A great little goopy treat
What are you doing for the next ten minutes? Nothing much? Alright, here’s what you’re doing: playing Greaser, a wee free visual novel about riding a Cronenbergian biomechanical motorbike along an endless unreal desert highway. It’s playable in your browser sokick-start on over to Itch.ioright now. I don’t know what else you’re doing this morning that’ll get your engine running more than adventure, self-discovery, and erotic motorbike maintenance.
Do also check outDomino Club’s great Twitter threadwith bespoke awards with artwork for each jam game. They’ve certainly made me more curious about some of them.
Fans of body horror upon endless cursed highways might fancy checking outArchive 81, a horror serial fiction podcast (which Netflix loosely adapted into a show, which they, of course, immediately cancelled). A mini-series following Season 3 explored an extradimensional highway with a pal who lost his body to a supernatural payphone system which offers favours in exchange for flesh. Season 3 mostly focuses on different characters in the same world as the rest so I guess you could skip to that then roll into Left Of The Dial but all of Archive 81 is good in different ways. I like how dramatically it shifts between seasons. Lots of fun body horror in other places, too.
