Games for Gaza

[soc_puppet]

Once again, there's a charity bundle on itch.io for an important cause! Games for Gaza has 256 games (and similar things) for a minimum donation of $10 USD, with proceeds going to Medical Aid for Palestinians. There's a number of computer games for various operating systems (mostly Windows, some Mac, some Linux), a fair number of TTRPGs and journal games, a couple of soundtracks, and even a novel!

Some of the things I downloaded from my bundle include:

- Foul Play: From the description, basically seems to be Untitled Goose Game the multi-player TTRPG
- Muddlemash: Computer game for one to four players; you're on octopus on the way to a birthday party, competing with other octopuses to deliver a gift!
- A Monster's Expedition OST: The soundtrack for a puzzle-solving computer game I'm interested in but haven't gotten around to buying for myself yet (I kinda hoard digital music)
- Mandrake Sanctuary: "A solitaire trpg about raising adorable vegetable critters."
- Maybe You're My Love: "A solo journaling game about reverse harem anime". The title is a reference to the opening of Ouran High School Host Club, a reverse harem anime with bonus cross-dressing.

Those are just a few options, though! If you take some time to click through, you might find some things you'd like yourself—maybe even $10 worth.

BTW, anyone who buys this bundle can submit the receipt to me for my crochet pattern offer!

I have to ask. What is a journaling game?

I feel like this link has a pretty good explanation, but the bare bones is: The game gives you some basic prompts, you write some stuff, then roll some dice (or do some other things) for the next part of your prompt. I actually have yet to try them, but they seem like fun!

Interesting... though I feel like I have so much writing I'm committed to do that I would almost feel guilty starting one, haha.

I get that! I'm pretty sure there are some shorter ones that can just work as simple writing warm-ups and exercises (Sweaters by Hedgehog comes to mind, though it's not in this bundle), but it might be easier to stay "on topic" with your own setting and established characters and such. Still, there's lots of other fun stuff in that bundle, and overall it's not a bad way to spend ten bucks!
