Just finished playing the #SteamNextFest demo for Eyes Out' Sleep Awake and I must give it a shoutout! It's basically an audio-visual nightmare simulator. If you like how Remedy does transmedia storytelling + gritty horror vibes, then look no further! Real curious to see how the full game pans out!

Being this bummed after watching that latest Mission: Impossible was not on my 2025 movie bingo card. But hey! At least Weapons was pretty good!

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make

The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme
