LOL death march to Christmas is REAL. Happy real thanksgiving to you!
lol don’t hate that idea either.
I both love and hate that idea so friggin' much.
It's killing me and the team to not be able to talk about what we're working on (yet), but I can say that October has impeccable vibes for what we're cooking up! 👻

Since we finished stray recently, time to introduce another game for stream aside from AC Odyssey and Minecraft.

Super exited to start Lil Guardsman!

I imagine it’s epic (even if it’s a repeater!)

Make one good decision: get Lil’ Guardsman at 60% off as part of the #SteamAutumnSale

...Then enjoy making hundreds of terrible ones in-game! Insult royalty. Jail a tree. Befriend a goblin (maybe).

It is 2066: 36 years after a catastrophic geomagnetic storm disrupted the world’s power supply and caused world-wide chaos.

You are tasked to keep a solar mission on track, and secretly, to discover a saboteur. Will you trust the right people?

Thank you! I always have to remind myself there’s not a bullshit algorithm on this side suppressing posts with links :)
Thank you for this public service announcement.
That's a real stretch but I'll allow it. :P
