With the relaunch of the website, the time of our monthly Jam Reports came to an end. But as we still do small recommendations without any written article for many jam and indie games on our Twitter account, we thought we should revive the monthly report series under a more fitting label. Those of you who already followed our work in the past few years may remember another compilation series we did: The Treasure Chest! Here it is again.
Our plan is to give all the smaller recommendations we did on Twitter a monthly compilation article, so that you can find them all in one text – including images or GIFs, descriptions and links. As we have to go through our whole archive since August 2019, it might take a while until we are completely up-to-date and make it a real regular thing, but we try our best. After all, we are curators as well as archivists. For now, please enjoy this compilation of fifteen games!
