DAWN OF CLARANDERA Written by Meihan Boey But some thugs attacked the Scarlet Curtain and the mage died heroically defending me. However, he never broke the spell, and I am still a bunny. If you pay $29.99 for the full package for me, you get access to my questline, should you choose to accept it. Gamers often underestimate my quest – after all, itʼs a quest to undo the bunny spell for the cutesy whore in the Scarlet Curtain. How hard could it be?
HE IS YOU, SHE'S FOR YOU by Hana Yaacob
Press “Y” to Reboot by Noor Tannir To play shooter games is to die, to kill. To play is to participate in death, even in grief. In the game mode I play most, Reload Zero Build, the rifts keep you away from final elimination. In Fortniteʼs traditional mode, Battle Royale, once a teammate is killed they are replaced with a card that waits for pickup.
ALL THE SKIN(S) YOU LEFT BEHIND by Sarah Mak and Nic Chan “The Mystic Legends servers have permanently closed. Thank you for playing!” Now the game is definitely dead, for good. You knew that already, but you just wanted to be sure. You still wanted to pinch yourself to remember that youʼre living in the real world, where pain lasts and matters. You canʼt live in your childhood memories anymore.
Less than three stars by Jack Xi Discounting the poor framerate on NPC walk cycles, which makes background stair-climbers into jittery zombies, this lack of non-stair options isnʼt an issue for our non-disabled protagonist. But I feel horror like a scream rise within me: in this city like mine, with its selfies and slang, where are the people who move like me — who limp, or crawl, or wheel?
All the times I was Dragonborn by Nuraliah Norasid Perhaps itʼs because I never saw the Dragonborn as a proxy for me, but as someone who exists “alongside” me. To be alongside is to share space and movement without hierarchy – to accompany rather than command. The Dragonborn is not just a mirror of my desires or a conduit for adventure.
The Last Bonfire by Myle Yan Tay & Natalie M. E. Tan
Side-Scroller by Ken Liu As a result of the switch, the side-scrolling platformer turns into a third-person action-adventure, and you discover elements of the environment hidden from the side-view: impassable mountains turn out to have tunnels, paths open up between multiple planes that are flattened into one from the side, enemies reveal new weaknesses, and so on.

The Short, Sweet Life of Commander Brian by Gabriela Lee WINʼs hum stills. “What did you say?” You repeat the word to her. It echoes in the small space of your HUD. “You must never say that again,” she says. WINʼs tone sends a shiver down your spine. You express dismay at her words. “Iʼm serious, Brian. If they know you know that word, youʼll be killed. Or worse, deleted.”

To The Last Gram is a beautiful portrayal of an important issue that will resonate with those who have a monstrous relationship with food. — Abigail on Goodreads
A wonderful comic about the insidiousness of disordered eating and the difficult journey of recovery in a society where body shaming and diet culture are so often masked as 'healthy'. — Jade Armstrong, Food School

Through her school days, where she must negotiate a precarious balancing act between her culture and fitting in, to her teenage years where appetites must be managed to keep up appearances, to her early adulthood where responsibilities feel overwhelming, Divya journeys from feelings of emptiness to finally finding fulfilment within. "To the Last Gram" is an honest and hopeful story of feeling at odds with and finding a home in one’s community, family, and body, and of the yet-unfurling journey to embrace the fullness of life.
