I’ve been playing Demonschool and loving my time with it, I’ll chat more about it on the Pass The Controller Podcast this or next week.
In the meantime, why not enjoy a Demon Ritual this week 👹

Obsessed with how this looks so far. I hope they knock this out of the park because I’d love to see a well done Zelda movie 🥹

Locking in.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard season begins in January, and $5+ patrons will get the first few episodes early.
