For context, a 9/10 from GamingBible means:

"These are the games that don't just get into our head and our hearts, but our blood and guts, too... the ones we'll be talking about as essential decades from now. We're talking Breath of the Wild and The Last of Us, Final Fantasy VII and Chrono Trigger"
🚨content creators🚨

Duskpunk just got a '9/10: Exceptional' on Gamingbible and we have Steam Codes available!!

- choice and text heavy RPG
- inspired by Citizen Sleeper and tabletop RPGs
- carefully manage your health, energy and stress levels in a world consumed by war

Duskpunk launches today. If you played Citizen Sleeper or Dishonored, but wished it was more about revolution, you should check this game out.

I shared this a few weeks back - a Citizen Sleeper like, perhaps the first?

I launch in SIX HOURS. Excited!

How would you survive, if you were worth more dead than alive?

In my new game Duskpunk, corpses are repurposed into fuel to power the War to End the World.

How would you escape that fate?

For folks who think Rockstar firing 30+ workers in the union isn't union busting - what do you think union busting would look like?

Do you think they'd come right out and be like "Yep, we're union busting"? Is that what you'd need to hear before you believed that's what they were doing?

It’s here! ’The Prince of All Rats’, Fallen London‘s Exceptional Story for November, was written by yours truly. I hope you enjoy the seduction of our self-styled prince!
"May I?" he asks, and he holds out a paw, his claws beckoning. He kisses the back of your hand.

The self-declared Prince of All Rats has the manners, bearing, and ambition to rule – and a personal interest in your acquaintance. Will you help the Fifth City to accept his claim?

The first(?) Citizen Sleeper-like launches in a few weeks!

Have had my eye on this and the demo was very much its own game with its own strong vibes. Definitely recommended for Sleeper fans 👇
🗣️ Release date announcement!!!

My Citizen Sleeper inspired antifascist RPG DUSKPUNK is out Nov 19th.

Survive on the streets of a Steampunk city consumed by war. Fate hangs in a roll of the dice. Will you join the ranks of the powerful… or become part of the revolution?

why do I distract myself from launching a videogame by designing and daydreaming about another videogame?

Brain borked.

Some of my favourite backgrounds from Duskpunk:
🎸The Arclight, a steampunk bar
💉 Opium-style drug den
🧐 Parliament, run like a crooked business
🚨The bluecoats caught you!

Anyone fancy storming the imperial palace?

In Duskpunk, my dice-driven RPG, you can help kick the Emperor off a balcony.

Or you can arrest him quietly, if you're boring.

After being buried for days, it looks like Duskpunk crawled out of the Nextfest labyrinth to reach the frontpage of CRPGs?

Or is this just random chance?
