Howdydiddlydeedly! first off, I love the idea of Haemoglobin Simulator 2020! XD

there are many deliciously splendiferous root concepts I have seen video games developed off of which is in itself encouraging in the industry! Talking triple A titles, one that I do love (on the core concept level) is the Watchdogs games. The idea of such technological vulnerability in learned hands is something that is a sobering thought in this day and age O_O.

With regards to games that you find on itch.io, there is one particular game I am holding high which is called "This Is Your Life Now" from More Mountains ;) This is a brilliantly simple game on the surface but as I found playing it, iit is actually very thought provoking!
In the game you play from childhood right to old age and death by walking forward! Simple right? Well, as you walk towards the grave, you will gain different life events like gaining your fiorst love, gaining bullies, and so forth. Each playthrough as well allows for such different possibilities as you can in the game at points choose whether or not you will take on certain events.

I've heard of that game! The graphics are pretty cute and are a real juxtaposition to the pretty nihilistic/deterministic text accompanying the events. I'll add it to the OG post as a recommendation! :) And yeah, I've really got to agree with you about Watchdogs - technology is both our saviour and our potential doom - someone's already proven that, with enough effort, it's even possible to hack into a pacemaker and with our increasingly digitised society it's becoming more and more worrying :0 I think it's a really neat game with some really interesting-to-think-about implications :D

Indeed! It really connects and in a way works as a successful contradition of itself with the deep  and blunt messages combined with the playful and "Nice" visuals :P The only game so far I have donated for :P

An amazing thing about Watchdogs really was how much it connects to the vulnerabilities of the digital age right? Something that always in that game makes me freeze in awe for a moment is being able to see snippets of the lives of passers by with the mobile app :) How bare and free to access all of their dark secrets are O_O
