I played the Book Smugglers demo today and discovered something important: I am absolutely terrible at smuggling. I dropped my precious contraband books all over the place, got caught on my second run, and still somehow had a wonderful time.

Despite my questionable smuggler skills, the game’s atmosphere completely won me over. The art is striking, the mood is rich and quiet, and the historical inspiration gives everything this grounded, human weight. It’s a unique little experience — part stealth, part story, part love letter to the power of books.

This playthrough is soft, cozy, and full of gentle commentary as I wander through the demo, admire the world, and try (with mixed success) to keep hold of my dang books.

A soft‑spoken reading of Elizabeth Bowen’s “The Demon Lover,” a story that slips between memory, war‑time London, and the unsettling return of a promise made long ago. Mrs. Drover steps into her shuttered house for only a moment — but something is waiting for her, something that remembers her more clearly than she remembers herself.

This recording leans into the story’s quiet dread: the stillness of the empty street, the strange displacement of time, and the slow tightening of a past that refuses to stay buried. If you enjoy atmospheric narration, uncanny domestic spaces, and stories where the haunting is emotional as much as supernatural, you’ll feel right at home. Thank you for listening and wandering into the eerie with me ❤️

A quiet, atmospheric first dive into Darkest Dungeon, where gothic despair meets turn‑based strategy… and somehow I managed to keep everyone alive. I played a few rounds, admired the gorgeous art, and tried to bring a little calm narration to a world that really wants you to panic.

Setting sail into something delightfully chaotic today — Pirate Pillage and Plunder, a charming little adventure from Three Sided Die. I was gifted a Steam key and couldn’t resist diving in to see what kind of mischief, treasure, and gentle mayhem awaited. If you enjoy atmospheric indie games, this one has that handmade charm I love supporting ❤️Add to your wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3585660/Pirate_Pillage_and_Plunder/

This is my third attempt and it's a stressful work day for me in real-life so this game was basically an outlet of chatting. This game has such an interesting gameplay loop that it's becoming quite addicting and I need to physically stop myself from playing to get work done 😂Developer: ⁠ @DangenEntertainment ⁠

She decided one day she'd come in through the doggy door and has never left 😂

This is my second attempt at Deck of Haunts and I make major progress, discover an accidental almost-cheat, and get to night 18 before I needed a break.

A quiet, atmospheric first playthrough of Deck of Haunts, a cozy‑uncanny haunting sim where you guide a house full of humans through soft dread, strange rituals, and slow‑burn mystery. I ended up getting surprisingly far — all the way to Night 9 — before our heart was destroyed 💔

If you like quiet horror, environmental storytelling, or games that feel like reading a ghostly journal by candlelight, this one is a treat.

Thank you for hanging out with me — and for being the coziest little haunting companions🌙
