What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Idiot Maiden (PC)

February 18th, 2023

I'm so glad it's Saturday, and the start of a three-day weekend to boot! It's nice to not have the weight of work immediately hanging over my head. Plus, the weather seems decent enough to go outside today, after some snow a couple days back, so I'm hoping to take advantage with a walk over to Starbucks this afternoon.

Yesterday was a really nasty work day, so once I got clocked out, I ordered a pizza and played Idiot Maiden, a game that I'd downloaded on a whim from itch.io. If you'd like to play it, too, here's the link!

Idiot Maiden was a cute, pleasant, sacrifice and summoning themed RPG Maker game, focused on puzzles rather than combat, and I really enjoyed the hour or so I spent with it! The puzzles themselves were decently easy, but not in a condescending way, and I liked the pixel art quite a bit. It was really nice, especially for a free download.

Before bed, I played Warioware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ for a little bit and got kind of frustrated that I can't unlock the last of 9-Volt's games. I might move forward and come back to it, more for my own sanity than because I think it's an undoable goal.
