Figured an intro/pinned post was in order.

I'm Patrick - Senior Discovery Scout at UK-based indie publisher Playstack. It has been my great honour to sign games like Balatro, Abiotic Factor, Lorn Vale, Unbeatable, and many more unannounced titles!

Please talk to me about JRPGS and Final Fantasy 🥺
