   13 barn owls in a trenchcoat (hauntedowlbear@eldritch.cafe)'s status on Thursday, 10-Oct-2024 00:48:16 JST 13 barn owls in a trenchcoat

   Hey, I'd like to draw everyone's attention to the best #IFComp game I've played this year:

   Sextuple L
   https://lithobreakers.itch.io/latex-leather-lipstick-love-lust

   It's about kink, transmasculity, sex, self, and social horror, and the writing, setting, and characterisation are the most utterly perfect and true things. Also, shout out to a game actually set in the North of England for a change.

   It's a long one, but you still have until the 15th of October to give it 10 stars.

     I'm not competing this year, so I think I'm good with my sincere but hyperbolic recommendation.

     I think it's pretty clear that I don't expect anyone to go and give the game 10/10 on my say-so!

     @HauntedOwlbear Maybe giving voting advice isn't entirely in the spirit of the competition? (I agree with the recommendation to play this game, of course!)

     @victorgijsbers (I made it clearer that i was being hyperbolic just in case!)

     @DamonWakes Honestly, I feel bad that I didn't pay money for this and I really hope they put up a tip jar at some point.

     @HauntedOwlbear I was starting to lean towards my usual "rate five really short games for the sake of getting involved" approach, but this has nudged me to set aside two hours for LLLLLL at some point. (It was already one of the ones that had caught my attention through some great writing quoted in the forums.)

     @DamonWakes Oh, on the subject of IFComp games to play in the next 5 days, it's much shorter, but I really enjoyed Imprimatura, which does some really interesting things with text as a graphical medium (you'll see).
