Awkward Valley

Awkward Valley is a totally normal, definitely-not-a-time-loop daily planner sim! Each morning, drag activities from your trusty notebook into your schedule and hit "Start" to watch your perfectly (or terribly) planned day unfold. Will you be productive, exhausted, or just spiral into existential dread?  Featuring a micro deck-building mechanic, every choice shapes your routine. Convert fatigue into gains at the gym, fuel your soul (or just your stomach) with vending machine snacks, or attend therapy to process your life choices. As you progress, unlock new activities, modifiers, and Rue Valley-inspired oddities—because nothing here is ever truly normal. With illustrations by Awkward Yeti and a healthy dose of absurdity, Awkward Valley! is your chance to micromanage a surreal life – one scheduled breakdown at a time!

Rue Valley

Rue Valley is a deeply personal narrative game about a man's journey of self-discovery and resilience on his quest to break free from a mysterious time loop. Each day feels like an uphill battle against the shadows of your own mind. Along the way, you will encounter a captivating ensemble of characters, each wrestling with their own emotional complexities and revealing hidden depths as you get to know them. Memories are stored in a graph, unlocking intentions and mindsets as you progress uniquely through the story. Commit to quirky mindsets for unexpected and hilarious dialogues, and experience personality-altering Status Effects: become more outgoing when drunk, or extra sensitive when anxious.
