This game has its hooks in me so bad. It’s a point and click adventure in the style of the games I was into in middle school (stuff like King’s Quest and Maniac Mansion) and it’s SO DAMN GOOD.

I think I'll load up this old CD-ROM that I found in a thrift store yesterday. It's a banned game from 1995 called Forbidden Solitaire!

When @aceottorney.bsky.social first told me about this I said "this could change people's lives and stop developers from getting exploited" and having seen the final resource, I think I was not wrong. I'd call it a must-bookmark for indie devs.

So I’ve been working on my next adventure game. This is the first background image I’m sharing.

I figured I might as well earn the inevitable comparison to Monkey Island 😈
A brick cabin on a beach with several old boxes and barrels around it. In the background is a lighthouse.
