Boiling Steam ☛ Rain Code - A New Danganronpa?! Review on GNU/Linux and Steam Deck
Rain Code is a recently released game on PC after a first incursion on Switch.

In many ways, Rain Code is just another take at making a Danganronpa game without the branding, and without the Monokuma character. But all the elements are there.

Itch Corp ☛ Gaming Like It's 1929
This jam is open to both digital and analog games – choose the medium that excites you!
For digital games, we’ll only be judging games that are playable in the browser. This includes interactive fiction using frameworks like Twine. and storytelling game platforms like Story Synth. You can submit desktop or mobile games but we won’t consider them for prizes.
For purely analog games, we’re looking for tabletop RPGs, larps, board games, and everything in between. We encourage you to design something short and quickly playable. Our judges are only committed to reading the first four pages of your submission. Golden Cobra and Game Chef contain great examples of brief, compelling games.

Everything, that is, except a Captcha, those annoying “Are you a human” tests where we’re all expected to do a search giant’s image classification for them. So here’s [Guillermo Rauch] with a Doom captcha, in which you must gun down three bad guys to proceed.
