To a T is a funny, unique, very whacky, puzzle-based-musical that I got to preview for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social after playing at @dayofthedevs.org: indiegamesplus.com/to-a-t-previ...
'to a T' Explores Life as Someone Stuck in a T Pose
to a T is a silly game about a teenager who is stuck in a T pose and needs to go about their day-to-day life with their companion dog.
