ROLAND’S WICKED WEDNESDAYS 2024

[headstone]

Didn’t get scared enough this October?? Need some horrors (positive) to console you over the horrors (negative)??? Me too. I bring you…… a chance to get spooked in the comfort of a friendly Discord call. Or, at the very least, watch me try and fail to solve puzzles. Coming to Wednesdays near you, this Nov/Dec only.

These are ALL horror games (though the style of horror, subject matter, and format varies.) Most of them are queer in content, as they were largely (with a few exceptions) bought as part of the Queer Games Bundle 2023.

I have never played any of these games before and in many cases am going in sight unseen other than info on itch.io. I can’t give content warnings for anything beyond what is listed on each game’s page. I’ve linked the pages so you can check for yourself and gauge your comfort levels. I also can’t vouch for any of the creators as people as I know nothing about them. I am simply giving some games a shot; hopefully it’ll be fun!

Streams will begin at 5pm PST and be hosted on a private Discord server. Feel free to drop in and out. Voice chat will be on unless the group gets too big, which I don’t anticipate.
