I'll be honest, I saw PewDiePie play a fan game that Thomas Brush made, and then I heard he had actual original titles and a whole YouTube channel. I decided to watch his channel while learning to develop my own games and heard about Pinstripe and Neversong. I now own them both.
Pinstripe is a short but bittersweet title about a man named Ted and his adventure into Hell to save his daughter from the clutches of the evil Pinstripe. It's a simple puzzle-platformer and collect-a-thon with a pleasant but dark art style and very atmospheric music. Also features the talents of several online personalities. Takes about 4 hours to complete the story, about 6-7 to 100% it. Highly recommend if you've got a free evening!
Only gripe is that given the choice of the voice actors and the overall unique narrative, there was a strange focus on potty humor that kinda didn't sit well with me. Also, achievements didn't work on Steam.
