'Slave of God' is a glitchcore club simulator and should almost definitely not be played if you have photosensitive epilepsy. Puts the willies up me.

'Puzzles' is a work of very clever design and an example of Lavelle's formalism at its best.

'Promises' is an eerie little logic game like a quiet nightmare of an Amiga game.

'Oíche Mhaith' reminds me of 'Blue Jam' in that it is a little daft and glib, but also simultaneously moving. Exploitative but earnest. I am not sure about its characterisation of the Irish family.

'Untris' - backwards Tetris.

'American Dream' - the dark heart of capitalism! Now 200x more addictive! Collect stuff! Buy shares in celebrities! Do insider trading at wild sex parties!

'whale of noise' - a genuinely relaxing and meditative experience using tones.

'Hush' - a clever little experiential metaphor. Play it.

'The Terrible Whiteness of Appalachian Nights' - really ♥♥♥♥ed me up. Trigger warning. Juddery.

'Therapy Game' - a tiny little narrative game. Potted but worth while for 2 mins.

'Theatrics' - absolutely brilliant. Puzzles can be solved either through narratology or through logic, but really shows how the former is dependent on the latter. Not really a story creation tool, though that's what it looks like. Quite the opposite, in fact. Really like this one.

'Brain Damage' - Gave up before the end. Nasty. Some of you lot might like it though.

'Home' - an empathetic experiment in very limited interaction. I like it, but many don't.

'Almudy Park' - a very limited adventure game, but a sad one.

'Judith' - a famous one. A first person retelling of 'Bluebeard' that looks like Doom.

'Opera Omnia' - I think this one is really intelligent and just beyond me somehow.

'Untitled' - The stupidest vision of Hell I've ever seen. Utterly daft, but a singular experience nonetheless. Just on the aggressive edge of playable. Most of the game is getting your fingers and eyes to do what you want them to do. Features a rain of underwear.

'Robot Arm' - A really satisfying little puzzle game made with Lavelle's own Puzzlescript engine. Neat.

'The Serpent' - One of his disturbing ones. Probably triggering. Really claustrophobic and paranoid.

'Gesture' - A tiny walking simulator through a crystalline frozen landscape. So I don't know why I found this one so moving.

'wear & tear' - Another little emotional fable. Like the jaggedy graphics for this one. Feelings pleasingly "smooth" to play. One of Lavelle's poem games I suppose. Unusually direct and with a soft emotional punch.

'Perfect Family' - Hee ~ great fun with creative commons! I like his occasional paint software nonsense.

'Flickgame' - It's a tiny little powerpoint-like piece of game creation software. Really caught on at 'Glorious Trainwrecks'.

'Shower Game' - an immersive showering simulator! reminded me of being a kid and emptying out different bubble baths and shampoos and trying to make potions with them. I like the way that it transfigured the olfactory into the visual! A game for fans of Lush.

'Bedrooms' - floaty and voyeuristic.

'Subway Adventure' - an epic journey the like of which Lavelle hasn't made for some time. Feels genuinely exciting (and frustrating!) to explore. Very simple, but lovely.

'anesthesia' - not wholly convinced this can be completed. A softly deadening mash-up of 'Candy Crush' and 'Tetris'. I wish I had a wooden block puzzle version of this.

You forget "a story about a cat"

[CupCupBaconBox]

Sounds like a bunch of weird, nerdy games with limited appeal.

no love for "find the butthole" and "find your butthole"?
