I’ve been struggling to play new games, so I asked on twitter for recommendations. Many people responded, but looking through threads is shitty, so here we go!
I recommend to open the links in a new tab
(some games are impossible to play nowadays, so instead I put some music into the link)
Let’s start with the (very few) browser games that got suggested!
You can play them right now! In your browser! Wow!
