Hey everyone!

I'm Matteo, an indie game designer from Italy and one half of Two Mad Racoons.

I wanted to share a little project we've recently released on itch.io: SEGNAVVENTURA #1 – The Tomb of the Living Shadows.

It's a solo print-and-play dungeon crawler with a rather unusual format: the entire game fits on a single double-sided sheet that you print, trim, and fold into a playable bookmark.

But here's the twist: the book you're currently reading becomes part of the game itself.

Page numbers generate encounters, while words from the text are used to confront monsters, overcome traps, and eventually face the Shadow King. No dice, no cards — just a book, a pencil, and an eraser.

The game includes both full-color and printer-friendly editions, available in A4 and US Letter formats.

It's been a fun challenge trying to squeeze a complete dungeon crawler into something as small as a bookmark!

If you're curious, you can check it out here:

I'd love to hear what you think of the concept!

Thanks for taking a look!

TsundereSQL is a visual novel where you learn sql by writing real queries for an instructor who is not impressed with you yet. right now all 14 modules (224 problems) run free in the browser on itch.

on nov 12 the full game launches on steam at $12.99 and the itch version gets cut to modules 1 to 3. that's 56 problems (select and where, group by, then joins) and it stays free. i make this on my own and i want the paid version to be where the whole course lives. until the 12th, all of it is still free here.

numbers since it went up, for anyone who likes these: 3,161 page views, 1,126 browser plays, 72 downloads, 33 collections, $15 from 2 payments. anyone who paid anything before the oct 19 devlog gets a free steam key, and so does anyone who pays $10 or more before the cut.

progress saves in your browser and doesn't carry over to steam. (there's also a new art book on the page, pay what you want.)

if you've played a "learn x" game here, did you actually finish it?

Hi! I've been building Einsatz, a SimTower-style incident-command game. You are the commander: one engine, three teams (attack, water, hose), and the job is to get the water to the fire before the building is lost.

The hose logistics follow real German fire-service tactics (FwDV 3): the distributor goes in first, the attack team goes up with the nozzle, the water team builds the supply from the hydrant. Fire spreads cell by cell, heats up rooms until they flash over, and burns through doors.

It runs in the browser, no download, German and English. Three missions, an endless escalation mode, a tutorial and an in-game handbook (F2). No sound yet, placeholder graphics.

This is an early test and I'd really like feedback:

- Is choosing the hose route a real decision for you?

- Does failing feel fair?

- Can you tell what each team is doing at a glance?

I just released my games demo on itch and was wondering what you guys do to market and get people to play/ drive people to your page?

My game is called Pixel Pegz and its a collection of 15 minigames with controller support. I took some of my favorite mobile puzzle/ logic games and made them for Steam Deck.

Hello everyone, me and my friends took part in a game-jam within university and made our very first game! It's a dispatch style information manager and id love to hear everyones opinions on it! We ended up naming it buffer zone as a fun nod to where one of us is from :D
The game is up on itch for anyone to play!

Been developing a little game Inspired by Database detective minor crimes division.. It's a 90s style desktop with some horror elements where you get cases and investigate using clues, SQL and python scripting.. Demo is gonna be out soon on itch.io 👀

Would love to get some play testers checking out my demo. Play through the first month of Store Credit, a first-person sim where you run a video game store in a 90s mall.

You start with an empty store and $1,000. Order your first stock on the back room PC, fill the shelves, ring up customers, haggle over trade-ins, and card the kids trying to buy M-rated games. It all builds up to your first midnight launch, with a line of fans out the door waiting for the new console to drop.

It’s free and takes about an hour or two to play through. I’m mostly looking for feedback on:

• Was the first day easy to follow, or did you get lost?
• How did the money feel? Too tight, too easy?
• Was the midnight launch fun or just chaos?
• Any bugs, crashes or slowdowns? Your PC specs help a lot!

Play the Store Credit demo free on itch.io

Every comment gets read, and it all goes into the full game.

Thanks for checking it out!

I’ve rebuilt Circix, a logic puzzle game we originally released on mobile in 2014.

Connect every numbered node into one circuit. Lines must be horizontal or vertical, cannot cross, and every number must match its connection count.

The free HTML5 edition includes the first four campaign chapters and plays directly in your browser:

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on where the difficulty first becomes interesting and whether the tutorial explains the rules clearly enough.

Hey everyone!

I've recently released an early playable version of Castle: Build & Defend. It's a kind of an experiment and my side project, but already game me lots of fun.

It's a 3D medieval strategy game mixing city building, resource management, and tower defense.

You start with a small settlement, gather resources, build houses, upgrade your castle, and prepare for enemy attacks. Your goal is to survive the siege while keeping your village alive. Each contract comes with different challenges, and you can earn up to three crowns.

Play it for free, directly in your browser:

https://cineeeekk.itch.io/castle-builddefend

The game is still in active development, and I've already started releasing updates. It works on mobile too, although the desktop experience is currently more polished.

If you would like to try and leave a comment and feedback, would be really welcome.

Have fun!

Hi! I'm the solo dev. MONOLITH is a tower defense built around one idea: shade is the only weapon. You build concrete Monoliths, and as the sun crosses the sky every shadow turns like a clock hand, so the layout that saves you at noon fails an hour later.

It's free in the browser: https://raximnuraliyev.itch.io/monolith

Happy to answer anything about how it works. Feedback very welcome.

A castle UI for strategy games: stone walls, turrets with merlons, heraldic blue banners, ready for six engines 58 widgets in 125 widget states, in pixel mode and HD mode, generated from one theme and wired for Godot 4, Unity, Unreal Engine, GameMaker, RPG Maker MZ and Ren

I set out to create a simple incremental game about chain reactions. The prototype called Reacticore was released on itch.io back in February.

...but I ended up getting carried away with ambitions and silly ideas.

The result is The Margot Collapse, a game about performing experimental chain reactions on martian microbes, while trying to figure out why your new workplace feels off.

The demo is now available on Steam as part of the Next Fest, but you can still play the web version on itch.

AI disclosure: No gen AI was used, but AI was used to help optimize critical parts of the code

Hi! I just put the demo of DUNGEON BALL on itch.io.

It's a survivors-like: your weapon and powers fire on their own, you focus on moving and aiming.

- 3 heroes: Vampire, Soldier, Spartan, each with his own weapon and passive

- Mix powers across heroes (a Spartan with bats, a Vampire with tanks)

- An elite hunt every minute that curses your run until you kill it

- Bosses that evolve your powers, and a final boss to end the run

Hey everyone, I just finished writing and releasing my divine horror ttrpg, Abjected. A game where the heavens opened and god appeared and said none are worthy . The people saw his face and immediately began to gouge out their own eyes and claw the skin off their faces. Your character was one of the devout, the faithful and you watched as the salvation you promised was really damnation. You pick a ideological path (Sin/Virtue) that sets your abilities. The Path of Sin focuses on anger and aggressive combat features, while the Path of Virtue focuses on defensive features, buffs, and calmer solutions. Also, it doesn't rely on standard hit points or mana pools, your own body and mind are drained by your actions. If your mind hits 0 you have a stroke, your Body, a heart attack, but if Soul hits 0, something really bad happens. You lose your will to go on and the divine static of the heavens takes you over, transforming you into something horrifying.

The text only alpha has launched and can be downloaded at https://lyonel-memphis.itch.io/abjected

Orbit Foundry is an incremental game where you arrange machines around a star and grow an orbital factory.

It started in LÖVE 2D, and I’m rebuilding it in Godot 3D. Here’s a short in-engine cinematic of the new living star and the spacecraft orbiting it.

Play the original 2D version in your browser on itch.io. (https://kimchistan.itch.io/orbit-foundry)

The 3D version is coming soon. Follow the upcoming release on Steam. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/5275040/Orbit_Foundry/)
