Dominion of Darkness - simulator of the dark Lord/Lady
(I am an author of this game. I am not a shill, game is 100% free, there is no premium content, full game is avalaible without paying - this is work of passion and feedback is my main motivation).
"Dominion of Darkness” is a strateg/RPG text game in which the player takes on the role of a Sauron-style Lord of Darkness with the goal of conquering the world. He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy networks and sectarian cults, recruit agents and commanders, corrupt representatives of Free Peoples and sow discord among them, collect magical artifacts and perform sinister plots. Note – one game takes about 1 hour, but the premise is that the game can be approached several times, each time making different decisions, getting different results and discovering something new.
Game is avalaible for free, online: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion
I am constantly improving the game, adding new content and mechanics, so Your feedback would matter.
If you are hesitant to play the game, I invite you to watch/listen to the reviews:

Dredge
www.dredge.game DREDGE | Fishing Adventure GameDREDGE is a single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent. Sell your catch, upgrade your boat, and dredge the depths for secrets.
Anybody playing this game? I got it a while back on Steam and can't believe I've been sleeping on it. It's oddly relaxing and fast paced at times; requires thought but also is mentally relaxing. 9/10 great fun game that allows exploring without hand holding

Stardew Valley 1.6 is here. Patch notes ahoy
stardewvalleywiki.com Version History - Stardew Valley WikiStardew Valley was released on 26 February 2016 for Windows PC after almost four years of closed development. Linux and macOS compatibility was released in a free update on 29 July 2016.
A great game, and a massive patch list. Could be good fun for a returning player, or new players.
For those that haven't tried this game, it's very addictive and very fun. I've got 150+ hours on it, and I'm not done yet. Good fun as multiplayer too!

store.steampowered.com Save 40% on Cat Box Paradox on SteamIn this fast paced retro platform game, you must think fast as you run, jump and swap colour, making your way through 8 floors of challenging and amusing colour changing mayhem.
Give it a try if you like challenging, but fair platform games with a fairly unique mechanic.
- www.gog.com RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Inspired by Dwar
The game probably needs no introduction, but hey, a story generator sim colony type game.
Bizarre and lots of fun. Whether it's getting attacked by pirates, or angry rats, fighting infections or drug addictions to save your colonists. I feel a little part of me dies every time I lose a colonist. Intense.
I'm 83 hours in, and barely getting started. It's wonderful.
Have you played RimWorld? How long for? Any interesting stories? (the steam reviews are a gold mine for this)
- store.steampowered.com Save 50% on Valheim on Steam
A brutal exploration and survival game for 1-10 players, set in a procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by viking culture. Battle, build, and conquer your way to a saga worthy of Odin’s patronage!
Absolute bargain price if you ask me. Played over 250 hours of Valheim. A great immersive game, and at this price, a bit too good to say no to if you haven't tried it.
Highly recommend.

Project Hospital
store.steampowered.com Project Hospital on SteamBecome an ace doctor, an aspiring architect and a successful manager at the same time. Design your very own hospital, tweak every detail or choose one of the prebuilt scenarios and just jump to the doctor’s duty.
I absolutely love this game, and the music always makes me smile. The main tune is one of the best game songs I know :).
To oversimplify, it's Theme Hospital for adults. Complex, serious, and some times stressful when you have a collapsed patient. I end up favouriting my collapsed patients as I really need to know they get better and make it out ok.
I have 70+ hours play time from this. Really well made game. Needs more love.

Sharing this because it's a game I've played and enjoyed. Multiplayer isn't there and local co-op is buggy, but pretty fun for single player.

Cassette Beasts - A great indie monster catcher
store.steampowered.com Cassette Beasts on SteamCollect awesome monsters to use during turn-based battles in this open-world RPG. Combine any two monster forms using Cassette Beasts’ Fusion System to create unique and powerful new ones!
I mean, we've all seen some hype around recently about games in the genre, and I wanted to share this because it's awesome. Been playing it recently, and it definitely scratches that Pokemon itch, while being unique in its own right. Made with a lot of love, and also on Godot. What's not to like?!

Check out the Veridian Expanse dev build!
So I've been working part time for a few years on a sci-fi themed game called Veridian Expanse. It's a bit of a mashup of exploration, metroidvania, and crafting games where you are trapped inside of an asteroid. You can download the latest dev build from itch.io for Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi 4:
https://howlingmoonsoftware.itch.io/veridian-expanse
I've been making dev builds for a while, but I'm starting to get more serious about getting feedback. Also... as a solo dev I have no idea how to tell people about my game, so I'm starting in cozy places like Lemmy and Mastodon. :) Anyway, if people want to give it a go and let me know what you think I'd be super grateful. :D

Fun Fact: The game's source is GPLed! I'm guessing 99% of people don't care, but I don't see any downsides of doing this when I don't plan to use DRM anyway. I can't imagine it will hurt sales. On the other hand, maybe someone will use it to play the game on OpenBSD, Haiku, or some OS that doesn't exist yet.

novena: a poem that is a game that is a poem
Interactive fiction at a solo dev scale is often really really linear. This game structures around that well, I felt -- the repetitive nature of what you're doing is the point, what makes it meaningful even in the absence of alternative choice.
