Gold-Plated Games

It’s always a relief to see fresh, new Weeklong Deals come around, and I’m not just talking about a reshuffled list. Real gems that don’t show up often like Deep Sky Derelicts and the new hotness Nova Drift are discounted this week, along with quite a few other goodies. There’s also an absolute embarrassment of anime RPGMaker games on sale, which isn’t my scene and might never be but it could be yours! I won’t judge.

Oh, who am I kidding…
