A Date with Death
Release date (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Steam)
English: December 7th, 2023
"You're just an ordinary person... or so you thought. For your entire life, you've been narrowly avoiding death by pure luck... or is it something more? When a strange program suddenly appears on your computer, and someone claiming to be the Grim Reaper says he's come for your soul, your life as you know it is thrown upside down.
As you delve deeper into the mysterious man that calls himself the Grim Reaper, you begin to wonder if fate brought you two together for a reason. Can you resist his charm, or will you fall for the one destined to take your soul?
A Date with Death is a supernatural romance chat simulator visual novel about the week long bet you enter against the Grim Reaper to attempt to keep your soul. Create your own character, from appearance to pronouns, decorate your apartment, and spend the (possible) last week of your life getting to know the one hunting for your soul."
This is a free game by Two and a Half Studios! You can get it from itch.io here or from Steam here. There is also an optional DLC for purchase which includes additional features.

The Apple Pippin? Yeah, it runs Doom.
The Pippin was one of those many failures of '90s Apple before the iMac-led revival - a game console manufactured by Bandai running MacOS classic off of the game CD, with the aim of being a multimedia box like the wildly successful Phillips CD-i. It failed to reach those lofty heights and was snuffed with a terrifying immediacy with the return of Jobs and the end of the "Mac clones" program in 1997, just a year after launch.
This project hooks up a "fake mac-formatted" hard drive that the Pippin was able to recognize, allowing for the Mac port of Doom to be run.
Incidentally, the Mac port of Doom's source code leaked out the other day. Interesting stuff!
Thanks to DeathEgg for hipping me to this!

Royal Order
Release date (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Steam)
English: March 29th, 2024
"The Sval, pirates of the utmost north, are wreaking havoc all over the continent of Igrith.
Vowing to bring an end to their endless plundering, three kingdoms send forth their royal heirs to the High Council, a powerful and influential faction of magicians, to plead for their help during this time of crisis.
The High Council oblige, creating the Royal Order, and the heirs remain; however, political tensions are high as old grudges resurface between the three kingdoms. And, as the pirates continue to have their way, they are determinedly bound to reach their breaking point.
Play as Aarya, the newest member of the High Council, and help manage the Royal Order.
Can you put an end to the Sval’s pillaging while keeping the kingdoms at peace? Or will you bring nothing but war upon them?
This game is an indirect sequel to 'Royal Alchemist'. The story takes place in the same world, but follows a different cast. Both games can be played separately from each other."
This is a commercial game by Nifty Visuals! You can buy it or download the demo from Steam here, or from itch.io here.
