This is the one hundred ninety-ninth entry in the Scratching That Itch series, wherein I randomly select and write about one of the 1741 games and game-related things included in the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. The Bundle raised $8,149,829.66 split evenly between the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund and Community Bail Fund, but don’t worry if you missed it. There are plenty of ways you can help support the vital cause of racial justice; try here for a start. Lastly, as always, you may click on images to view larger versions.

This is Rainbow In The Dark, a series about games that actually contain colors. As always, you may click on images to view larger versions.

Reader, I must apologize. It wasn’t my intention to have such a long break between posts in the Rainbow In The Dark series. In fact, shortly after writing the last entry on Knockout City, I started playing D-Pad Studio’s Owlboy, intending to make it the subject of my next post.
