Mindscanners 💊
By @theouterzone.bsky.social
A unique game of futuropsych interventions. I love how Mindscanners approaches the ethical considerations of trying to maintain or change people's minds. A thoughful game that has the potential to be cathartic for survivors of psych malpractice.

I’ve finished another needle felted piece of terrain….all made from wool :-) It’s so satisfying!

Great to see my artstyle being interpreted 🦌
Always wanted to see a castle in Death Howl - thanks!

We did a artstyle exploration study in Uni for our new pixel art game. I made one in the style of #DeathHowl from @11bitstudios.bsky.social

Death Howl - @theouterzone.bsky.social

We fell in love with the trailer and the game itself lives up to it. Beautiful visuals, satisfying "soulslike deck builder" gameplay and a fascinating world.

“Death Howl doesn't just work, it's extraordinarily clever in the way it captures a familiar soulslike loop within the framework of a deckbuilder.”

🖤🖤🖤 Thank you PC Gamer!

I couldn't picture how Death Howl, a soulslike deckbuilder, could possibly marry the two genres—until I played its Steam Next Fest demo

Then my face got smashed, now I'm a believer.
