Sekiro: Love and Daunt
March 27, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBThe moonlight casts vines of a pale white downwards through low hanging clouds of the night sky. Reeds sway eastward with the wind. In a nearby structure, bystanders peer through gaps in shutters at the two figures standing on opposite ends of the plateau. All is silent, save for a slight babbling stream nearby. The two figures used to play there, together, as children. Back then, war was just a story told by grandfathers, a warning to future generations to avoid passing to the real...
It's Warmer Today, Alright
March 20, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBGanon's done a lot of harm in this world. He's ripped families apart, decimated the homes of the Hylian people, eradicated those who stood for peace and hope and prosperity. Zelda has been in a calamitous and ongoing battle against him for a century, and I mean that quite literally. I'm doing everything I can on my own to build up the strength to help, but first I need to go out in the desert and flex a bit in my boxers. It's warmer today, alright?

Third Grade PikaBlues
March 06, 2019 16:35 - 1 hour - 73.1 MBI arrive on the playground every day carrying my tomes of Prima Strategy Guides and printouts from GameFaqs. I sit atop the slide like a mad king as peasants bring their GameBoy Colors and crowd around the rungs, eager to climb up and allow me to bless them with my wisdom. I tell them "Nay, you must climb the slide to speak to me. The ladder's rungs are for I alone to climb." They only make it halfway up before the slide takes hold of them; and like a bowling ball they careen down i...

80s Synth Hell
February 20, 2019 14:23 - 1 hour - 78.9 MBIt is 198X and Mountain Dew drips from every surface, clinging like a parasite to its host. It is a green haze that looms wide over this city, and citizens cover their mouths with masks to filter the Dew from the clean air trapped underneath its disgusting weight. This is the future Caustic always dreamed of, growing up. It is what he has been working towards. This is his twisted utopia, his 80s Synth Hell.

Dragon Quest XII: This Time QBert Is In It
January 23, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 78.9 MBAfter calamity struck the citizens of Xanthia found themselves frozen in time, statues of flesh and blood strewn about the citadel and the marketplace and the homes and the stables.

Who resets Resetti?
October 24, 2018 15:26 - 1 hour - 82.7 MBI prefer the stillness here, underground. I am tired of the town. These citizens. I'm tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives. They claim their labors are to build extra rooms in their homes, yet their homes are filled with horrors. Perhaps "home" is not built. Perhaps nothing is built. It's too late to reset.

The Legend of Zelda: Black Friday
October 17, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 75.3 MBLong long ago, a great many people called home a beautiful land of rolling hills and glorious sunrises. For generations they found only contentment, with food and wealth aplenty so long as they kept hidden a great power. One day, a man born of sunsets broke his sacred oath and sought the power for himself. He travelled the wilds throughout his unholy quest, and those who met him assumed nothing of his dark secret as it slowly destroyed his mind. Meanwhile, a great and timeless batt...

The Dearth of Luigi
September 19, 2018 09:28 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBHe's been gone for what seems like a lifetime. You notice it in the fleeting moments, when you hear a joke you think he'd have liked, when you see a great deal on a new vacuum. We'd devoted an entire year to his very existence, celebrating his every breath and parading his visage around to all who'd gaze upon it. Even so, the world crumbled beneath our feet. The economy turned sour, and our year of jubilation ended with a whimper. And so, feeling responsible for the collapsing of soc...

August 01, 2018 05:04 - 1 hour - 69.7 MBTravel far enough and you'll see them, the echoes of long lost explorers who sailed across the stars searching hopelessly for meaning. And it's that same unsettlingly ambiguous quest that you find yourself in the throes of now. It decided to bring you here, again. This sparse landscape of freezing tundra lays bare before you, taunting you. How many times will you return to this frigid rock? What else is there to see, to do, to discover? An infinite universe and enough hyperfuel to se...

July 24, 2018 14:59 - 56 minutes - 51.6 MB"It's my time to shine," you tell yourself. Four foes stand before you, each one a grotesque homunculus of flesh and, well, something else. The allies you've made along the way have fought valiantly at your side, raining ice from the heavens or concocting new modern miracles to liven spirits. With this in mind, you approach the battlefield, and begin to dance. Suddenly a dense fog envelops your compatriots, and visibility is too low to fight without wildly stabbing into the mist. You...
Frasier in the Void
July 19, 2018 00:55 - 48 minutes - 44.3 MBThe year is 20XX and Kelsey Grammer opens his eyes for what feels like the first time in decades. He looks to his left and sees only a vast emptiness; to his right, the same. He calls for help, but only his voice echoes out across the expanse. The air is perfectly still.
