This is the twentieth entry in the Scratching That Itch series, wherein I randomly select and write about one of the 1704 1741 games and game-related things included in the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. The Bundle raised $8,175,279.81 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. This particular entry in the Scratching That Itch series is also an honorary member of the Keeping Score series, which discusses games and their soundtracks. Lastly, as always, you may click on images to view larger versions.
Our next random selection from the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality is Don’t Move, by STVR. Included in the download is the Extended Original Soundtrack, also composed by STVR, which means this post is also an honorary Keeping Score post! Don’t Move’s tagline in the bundle reads:
Ninjas, failure, and player investment manipulation.
I like that Don’t Move is up front about the player investment manipulation, and isn’t trying to pretend it has the player’s best interests at heart. It’s refreshingly honest. It makes me want to try out the game… hey, wait a minute!
