Saying the quiet part out loud

A grand piano, an evolution of an earlier instrument named ‘fortepiano’ - meaning ‘loud-quiet’

What I love about Phantasmic is how it’s a knockout AND a king of the hill game. The king is in both a seat of power and of vulnerability.

Tension is abundant, as you can find yourself as close to winning as you are to losing!

I can answer this!

EARTH MUST DIE is about a dumbass authoritarian dictator, and the whole game is deeply, unashamedly anti-fascist in nature.

The GOOD news is, if you're a fascist, most of the jokes will go over your head and you can just look at the pretty colours? 👍

Steam forum post for EARTH MUST DIE. The question is raised "Is this game political? or will I be able to enjoy it and escape from this dire reality for a moment?"
