Left: the Stalker, from Tarkovsky's film Stalker, lies curled on his side on a mossy rock in a pool of water, as a black dog runs towards him from the distance.

Right: the Haruspex, from the game Pathologic, lies curled on his side on a bare rock atop a ceremonial mound, as a black-bodysuited Tragedian prances towards him from the right.

make sure the rat has Alert Cap set to 0 so it wont get frightened and run instead of ticking off objectives for you

ive heard you can make a game in like 48 hours, but i think instead of making it out of string you need to make it out of jam

Son of the White Mare — both for the odd feeling of old folktales and for the amazing, unconventional animation. highly resonant!

Higgledy piggledy
Timothée Chalamet
Has a name meriting
Endless design

Much like his forerunner
Benedict Cumberbatch:
Hexasyllabically,
Easy to rhyme

New demo arrives on October 13th.

How is the new demo different from “Quarantine”? In every way! The new demo is a slice from the beginning of the full game.

🕗 Starts Oct 13, 10:00 PDT

Read the full announcement below.

Last chance to add Quarantine before it’s gone!

i love that you are doing this again! the rhythmic prose of those tragedians was beautiful to read aloud in game. i cannot wait to see this latest stuff!

Outlier man, outlier man
Outlier man hates average man.
Hides in your data, lurking unseen,
Slanders average man as "mean".
Disrupting models his obsession;
Thinks fitting in would be regression.
He's one monstrous deviation,
A nightmare to each statistician.
Thats right! It's Georg the spiders-man!

im not blaming anyone. just noting out that its valid and legal in c to do so :D
