Why keep things so grim? The creator of the indie game label WSS playgrund has unveiled a fresh gaming label titled Baron du Juvenile. Its inaugural offerings, the spine-chilling adventure games Slay the Alice and Waiting in the Lime Forest, are now accessible on PC through Steam at $8.99 apiece.
In a recent announcement, the innovative label, Baron du Juvenile, deviates from the norm set by WSS playground. Instead, it emphasizes immersion into an artist’s creativity and individuality through an interactive approach that combines the roles of ‘creator’ and ‘player.’ The press release, with a hint of levity, states: “Why so serious? Said in a press release… This label will be guided by our new, enthusiastic editor-in-chief, who operates independently from WSS playground. Join us as we eagerly await the unfolding story of Baron du Juvenile.
In a recent communication, Tokumiya Miyamoto, the editor-in-chief, expressed, “Hello! Inside each of us lies a touch of youthfulness. By engaging in play, we enhance and cultivate this quality—that’s what Baron du Juvenile represents.
Here is an overview of the label’s first two games:
