We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

I honestly wouldn’t mind losing to any of these games. They’re all so good!

A Case of Fraud is a new Roottrees-like (I guess that's a genre now?) from @hesperusgames.bsky.social where instead of filling in a family tree, you're filling in an organisational chart.
Great for Roottrees fans, but also as an introduction to this type of game. Watch our review below!

New review! Today we're being mean about @freeze.ltd's new team-based tactical shooter, and the group of people we got teamed up with when we tried it out.
Weird community, weirder vibes, kinda weird video. 4:3 aspect ratio looks nice, though!
