In about 30 minutes or so I will be exploring some #SteamNextFest games live on Twitch. Might split them up to multiple streams depending on how long I want to go on for!

It'll be my first stream back since like... early September. Please don't be mean to me. Thank you!

Beyond R (Steam demo available!) @beyondr.bsky.social · 6h

Beyond R: Rule Ripper on Steam

An evolving death game set in a bar, where getting to know its players is the only way out. Each person hides one of the game's rules. Discover them through their pasts, tastes, and finding hidden clues, then face them in an all-out discussion. Only three can survive, unless you fight back.
