Me – A Tale of Paws and Leaves is an adorable RPG puzzler.
There have been many games coming out lately that help players learn about and deal with the range of emotions that we experience throughout our lives. From the emotional rollercoaster that is a long distance relationship in “A Fold Apart“, to overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles in “Celeste“. The virtual world has truly been going after the heart lately. The same can be said for “Me – A Tale of Paws and Leaves”. This is another wonderful title that gently guides us through the turmoils we face from day to day.
In “Me – A Tale of Paws and Leaves”, you play as a fox named Me, and must explore the land around you with the help of your trusty butterfly, Ani. Ani will be you adorable yet slightly verbose best friend. The game is experienced through memories, seemingly to aid in the idea of overcoming that which looms over us all, a fear of death.
Although tackling some pretty hard hitting and emotional issues, the game never loses its sense of humor. The beautiful graphics also give a sense of peace and wonder as you explore with you overly-wordy partner. Me also has the ability to control the seasons, which adds a nice touch to the varied gameplay. For instance, you will actually have the choice to take a nice swim across a pond in your path, or simply freeze it and stroll right over.
Me – A Tale of Leaves and Paws is currently still in development by indie studio Grown Arts.

Japan’s indie game festival is just around the corner, and here’s what we know so far!
For those who don’t know, BitSummit is an indie game festival mainly for Japanese indie game developers. We at myPotatoGames cannot get enough of our beloved Indies, so we are quite excited to see what’s in store at BitSummit 2019, or BitSummit 7 Spirits. This is the seventh (obviously) running of BitSummit, and should be a rather huge event, as BitSummit has been growing since it’s inception. There will be many new games featured by Japanese indie devs that will even be playable.
A bit more about BitSummit…
This event will be so large, in fact, that Nintendo themselves will have a booth. While Nintendo is not an indie company, they have recently made it their business to support indie devs in creating games for their platform. At this booth, Nintendo has already revealed that they intend to feature such awesome Indies as Cuphead, Untitled Goose Game, and Slay the Spire. Seeing as how Cuphead (more info here) and Untitled Goose Game (more info here) are already on out Potato radar, we will be sure to keep an eye on what’s happening at this years BitSummit.
The event will be held on June 1st. and 2nd., and will run from 10:00am to 5:00pm. This festival will be held at Kyoto’s Miyako Messe convention center, so if you are in Japan, or plan to be in the near future, this is one gaming event that you’re not going to want to miss. However, if you’d like to view it without traveling internationally, keep an eye out for BitSummit Roadshow, the virtual satellite stream of the event.

Button City is an adorable game created by a tiny indie game studio. The game focuses around a fox and his friends who work together to save their local arcade. The cute as a button look, adorable animal friends and a promising gameplay make Button City an indie title we want to keep our eyes on ( literally we can’t look away from all those cute gifs. )
The plot of the game is unusual and had us wanting to know more about the game in an instant. Button City fulfills all the criteria of a promising indie title, beautiful and colorful graphics, even cuter characters to meet and interact with, as well as lots of stuff to do and most important, two developers passionate about their project.
The indie title is still in its early stage with only a little over a year in development. But Shandiin, one of the developers behind the game has released tons of art to admire.
We will be sure to keep covering Button City as it moves forward in its development cycle. If you want to take a looksie at all the cute art out there, make sure to follow their official Button City Twitter ( we are also on Twitter 🙂 )

Untitled Goose game is one of the most bizarre and interesting video game ideas in recent years. While there is little known about the game, the few things we do know just keep putting smiles on our faces here at myPotatoGames.
Untitled Goose Game first received its attention back in the end of 2017 when the developers sought out to their community for help to name the game. Now more than one year later the game still has no release date other than sometime in 2019, but we have a bunch of memes that we can enjoy until the game comes out.
It’s a Lovely morning in the village, and you are a horrible goose.
Untitled Goos GameThis is the introduction House House, the developing studio behind Untitled Goose Game has provided. A rather crass introduction to an extremely rude and sneaky goose. The game puts the player in the role of a… horrible goose, set inside a lovely town full of friendly, completely unaware people minding their own business.
Amongst fans of the game, Untitled Goose Game qualifies as a stealth game in which the goose will have to sneak up to the villagers and fulfill certain quests. These quests, you may have expected it at this point are basically little mean tricks to get the villagers to do certain things.
Snapping the hat right off the poor guys head while gardening, might be a quest a player will see. We can only imagine how fun it would be to sneak around the bushes, snap the hat and run away on our tiny splish-splash goose legs.
Unfortunately Untitled Goose Game has no release date other than a vague sometime in 2019. However, we do know the game will be coming to PC and Nintendo Switch sometime this year and we can’t wait to start goosing around. For now you can enjoy the launch trailer and watch the mean, but oh so adorable goose in action.

Plantera is a farming-style clicker game that was released in 2016 by indie developer, VaragtP. With a “Very Positive” rating and over 3,000 reviews on Steam, it is easy to see why the developer has announced plans for a Plantera 2. Once finding out about this, myPotatoGames approached the developer to find out more information about the popular indie game sequel.
There is not much known about Plantera 2 as of yet but there are some adorable screenshots to help give an idea of what to expect. As of now, there are two animals that have been officially announced in the game. These two animals include an adorable round cat that throws up hairballs and fuzzy pink llamas that drop fur.
Excited for the new animals, myPotatoGames seeked out more information from the developer. @VaragtP told us that Plantera 2 will consist of about double the animals and plants as the first game. There will also be a new category of items and a big tree that will grow during gameplay and give a new kind of currency to use for plantation upgrades.
With this exciting news, we are looking forward to hearing about a release date which is still TBD. Stay tuned to myPotatoGames for more information on Plantera 2 and other games. Happy Gaming!
