Don't know if this technically fits here, but I've been LOVING "The Machine" [GBC] (lemmy.world)

Don't know if this fits since it's a new game for a retro console, but as a big collector of retro handheld stuff this has been a treat!

The Machne is a muti-ending RPG for the GBC where you play as GIRT, a denizen of The Machine.

It's seriously great, I've probably seen 10 endings so far and I've only just figured out how to ditch my factory job and live as an artist. I've killed people, moved drugs, sorted boxes, been rich, been homeless, rigged elections -- there's something for everyone.

They released both a physical cartridge and a ROM version that includes a .pocket file if you're rocking an analogue. Available here!

There's also a demo on itch.io

(Feel free to remove if this doesn't fit in retrogames!)

Looks interesting. Downloading the demo now to see if it works on GarlicOS on my RG35XX. My Analogue Pocket is due sometime next century I reckon.

Thanks for the share, will absolutely check this out on my RG353.

I love the idea of new games being made for older platforms - if I wanted to be more aware of releases like this, is there a recommended site or community that I should join?

I'm still looking myself! The developer looks to be starting a mastodon community (pocketpixels.club) where I found FusionRGamer which seems to have a decent collection of new game news (at least for the gameboy!)
