Favorite unpublished WIP? When Life Gives You Lemons
Unpublished runners up, in no particular order: The Bureau; Fallen Hero: Revelations; The Fernweh Saga: Book Two (though there’s nothing public yet, it is in progress)
I just have to add one more to the favorite WIP list, thanks to @yizhens: Broken Fable… that demo was a damned blast!
Honorable mention WIP: Infamous (needed a separate category because it’s excellent writing and an addictive game that I both love and hate at the same time)
Favorite one that got published in 2023? Fallen Hero: Retribution
Published runners up, again in no particular order: I, the Forgotten One; The Fernweh Saga: Book One; Their Majesties’ Pleasure; Blood Moon
Honorable mention for 2023 released games: Wayhaven 3 (only for M’s route… I hated the other routes and the overall plot was terribly executed)
Itch games released in 2023: Roped In
Itch games WIP: The Wedding; Imperial Grace; Within Your Eyes; Burning Red; Heart Cage; Bewitching Sinners; Superstition S3; Touchstarved
Released games:
Fallen Hero: Retribution - I probably played this one more times than I should
I, the Forgotten One - Normally I’m not a fan of stories that take place in medieval times, but I had to make an exception - the writing is amazing
WIPs:
Infamous and Twisted Scene - I just like anything that involves music (and I loved both MC’s personalities)
Subject Zero - The atmosphere/setting of the story is pretty good and I’m curious to see where it goes
Out of the Yinshan - Sounds promising and the characters are pretty interesting
Fallen Hero: Revelations - I was planning to only read Revelations when the game was officially released, but curiosity got the best of me
Broken Fable - I’m always up to play as an OP 1000+ years old MC
Super System: Monster Evolution - has a very unique concept
Honorable mentions to Eyes of Shan (which was posted in the last day of 2022) and to Body Count on itch io
Really loved One Knight Stand, A Prophecy Undone, Birds of a Rose, and The Bar on the Abyss when it comes to WIPs released this year.
Wayhaven book 3 and Fallen Hero: Retribution, for HG releases. Also The Passenger, though that’s not technically 2023, but I’m counting it anyways for how close it was to this year.
I really liked a shinobi’s tale:eyes:
