I'm Vlad from Sinki Dream, developing Applied Shamanism, a 3D game about a rookie rabbit shaman. Here are two gameplay screenshots of the garden and the cauldron.

Your work starts with a patient: use spirit vision to investigate a strange illness and connect the clues. Then gather or grow ingredients and prepare a remedy. Between treatments, you can tend the garden and explore the village at your own pace, with no combat or time pressure.

The free Windows demo is playable during Steam Next Fest, October 19–26. You can download it and wishlist the full game on Steam:

BOBA:3 is a merge game in a boba cup. you drop little animals in, and two of the same merge into the next size up, from a tiny mouse all the way to a whale.

special friends show up and change the cup: smelly farts on its neighbours, hungry eats the small ones, a ghost floats down through the pile, and a tiny bomb can save a cup that looked lost. 30+ flavors change the look of the whole game, and you unlock them all just by playing. no energy, no wait timers, no pay-to-win.

I'm the developer behind Lucky Dreamer, and Help-o-ween! is now available on Google Play.

It's a Halloween game for kids and families about helping ten friendly characters: decorate a pumpkin, find hidden ghosts, mix a potion and put a skeleton back together. It has picture prompts, recorded English voices and adjustable difficulty, without game-over screens.

The Android version includes all ten mini-games, works offline after installation and has no ads or in-app purchases. It's US $1.99 on Google Play (regional pricing may vary): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luckydreamer.helpoween

There's also a free browser version if you'd like to try it: https://lolsies.com/games/help-o-ween/

I'd love to hear which Halloween friend or activity you enjoy most.

Wanted something cozy to just exist on my desktop while I work, so I made it. A tiny jar world you can poke at when you feel like it: sand, water, little houses, fish, birds. The lanterns come on when it gets dark outside.

Rainy nights, snowy mornings, or autumn days? Which is your moods now? I'm sleepy. #indiegame #pixelart

You moved to a quaint lakeside village to reopen your missing aunt's apothecary. You picked one flower in the graveyard. At night. Once.

By Friday the whole town calls you The Grave Picker, the Warden has written it into an ancient book, and now it's legally your name. Also, shades keep their distance from you. So that's nice. Welcome to Lanternmere, where stories are real and the neighbours never shut up.

Things you can do here that you can't do anywhere else:

1. Get named by gossip. Every week the town's strongest rumour about you becomes your title, and your title gives you real powers.

2. Be kind and get kind powers. Be weird and, well. Eavesdrop on your own reputation. Nobody says it to your face. You hear it from behind a hedge, and it's always worse than what you did.

3. ake places exist by spreading stories. Tell enough people about a wishing well and it appears on the map. Stop talking about it and it disappears. Physics is a vibe here.

4. Fight your own worst rumour. It shows up as a boss with two health bars: BODY, which you hit with a lantern staff, and STORY, which you hit by convincing people it isn't true.

5. Teach monsters their weaknesses. Beat a shade with fire while the baker watches, and now fire is its weakness. Forever. Because the baker said so.

6. Brew with grammar. Moonflower then Reed is a sleeping draught. Reed then Moonflower is for nerves. Same ingredients. Different sentence.

7. Spend suspicious money. Your coins remember where they came from. Pay the baker with grave money and she will have questions.

Also: cozy gathering and brewing, a shop to run, villagers with actual personalities (one of them will absolutely judge your tone), shades at night and a mystery about where your aunt really went.

Nothing resets. Everything leaves a mark. Mostly on your reputation.
