characters and dialogue. Even though I'm pretty bad at rhythm games I'm excited to see the full release

The Cave Dr. Monroe. This is a great little demo for a wholesome wissped away story of underground mutant animal people. A little taste of the Underground furry scene. I enjoyed the visuals and character designs in this game quite a bit and am looking forward to the full release.
