Myst FPS is a hilarious dig at the classic adventure game, and it’s free on Itch.io

March 14, 2023RockPaperShotgun

Over the last 30 years, the classic adventure game Myst has been rereleased in countless forms, resurrected in 25th-anniversary boxsets, VR takes on the game, and even a full remake in 2021. But the power of the internet determines that nothing is sacred, and even the point-and-click Myst can be turned into the point-and-kill Myst FPS. Yes, developers Steven Nass and Peter Henningsen have released Myst FPS on itch.io, a free browser-based shooter that’s a good laugh, and an even better shitpost. Read more

Crypto copycat store duplicates Itch.io, gets slapped down by founder

June 30, 2022RockPaperShotgun

The creator of indie game storefront Itch.io has called out a website that appears to have taken the site’s code for itself and begun selling creators’ games without permission. Dubbed ‘W3itch.io’, the copycat site’s creator replied to a tweet from Itch.io founder Leaf Corcoran, who promptly asked them not to “rip off” Itch.io anymore. W3itch.io even described itself as a “free-as-freedom open marketplace for independent game creators inspired by Itch and Gitcoin”. Not the most sensible of ideas to engage with the person whose work you’re replicating, W3itch.io. Read more

TFI Friday: 3 free Pico-8 games with good titles

April 16, 2021RockPaperShotgun

Last time I did one of these (which was a few weeks ago because I’ve been away, whaddaya want from me?) I said I was going to go and poke around on Itch.io, because they have as much – indeed, probably more – porn than Steam, but they don’t try and surprise me with it by pretending it’s something else. And I did go poke around on Itch! None of these game are porn, though. They’re a collection of fun Pico-8 games you can play in browser, and my other abitrary way of linking them this time is that I…

The store mostly sells DRM-free downloads, but plenty do come with keys you can slam into Steam too. I have some recommendations. (more…)
