First, thanks for the community, it was really needed after the slop hell that was the Steam Next Fest.

I have a lot of weird games but if I posted them all I would get kicked out for too much self-promotion, so I decided to show the one that's more fun to play, and free: Sayonara Sigil Sentry.

This game is a bullet hell boss rush with a twist: instead of shooting, you have to draw a magic rune by marking points on the battle arena:

You know that moment on bullet hell games in which you find a sweet spot you can camp on safely and mash the "shoot" button? That doesn't happen in S3. You will have to be moving constantly and planning ahead to get the rune right.

The insanity doesn't end at the gameplay. Screw high-end Unreal Engine graphics, we have collage art made from free stock images. The game also has a bizarre lore mashing up Costa Rican and Galician folklore with eldritch horror, conspiracies... and a subtle, elegant critique of genAI itself...

Ok, maybe it's not that subtle.

Who the hell am I kidding, this is straight up Luddite Midwest Angelica.

Available for free on Steam and Itch.

Looks amazing, wow. Added to my library.

Also, feel free to post more of your games here! If you follow Rule 3 and don't spam the community with your games, then there's no problem with gradually sharing them all.
