Treasure Chest: April 2021

Since we released a seven-part report on NaNoRenO 2021 last month, we unfortunately had little time to look at many additional games. But at least five jam submissions and one indie game found their way into our hearts this month as well, which is why we recommended them on our Twitter account! We hope you will like them as much as we did.
