Note: I have not played most games on this list, they were included based on premise. Some are cozy, some are horror-based--make sure to read descriptions, content warnings, and reviews before playing! They also have different price points. Some are free, name-your-own-price, or might have community copies available, but most are under $15.
This list is absolutely not exhaustive, there are HUNDREDS of games out there! If you have any suggestions, let me know and I can add them to the list!

They broke out of the woods, kicked their horses to a gallop, and dashed away. But before they were out of sight, the first hunter looked back over his shoulder and called, just as though he could see the unicorn standing in shadow, "Stay where you are, poor beast.

In the quiet confines of my own mind, a suffocating sense of entrapment settles in, like invisible chains pulling tight. The walls close in with each breath, their weight heavy and unrelenting. There is a gnawing urge to break free, to cast off the layers of pretense and expectation that bind me. I yearn for liberation, a release from this constricted existence into a boundless expanse where I can truly be myself. I long to be enveloped in the pure, unfiltered essence of joy, to immerse myself in the mysticism of happiness. This elusive state, so rare and radiant, promises a sense of completeness, a moment when the soul feels unburdened and alive. In this pursuit of self-discovery and fulfillment, I seek the profound freedom to embrace who I truly am and experience the transcendence of authentic contentment.
Hi, could i request a white unicorn moodboard inspired by Medieval unicorns, deep woods, and maybe some celestial/starry imagery if you can fit it in? Thanks!
- the earth and all it's creatures are dying as we speak and yet I remain eternal. death surrounds my very existence. i will remain until this world is lifeless and i will walk its pathes forever.
- because my appearance is one of an older depiction of a unicorn (closest to unicorns in The Unicorn Tapestries), most art does not reflect it. it's goatee, lion like tail, long thin horn, and CLOVEN HOOVES!! THE CLOVEN HOOVES ARE VERY IMPORTANT
did another drawing of my kintype, this one is a lil more accurate and you can actually see my face, lol. I have another one cookin but I've gotta finish the shading on it :P
