Cairn (WIP)
Just played Dark Queen of Mortholme and frankly, it's 20 minutes of cool. If anyone has super short (=< 1 hours) pearls like this to recommend, I'm all ears

Playing Dredge and obsessed at how both cozy and utterly tensing this is.
Like the weird mix of existential dread and joy of daydreaming aimlessly for 2 hours, loving this and carefully planning the next 4 hours of it.

Some press are already skimming through Mangione's gaming history, looking for his 8000h spent on Doom eternal to explain the killer beast inside
digging around in the suspected shooter's gaming history has been an amusing way to spend a day, but like @rcmacleod.bsky.social, I really don't think it accomplishes much

That's it, we're going public. The demo for Cairn has been out for a good 12 hours already and there's already a goofy speedrun category for it.

Go out and play, people ♥
