[ i'm so sorry to have a misc. category !! these might go into distinct buckets eventually ]

A Museum of Exclusionary Design

Educational

a very great introduction to hostile design in public spaces with plenty of examples
i really love how the medium of a game allows the player to examine these benches from all angles and rly see the similarities between the intent in a way they couldn't irl (because of their different locations globally/within the UK).
lovely example of a game with a purpose check it out !!

two eulogies: one late, one early

Interactive Fiction

Play in browser

(that's good)

this little manifesto puts into words really eloquently what i've felt has been lacking from media lately -- living in a world bereft of weirdly horny creative works kind of blows
perversion elevates literally any kind of media even if it's not a fetish I Personally am into just in my little opinion
read this manifesto and challenge yourself to create works that embrace sexuality rather than cringing away from it !

An interactive zine on the nature of being raised Christian.

Interactive Fiction

Play in browser

an absolutely gorgeous interactive zine about being "born saved," raised into Christianity without asking to be
i really love the varied interactive elements used to uncover each page
lovely prose!! some lines are absolute gut punches

peat moss, noise, space, bodies

Play in browser

wonderfully written bitsy game, a meditation on peat moss the different stratum of a bog
i loved the sensory description of your hand sinking through the different layers of plant matter
enjoyed how different it was overall !!!

a game about teen girls, blogs and love triangles in 2004

Play in browser

another fave that's a simulated chat client slash website builder... my one vice
the dialogue between these 13 y/o's chatting in AIM is uncannily spot on i spent this whole game wincing because this was me in middle school and i hate it
i really loved the kind of hypnospace outlaw-esque blog site building aspect of this game it's not very consequential but it IS fun
