Life as a brain worm, January 15, 2025
Related reviews: less than 15 minutes

This is a relatively brief game where you simulate life as a Brain Worm.

It was entered into the Neo Twiny Jam, with 500 words or less, so each part of the game is pretty sparse.

You wander around different areas, with options to do things like change aggression of your host, switch hosts, or eat brains.

No matter what you do, you'll likely die soon, with a screen showing what you could have achieved.

There were some funny bits, and I liked the variety on replay. I did find it difficult to tell if my actions were having any real difference or not, though.

Parasite adventure, June 10, 2024

A Mind to Call Home is a tiny adventure where you play as a Space parasite worm, jumping from one host to the next (or not) in hopes to live a long life an die of old age. There seem to be three major deeds to achieve between four hosts. So you need to balance your health and the host’s to get to them. I don’t think it’s possible to do more than one at a time? Some seemed easier than others (I reached one of them on my first run).
