enemyofperfectI haven't been the best at keeping up with Dreamwidth lately, but have a couple of links to things I thought were cool!
One is Viridi, recced bypink_ink. It's the most peaceful little free game imaginable: you have a pot of succulents that grow in real time and don't need to be watered more than a couple of times a week (and will never die for lack of it! ETA: talkingtothesky reports that they do need weekly attention), and you can just sit there and watch them, or the snail that crawls slowly around the rim of the pot, and that's it. It's more of an excuse to gaze upon gentle green shapes than it is a game. I find it very soothing.
The other is the demo for Silicon Dreams, which is a game in development (and currently seeking backers on Kickstarter!) where you play an android interrogating other androids and recommending whether they be decommissioned or returned to work. It is not soothing at all; in fact, it's extremely creepy and dystopian. It's also pretty interesting so far! I had some glitch in my display that cut off half the dialogue, and I still played through both interrogations to the end.I feel so bad for all of these android babies!
