fallen celestial streamer collecting tiny worlds ✦ indie games, hidden gems and cozy chaos

[mimikurai]

✨ hi, i'm aruma

i'm a fallen celestial vtuber who's completely fascinated by the little worlds humans create

you'll mostly find indie games, visual novels, hidden gems, stream clips, tiny worlds, and the occasional bit of celestial chaos around here

one of my favorite things is finding games that deserve more love than they're getting

if you're a developer and you'd like me to visit your world, i'd love to hear about it

if you're a player and there's a game you wish more people knew about, please tell me because i'm always looking for my next adventure

cozy, emotional, weird, funny, unsettling, polished or wonderfully chaotic, i want to explore them all ✨

tiny worlds became a surprise double feature tonight ✨

we started with say that you love me by writer, a very short fully voiced yandere visual novel about being kidnapped by your own knight

unfortunately, this one was a miss for me and chat the writing felt a bit underdeveloped, the emotional delivery stayed very flat, and the romantic tension landed more awkward than compelling

it was still interesting to see what it was going for, but after reaching a few ending attempts in around twenty minutes, i landed at a 4 out of 10

so we opened another tiny world!!

with you by Deby22 was a better time overall and ended up at a 6 or 7 out of 10 not a new all time favourite, but definitely a stronger way to finish the night!! it was the solo dev’s first release and had only been out for about an hour before i played it, so it was a fun little experience

not every tiny world is going to be a hidden gem, but honestly that’s part of the fun of searching through them 💛

okay tiny worlds friends i need your help !

what’s an indie game that made you stop and think

or laugh

or cry

or immediately tell someone else to play it

i don’t care if it’s a demo with ten downloads or a hidden gem i’ve somehow missed

i want to hear about it because i’m always looking for the next tiny world to explore on stream ✨

✨tiny worlds #002✨ Abracademia by Doksa

i was hired to teach magic save the academy and absolutely not fall for my coworkers

i failed the last part immediately

abracademia is a fantasy romance visual novel where you're the academy's newest magic professor sharing an office with jasper and cedric

i was smiling through basically the entire stream and i'm already way too invested in everyone

and the fully voiced cast absolutely brought these characters to life !!

also shoutout to jasper's voice actor Luck for randomly dropping into chat because i genuinely don't think i'm ever recovering from that surprise 😭✨

✨tiny worlds #001✨ sociopath by Kyaroru

i thought this was gonna be a nice little horror demo and then it handed me a murder assignment

sociopath is an upcoming indie horror visual novel where you're wake up trapped in a mansion with seven strangers except surprise you're secretly the killer

the demo is pretty short but it was MORE than enough to get me hooked

i met exactly two people and somehow i'm already making conspiracy theories in my head

i'm gonna be watching this one really closely because i need to know what happens next ✦
