the runes are supposed to be just nonsensical shapes that just looked cool + i ended up treating the background as an exercise for textures and patterns ^^

Expedition 33 is so thoroughly inside my head giving me brain worms that I keep saying "An advantage." to myself when I pick up random objects.

Milk from the fridge? An advantage.
5p coin that fell on the floor? An advantage.
My keys after I finally find where the hell I put them? AN. ADVANTAGE.
