Warp Door's February 2017 Round Up
If February 2017 has a motto to spur us along it is "EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK," which is the title of one of the games in this month's round-up. Other games seem less optimistic about the future, having us instead break reality into two or three, or spend our time throwing rocks into a space portal (better that than dwelling on existentialism).
There are also a lot of games that are very Warp Door this month: David Kanaga's dog opera Oikospiel, the quiet lunar exploration of Living With The Moonoliths, and the fragmented textual memories of uncomfortably to name a few. Have a browse through our entire selection below. And if you want to find more convenient collections of games such as this check out our round-up tag.
