    Oh boy I have a mountain of these <3.

    Heaven's Vault, an archaeology game

    An archaeology and exploration game by Inkle Studios

    Kentucky Route Zero‚a magical realist adventure game By [Cardboard Computer](http://kentuckyroutezero.com/) > Kentucky Route Zero is a magical realist adventure game about a secret highway running through the caves beneath Kentucky, and the mysterious folks who travel it.

    This is a phenomenal game whose fifth—and final—act comes out on Jan 28th. It's told in five acts with intermissions between each that play with the fourth wall.

    The KRZ canon includes:

    • Act 1
    • Limits and Demonstrations
    • Act 2
    • The Entertainment
    • Act 3
    • Here and there along the Echo
    • Act 4
    • Un Pueblo de Nada
    • Act 5 (Released Jan 28th, 2020)
    2001: A Space Felony By [National Insecurities](https://nationalinsecurities.itch.io/2000to1-a-space-felony)

    2000:1: A Space Felony is a murder mystery courtroom drama set aboard the USS Endowment, an interplanetary Spacecraft that has lost communication with Earth.

    A short and hilarious detective game. I recommend everything that NI has built thus far.

    In the Pause Between the Ringing—a rumination about completion, territorial margins and about the haunting of bodies and memories that are translated across borders.

    By Studio Oleomingus.

    In the Pause between the Ringing is a rumination about completion, about territorial margins and about the haunting of bodies and memories that are translated across borders. It is an adaption of an unpublished story written by Mir UmarHassan for the editor of the Malwa Chronicle in the July of 1958. And it records the turbulent history of telephone mining in British India.

    The Norwood Suite

    By CosmoDDD. I also recommend its prequel Off-Peak

    In 1983, Peter Norwood, one of the world's most internationally-celebrated pianists and composers, mysteriously vanished. His private mansion was turned into the Hotel Norwood, which, over the years, accumulated its own share of notoriety. But the mystery of what really went on during Norwood's time never truly got uncovered... until now.

    It's smart. It's easy to get lost playing with "fun" technologies (I'm super guilty of this), and never get around to building anything.

    So far Chromology is the standout track by a long shot: it’s funky, jazzy, and just plain fun. It reminds me of Native Construct’s Chromatic Aberration a bit.

    Unfortunately—and I say this as a Firefox fan—it’s not as safe as Chrome, even post-quantum. You can see some info here on the economics of Chrome exploits vs Firefox (Chrome exploits are worth more due to both a larger user base and higher “perceived security” (as that’s hard to quantify))

    The other interesting bit will be how their security models change. One benefit of Chrome/Chromium thus far is how much Google puts into securing it; there’s a reason it’s the browser of choice...

    The other interesting bit will be how their security models change. One benefit of Chrome/Chromium thus far is how much Google puts into securing it; there’s a reason it’s the browser of choice among security researchers.

    By maintaining a diverging codebase you lose that unless you spend quite a bit of time merging and refactoring around Google’s changes to the codebase. (This is already an issue with Chromium-based browsers as they’re only as secure as their update cadence with respect to Chromium’s code. This will aggravate that process).

    Annie is a hard one to beat :). I love the intro from Penny Rabbit and Summer Bear as well, but Summer of '42 may be my favorite over all
