If you have half an hour free and fancy cozying up with a little something, check out the new free release of Clothes Line. This was developed for the 11th anniversary of adventure games website Indiefence, started out during the Adventure Jam 2023 but they didn't quite finish it in time but now it's here.

Story: "Rita lives a happy retirement with no direct human contact. Her cat Cross is the only company she has (and wants). She sleeps whenever she feels like it, reads, enjoys cooking... Until something breaks her routine: garments appear hanging on the clothes line shared with the apartment opposite, which had been uninhabited for years.

Who moved in? Will we be able to help Rita go back to her peaceful life?"

Watching the trailer . . . wow, I never knew a pair of socks and shoes on a clothesline could be so ominous.
