Sunday Loot: Afternoon Road Trip for New, Exciting Games

Happy Sunday, friends! You’d better pack your sunglasses and a few snacks, because you’re invited to join us for a relaxing, scenic ride today. We’re on our weekly search for all the latest people and projects in the gaming industry that are taking some serious risks, and boy, do we have quite a few surprises in store for you this time around. Make sure your seatbelt is securely fastened before continuing!

Today, we’ll be pulling over for four brand new games and one job opportunity that’s open to any interested applicants. These particular games are either available to play for free (as demos), offered at an affordable price (under $5!), or haven’t been released yet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t keep our eye on them as they grow! It’s always important to support the work of smaller projects like these. Let your faves know how much you appreciate their efforts!

As always, if you know of an inclusive gaming space or games project you’d love to see promoted on our Sunday Loot series, drop us a comment below or check out our contact list! We’d love to hear from you, especially about new and exciting spaces where all gamers can hang out. ✌
