I'm super excited to share that "Headliner: NoviNews" will be a part of a segment about educational games airing on NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster! I was interviewed about the game and my thoughts on the future of the industry. Here's the teaser reel with Headliner in it at 40sec: https://twitter.com/nhk_gamegenome/status/1731282132322983982 The full programme will come out on Jan 10th.

Hello Headliners, We noticed an interesting trend in some recent reviews, specifically referring to the game's commentary on COVID, or imply it was man-made, or how certain president used it as political tool... So I just wanted to clarify: this game came out in 2018. COVID wasn't even a rumor back then. Frankly, I'm not sure if I should feel flattered or distraught so much of the game came true and people are noticing parallels. Honestly, it's been a really, REALLY weird two years watching so many of my hyperbolic, unrealistic scenarios slowly grow more timid compared to reality. But here we

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33367165/fab06a9267f1649528b1abe501895b5e2770f065.jpg Many of our fans were asking for it, and it's finally here! The Official Soundtrack features 37 moody and atmospheric tracks. And, best of all, we're donating the proceeds to the Washington Epilepsy Foundation, as per request of the composer who is struggling with the illness. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33367165/02c3b9489c806b512264ba7a27dba1f8c45fca84.png Check it out Here!

We'd like to share early access to the new version before it goes official, and in turn ask you let us know if you run into any bugs or glitches :) What's New?

Unexpected joys? Me? Why, I can certainly help you out there. In the last week I’ve received a temporary cat, found an excellent red corduroy jacket for six quid, got my copy of Dessa’s book signed at a gig and… oh, you meant games? Well. Well, fine. That’s fine. Have a round of Unknown Pleasures instead. Spoilsports. Without even bringing up the best thing that happened, this week’s roundup of the best Steam releases you haven’t heard of includes desert flyers, desperate liars, and desktop spiers. (more…)
