Ciao from Italy! I am enjoying all the entries so far!

I'd like to lean into games that are tranquil or story-driven.

Share them in the comments and I'll do my best to review all of them. Especially those with fewer ratings.

My own game fits this mold - https://rkillen.itch.io/norms-face - I'd be honored to get your feedback.

Here’s my game, I went for comedy - hope it makes you laugh 👍

My game is more of an survival game. Not much for the story, but there is some eldrich lore if you manage to find it. Good luck.

Eldrich lore sounds great! I'll definitely give it a try.

And thank you for your review of mine! Very thoughtful.🙏

Here you go! I hope you enjoy it, although I am sure it would be cooler with more content and a bit more play-tested...

Eh, don't be too hard on yourself. I played your game. The concept is solid, just needs a bit of polish.

Here's mine. It is a visual novel based around sort of exploring the narrative space.

It's nice to see a few more VNs in here. I thought I might get run out of town for mine. I look forward to diving in.

Hi from Italy too :3

There's my game, it's a psychological-horror so it's quite an intense experience, there is a little gameplay part but the game is mostly story driven.

I hope you can play it and give me some feedback, I will check yours as soon as possible <3

Ciao! I only arrived in Florence in August. My wife is working at an intl school here. But we have fallen in love with Italy❤🇮🇹.

My submission is also more story than game play. Although one can lose when playing it, and probably will at least once. I look forward to exchanging reviews!

Submitted

I finally have some free time, I will check and rate your game as soon as possible <3

Here’s my VN entry if you are interested! Heads up it is a bit on the longer side. Fractured Divergence

I'm intrigued! And a little spooked. :D

Submitted

Very cool! Rated and reviewed!

if you find all the secrets in mine then you get a document with lore on the fake desktop (it makes more sense with context) maybe it's not so much a tranquil game, but perhaps that secret story to find is still worth exploring, check it out!

I am excited to give it a try! Thanks for dropping it here.

Submitted

Excellent, classic game! Rated and reviewed!

Submitted

glad you liked it! i hope the story was intuitive enough to find (as that was your original mission lol)

Submitted

Wouldn't go as far as to call it a VN, but I did borrow many aspects from the genre!

That's an intriguing description. I've been interested in that intersection and look forward to experiencing your take on it.

Thanks for starting this thread! I've been starving of story driven games. I need to go through this list this weekend (I got one queued up I still need to play).


Here's my story entry. It's a visual novel as well, set in wartime era:

Hi! Here's mine)

First attempt of making story game. Was surprised of complexity of making scripted games. Always thought procedural stuff is more difficult. But no 😅, different type -- different problems. Not sure, it's fun for playing,  but it was a lot of fun to make 😁.
