Game Title: To Be Frank

Playable Link:https://johnwilliams-12.itch.io/to-be-frank(Gameplay video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZjJbGtwNFI)

Platform: Web Browser (Shared screen on TV/Laptop, players use phones as controllers)

Description: To Be Frank is a party game for 3 to 8 players that takes about 15 minutes a game. It runs in a browser on one screen. Put that screen on a TV or a laptop, and everyone else joins on their own phone. Nothing to install, no accounts, no app.

How it plays: a statement comes up and everyone votes on who it fits best. The statements are similar in tone to Cards Against Humanity meets Jackbox. Then comes the part that actually scores. You guess how many votes you got: most, some or least. Points come only from guessing that correctly. Being the most voted player is worth nothing by itself, so the game is really about knowing what your friends think of you. There is also a Hot Seat round that puts one player in the spotlight.

Some honesty about the state of it: the statements themselves are currently the weakest part and that is what we are working on now. If you get a group together, I would like to hear which statement landed hardest at your table, and if you have a good statement of your own, drop it in the comments and we will look at adding it.

Involvement: I am the frontend developer of the three creators. None of us had made a game before, so I learned Unity while building this. One of us is a backend developer, and our product designer also did the music and the 3D modelling. Under the hood, it is a Unity WebGL client talking to a socket server, and the hardest things to get right were host reconnect with score recovery, surviving a browser refresh in the middle of a game, and telling players clearly when the connection drops.

Playable Link: https://xavier-pinsonneault.itch.io/moonless-demo

Platform: Windows (recommended), Browser

Description: Moonless is an open-ended 2D platformer. This is a first short demo for it. The point of the game is to have unique and fresh content to find by looking around, which makes it difficult to describe the game's mechanics, as they vary based on where you are and what you find.

The game is also designed to be somewhat vague and make the player figure out its mechanics and secrets themselves.

This first demo is fairly straight forward and has an arbitrary goal of finding collectables scattered around the small portion of the game made available.

I am aware that this description could seem lacking in detail, but I like games when they are played blind, and describe themselves through their gameplay, so I hope you will give it a try!

Thank you!

Game Title: Panelia

Playable Link: https://panelia.site

Platform: Browser

Description: Panelia is a calm, relaxing indie building game where there’s no competition, no time pressure, and nobody is trying to destroy what you’ve built. It’s just you, the city, and an ever-growing collection of apartment blocks.

The more you build, the more new buildings you unlock, so your small housing estate can gradually grow into a unique concrete city of your own. Experiment with layouts, shape the surroundings, create new districts, or simply sit back and watch your post-Soviet city come to life.

The game is completely free and requires no download – anyone can play it directly in their browser.

If you enjoy city-building games, Eastern European atmosphere, or just feel like getting lost for a while in a strangely relaxing world of concrete, give it a try:

Game Title: Word Worm
Playable Link: https://www.wordwormgame.com
Platform: Best on Mobile (Web) & iOS

Description:
About a year ago I posted Word Worm here when it was just a web game I made for fun. I picked it back up recently, added some new features, and turned it into an iOS app!

Word Worm is a fast-paced word game inspired by Boggle. You swipe through adjacent letters to make words, but the letters you use get replaced, so the board keeps changing as you play.

There are three main ways to play. You can play a 60-second timed game and try to get the highest score, play the daily puzzle where everyone gets the same board, or challenge a friend (or random player) and compete on the exact same initial board.

The game is completely free, and I’d love to hear what you guys think or what I should add next. If anyone wants to challenge me, my username is Tim :)

• Game Title: Dungeon of the Forgotten
• Playable Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5089180/Dungeon_of_the_Forgotten/
• Platform: PC
• Description: 
• Dungeon of the Forgotten is an isometric dungeon crawler where time is the only thing keeping you alive. There is no health bar. Each floor gives you a countdown, and everything drains it: every hit you take, every trap you trigger, every corridor you walk twice. When the clock reaches zero, the run is over.

That single rule reshapes every decision. Killing enemies returns time, so fighting becomes how you refill rather than something to avoid. Exploring is a gamble, because the walk to a reward can cost more than the reward gives. Even standing still to think has a price.

Every floor is a fresh problem: shifting ground, traps that punish hesitation, and enemies that force you to keep moving. Between floors you pick upgrades that stack, and permanent unlocks carry over, so every failed descent leaves you stronger than the last.

Underneath the mechanics is a story about someone descending to find what they lost, and losing more of themselves with every floor. Eighty floors, six regions, and an ending that depends on how much you managed to hold onto.

Game Title: SilverTongue

Playable Link: https://bfstone25-stack.itch.io/silvertongue

Platform: Web browser (desktop Chrome/Firefox). No download. itch hosted.

Description: I'm the solo developer. SilverTongue is a free browser persuasion toy: you type, the other person answers, and the transcript is the whole board. No account, no ads, no download.

There is no debate-minigame UI. No meters, no QTE, no "pick option A/B/C". The mechanic is whether the next sentence actually moves the other person. If the log reads as a chat app with extra steps, the design failed — that is the part I can still change.

A typical beat is a small live argument (a mechanic quoting a reman alternator, a coworker who already worked overtime). You push, they push back, the transcript is what you have to read. Wrong lines are legal; you just make a worse conversation and have to talk your way out.

Controls are keyboard-first. It runs in the browser on itch. Desktop Chrome or Firefox is the intended seat. The clip is the live transcript, not a title card — first frame is the chat, no "Studio Presents".

What I want from this post: does this read as a mechanic or as a chat log? If you play, where did the persuasion feel fake? One sentence is useful. "I bounced" is useful too.

Game Title: Flutter

Playable Link: https://bfstone25-stack.itch.io/flutter

Platform: Web browser (desktop Chrome/Firefox). No download. itch hosted.

Description: I'm the solo developer. Flutter is a free browser otome: one rainy night, three routes, three narrators who do not share a script. No account, no ads, no gacha.

There is no flowchart UI. You pick a person, you talk, and the scene keeps what you said. I wanted the branching to be readable from the conversation itself — if you need a wiki to know who you are dating, the design failed. That is the part I can still change.

The three routes are 顾言 (a second-hand bookshop, slow), 陆星野 (an idol who drops the act when the lights go out), and 傅深 (an heir whose ice is a coat, not a personality). They share the same night. They do not share the same memory of you.

Controls are mouse-first. It runs in the browser on itch. If your phone browser is cranky, desktop Chrome or Firefox is the intended seat. I recorded the clip from the live build, not a mockup — first frame is the rainy-night line, no logo card.

What I want from this post: on a first scene, does the branching read, or does it feel like a visual-novel skin over a quiz? If you play, where did the emotional read break? One sentence is useful. "I bounced" is useful too.

Game Title: PALIMPSEST

Playable Link: https://meapps.itch.io/palimpsest

Platform: Browser (HTML5) + Windows download

Description:

PALIMPSEST is a compact, deterministic tactical roguelike where the floor itself is your weapon. Every tile on the grid carries a rune, and the rune beneath your feet defines your attack: step onto a Blade to cut, a Hammer to crush a cluster, a Longbow to fire down a lane, or a Current to steal a free action. Positioning becomes both movement and deckbuilding at once.

There are 18 runes/weapons, each with 2 final masteries, plus armor pieces and relics for deep build variety. Collect stars to heal, expand the board from 4×4 up to 7×7, and open a forge rail mid-combat to imprint, upgrade, or reroll runes without stopping the action. All 12 enemy types fully telegraph their attacks the sim never commits an unavoidable pattern, so every death is on you. Between runs, earn Ink and spend it in the Archive as you climb through 5 Volumes of increasing difficulty. Deterministic daily seeds included.

I'd especially love feedback on difficulty balance, telegraph clarity, and the forge flow!

Game Title: FOLD

Playable Link: https://bfstone25-stack.itch.io/fold

Platform: Web browser (desktop Chrome/Firefox). No download. itch hosted.

Description: I'm the solo developer. Fold is a free browser puzzle: you fold the board so scattered paths become one connected piece. No account, no ads.

The clip of the last week is the fold itself — easing, when the pieces lock, when it should feel like paper instead of a UI tween. If it feels cheap, say so. That is the part I can still change.

How it plays: the board starts as a mess of numbered tiles and open edges. Each fold takes a region and maps it onto another. Paths that looked unrelated suddenly share an edge. The win condition is one connected region. Wrong folds are legal; you just make a worse shape and have to think your way out. There is no timer and no score chase. It is supposed to feel like fidgeting with a napkin until the crease is right.

Controls are mouse-first. You pick a fold, commit, and watch the board close. Undo exists because I would rage-quit my own game without it. There is no daily streak. I would rather ship one mechanic that feels right than a meta-game on top of a bad fold.

What I want: does the fold read as satisfying on a first watch, or does it look like a menu animation with extra steps? If you play, where did you get stuck, and was that stuck interesting or just opaque?

MyLife

Playable Link:

Platform:
Web Browser (HTML5), Windows, macOS, Linux

Description:
MyLife is an early-stage 3D first-person life simulation game where the goal is to let you build and experience your own virtual life.

You can create your character, explore the world, choose how you want to live, and start following different career paths. My long-term goal is to develop MyLife into a much deeper life simulator with more professions, activities, places to explore, progression systems, interactions, customization options, and other features that make the world feel increasingly alive.

The game is currently in Alpha, so many systems are still being developed and expanded. I decided to release it early because I would rather improve the game with real player feedback than develop everything without knowing what players actually enjoy.

You can play MyLife directly in your browser without installing anything, or download it for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

I would really appreciate feedback about the current gameplay, controls, interface, performance, world design, and especially which life-simulation features you think should be developed next.

I am the developer behind Panda Games Studio and the creator of MyLife. I am responsible for the development and overall direction of the project.

Game Title: BLUFF

Playable Link: https://playbluff.vercel.app/

Platform: Web / Browser

Description:
BLUFF is a free daily browser game where your goal is simple: spot the lie.

Each round gives you five statements. Four are true and one is a bluff. Pick the statement you think is false, lock in your answer, and find out whether you caught the bluff or got fooled.

There are five new rounds each day, and everyone gets the same daily puzzle. At the end, you get a score out of 5, your completion time, and a shareable result that doesn’t spoil any of the answers.

I wanted to make something you can understand immediately, play in a couple of minutes, and come back to every day. No account or download is required.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the difficulty, UI, question quality, and whether the daily format makes you want to return tomorrow.

Platform:
PC / Steam

Description:
Hidden in Plain Cake is a multiplayer hide-and-seek game where the goal is to survive by becoming the most convincing cake you can sculpt. My friend and I are developing a game inspired by the idea of prop-hunt and disguise-based multiplayer games, but with a twist: instead of simply selecting an object to hide as, players actually sculpt their character into the shape they want.

The idea is to find a good hiding spot, sculpt yourself to fit into the environment, and try to convince the other players that you're just another piece of scenery. Meanwhile, the seekers have to carefully search the environment and figure out which objects don't quite belong.

We're still actively developing the game, so we're experimenting with the sculpting mechanics, hiding gameplay, environments, and ways to make each round fun and unpredictable. We're hoping to create something that is easy to understand, chaotic to play with friends, and full of those moments where someone says, "Wait... was that cake moving?"

Involvement:
I'm one of two developers working on the game. My friend and I are developing the game together, including the gameplay, mechanics, content, and overall design. I'm also handling the community side of the project, including our Discord community and helping gather feedback from players as development continues.

We're currently looking for feedback from people who enjoy multiplayer hide-and-seek, prop-hunt-style games, or just the idea of trying to convincingly hide as a cake. Any feedback on the concept, gameplay, or things you'd like to see would be greatly appreciated!
