This is the game that made me fall in love with indie games. As a teenager I had been investigating doujinsoft, and I came across this well before cave story. it's simple, it's short, but games like this helped create the indie market we know and love.

This is beyond nostalgic to me. I remember playing this on my old PC. I loved it so much back in the day... It's a short metroidvania with a very unique feeling about it.

Momodora
Momodora"Momodora I is the first game in the Momodora series. It's very old and really unpolished, so it's advised to play the sequels instead. It's meant to be challenging like an "arcade" game. I hope you enjoy it!
