Hi there /rGames
DEAD LETTER DEPT.
About The game:
DEAD LETTER DEPT. is a 1st person typing horror game, with a big emphasis on mood building and atmosphere. You’re tasked with processing mail that failed to be recognized automatically by computers- whether it was because the handwriting was terrible, the letter was damaged, or something possibly worse. As time goes on though, the mail begins to get stranger, sometimes almost feeling like it’s talking to you directly…
The demo is about 30 minutes long. And since I’m admittedly playing around with a weird concept here, as well as aiming for a more subtle horror concept, I’m extremely interested in hearing feedback. (Feedback options are available in the game, but posting it here is also great).

Primary solo dev here, Mike Monroe of Belief Engine, with writing …
Hi r/Games!

Official Launch Date Announce Trailer: https://youtu.be/aDgABEa475k
It’s Ocean Drive Studio’s first game, and everyone at the studio loves the genre so much that we have actually invested much more than we initially planned. We love hearing from the community, and we had two betas and two demo tests - For every test we have collected feedback via survey and the forum, and adjusted our schedule to make sure we are reflecting the feedback to further improve the game!
Game Overview:
Hello r/Games! I’m one of the developers behind Spiritfall and I’d love to share some details and news of our October Beta starting this week
📝 Sign up for the next Beta - Beta begins October 13th
Spiritfall is a fast-paced Roguelite with combat inspired by Platformer Fighters - a mix between games like Hades or Slay the Spire with games like Smash Bros. or Multiversus.
We are still ironing out the best foundation of the game but we are on track to release the game next year in Early Access.
I posted about our previous beta in an Indie Sunday a couple of months ago, since then we received some feedback and made some changes and improvements to the game. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts!
Amongst the changes and new features:

General Overview
In this game you build a castle and manage its citizens and resources. Your goal is to destroy the enemy AI castle (played by over-the-top voice acted characters) on the other side of the sidescroller world. But becareful! The enemy will launch giant sieges on your castle requiring you to build defenses.
And then there is the additional threat of diseases caused by rats and citizens turning to crime. All these require a strong ruler to deal with. Hire falconers and appoint guards, make sure the citizens have a varied diet and extinguish fires when they ignite.

Not too long ago, I had asked for recommendations of 3D platformers much like Mario 64 or platformers that other subscribers reccomended that ‘feel’ like that era of games.
I compiled a recommended list of wellknown and obscure platformers you can find on PC. Some from the community, some from research and content creators, and most from community recommendations.
Please let me know if you have any other suggestions and I will add to the list. Thank you to everyone who answered my previous post!
Honestly, I deeply love twisted metal, and I miss it a lot sometimes. Some days, I just want to get in a car in a closed off arena and blow people up/get blown (up).
What do you all recommend?
For me personally Manor Lords, Cassette Beasts, Homicidal All-Stars and 9 Years of Shadows really caught my eye as their presentations were extremely good and very fun to playthrough as well.
Hey r/PCGaming!
Today I was reading a post here about a 40 year old text-based game that was released and it inspired me to do a 25 USD Steam give-away!
The full give-away details:
Simply post an answer to this: Have you ever played a text-based game, or even heard of one? If so, what game? Or just type anything in this post, any text will be randomly picked to win :)
Winner Selection:
I will be using a random reddit comment picker, so while I will read each and every one of your gaming memories, the winner will be randomly chosen.
When will the winner be chosen?
Approximately 2 days from now on Tuesday, October 11th @ 9pm CST.
Notes:
I enjoy playing these types of semi-realistic shooters with campaigns, even if they end up being a bit cookie cutter I really just enjoy playing campaigns, doesn’t matter much if they’re long or not
I don’t enjoy games like doom or halo very much (I don’t like futuristic shooters that much)
Bonus points if there’s weapon customization and the guns are relatively modern and not ww2 or completely made up
I’m looking for a game where your main task is to be a shopkeeper, but not a simple merchant that just buys stuff in one place and sells for higher price in the other, but rather crafts the items he’s selling or growing his own crops etc.
I’ve played Graveyard Keeper which was to my liking, however Saleblazers for some reason don’t quite cut it for me, probably due to graphics combined with 3rd person POV. Something like Shop Titans but more advanced would cut it, similarly to Netflix’s Moonlighter. The crafting can’t be overcooked-like as presented in Goblin Gearshop
