What Is dunin.itch.io?

Updated

dunin.itch.io is the itch.io community profile of a creator named dunin, who publishes a large catalog of small, mostly browser-playable games and interactive experiments. It is a personal creator page rather than a storefront or a single game: the page lists dozens of titles across simulation, puzzle, adventure, interactive fiction, action, and visual novel categories, each with its own game page. If you are looking for a specific dunin game, want to browse short experimental games, or are checking whether a title you heard about is playable in a browser, this page is the right starting point.

What the page actually contains

The profile is organized as a feed of game entries. Each entry shows a title, a short tagline, the creator handle, a genre label, and often a "Play in browser" note. That last detail matters: many of these works run directly in the browser without a download, which is typical for small jam games and interactive fiction on itch.io.

From the page evidence, the catalog includes:

Patterns worth knowing before you browse

It is a game-jam-heavy catalog. Several entries explicitly reference Ludum Dare (the Godfather game from LD30, Profession: Chair de Poule from LD33, The Grand Carpet Hotel from LD32) or other short events (octocomp 2022, "Jeu en 4h"). Jam games are typically built in a weekend, so expect short, experimental, sometimes rough-around-the-edges experiences rather than polished commercial releases.

Many titles are local-multiplayer or two-player. L'heure du toast is described as an interactive fiction for two players and two computers; IDENTIKIT is a draw-and-search multiplayer game; Detective-Playing Game and Everybody knows where the Godfather is are both for two players; Bombe à Rebours is a one-button multiplayer game. If you want a solo experience, check the individual game page before committing.

The language mix is French and English. Titles and taglines alternate between the two, and several works are clearly French-language (Le Meurtre de Monsieur Distant, Pantaléon, Cher journal). If language matters to you, read the game description on its own page rather than relying on the profile feed.

Not everything is a game. Paint of Persia is described as a rotoscoping pixel-art tool, so the profile also hosts creative utilities alongside games.

How to use the page

  1. Open dunin.itch.io in a browser.
  2. Scan the feed for a title or tagline that matches what you want (detective story, puzzle, multiplayer party game, tool).
  3. Click through to the individual game page to see controls, player count, language, and whether it runs in the browser or needs a download.
  4. Use the "Play in browser" label as a quick filter: entries with it should launch without installing anything.

The main snag is that the profile feed gives only a one-line description per title, so details like player count, language, and controls are usually only on the game's own page. The page evidence does not show pricing information for any title, so check each game page if cost matters to you.

Who this page is for

This profile suits players who enjoy short experimental games, game-jam entries, and local multiplayer curiosities, and anyone who wants to try a specific dunin title in a browser. It is less suited to someone looking for a single large game or a curated storefront, since the page is a chronological creator feed rather than a catalog with filtering.
