    videogamedunkey is officially publishing a video game.

    The first game from Big Mode, the popular YouTuber’s new indie publishing company, is Animal Well, from developer Billy Basso. Big Mode describes the game as a “dense, atmospheric, puzzle box world with multiple layers of secrets,” and it’s also filled with animals; in a video, Dunkey says Animal Well will “delight you with some of the coolest animal interactions I’ve ever seen in a game.”

    You can wishlist Animal Well on Steam and the PlayStation Store now, though a release date hasn’t been announced. You can get a brief look at the game in Dunkey’s best of 2022 video. (I think it looks great.)

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2023 is now live.

    The annual weeklong speedrunning event for charity has officially kicked off on the Games Done Quick Twitch channel. This year’s event promises to be a good one — I wrote some few runs I’m excited for here. But it will also be a little bittersweet, given it’s the last event for GDQ founder Mike Uyama, who spoke with my colleague Ash Parrish about his departure.

    If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.

    Card Shark made our list of ten recommendations for games from 2022 to try on your Nintendo Switch. And now, a sale has dropped its price from the usual $19.99 to $13.99.

    As Jay Peters explained in his review, it’s good not only because it’s playable in short bites, but also because cheating is encouraged.

    The cheats start small, like wiping the table in a certain direction to tip off what your opponent’s strongest suit is, but, by the end of the game, you’re stringing together multiple techniques in a row in complex schemes to win a round.
