It's a horror game where you need to inspect cabins and cast your vote if they are haunted or not (so you need to look at everything VERY closely)

📅 October 16th
- Switch
- PS4 & 5
- Xbox Series X, S, and One🔥

Background noise is great for studying - it can mask distracting sounds and boost concentration

We’ve added some to our productivity game for you to use while you work - including rain, fan and bird noises! 🌧️🐦💨

If you play rain sounds, you get your own little cloud! 🌩️

I'm obsessed with how coins feel in games.

Currently polishing the ones in Slots & Daggers to feel as physical as possible. Anybody have good "coins in games" references?
