  1. #MangaMonday 117 “Short Game” by Mitsuru Adachi

    While Major League Baseball enters the All-Star Break, check out this collection of Adachi’s #baseball short stories.

    Adachi has been putting out #manga since about 1970, and he’s best known for sports and romantic comedy, often together. This collection of stories all involve baseball, but rarely are about baseball. Instead, it’s the means of assembling the characters, most notably in “Over the Fence,” which makes it generational.

    Between the, er, longer shorts are short shorts of about five pages. These can be quite meta, e.g. “Detective Fivepages.” They also have the most tenuous connection to baseball, if any.

    This volume (Denpa) is a translation of a 2014 collection. The copyrights put most of these in the teens, with one short short dating from the eighties. Amusingly, the second oldest is from an Adachi thirty year retrospective.

    This is the sequel to the game The Dreadful Journey. It's a point and click text adventure where you have to make choices to determine the outcome of the story. It will have multiple endings, just as the previous game, with one of the endings being the true ending.

  3. Haven Park is free today on GOG. I've been meaning to check this out based on its apparent similarity to A Short Hike. How Long To Beat says it's 3 hours. Maybe something for @shortgame?

  5. I'm here to show something more of this #shortgame that's almost ready!

    It's a #puzzlegame about two version of the same videogame: as you can see one made well, and one made badly.
    I want to show you the two developers who are fighting for the ownership of the game.
