FINALLY i got to gush about how good Heaven's Vault is somewhere other than social media! Lovely, rare treat to be back on Tales from the Backlog.
New on Tales from the Backlog- @duckvalentine.bsky.social is back to deep dive Heaven's Vault! It's a remarkable feat of storytelling, and learning the in-game language was a blast. As always, no spoilers for a while!

When it comes to a wedding guestlist people always ask if you have a big family but they never ask how podcasts you’ve done.

Thrilled to have worked with so many talented people and even more thrilled to get to call so many of them friends.

Winter Burrow takes a welcoming approach to survival games. However, if you expect a purely cozy experience, you'll be in for a rude awakening.

Warmth and chill conspire together to keep me wanting to play more.
