Good luck ;)

The one thing that's even better than supporting composers on Bandcamp Friday is when you get a lovely unexcepted email saying thanks for the purchase 💙

I love that our haunts overlap!

One of the least cursed spots in Resthaven is the Black Pony Tavern, named after the real-life Black Pony in Toronto’s East End, which the writing team has quietly adopted as our remote office.

We are also riding that creepy cozy line!

Tringa too. You and I are both the “airport dad” stereotype :p (I.e. obscenely early for no reason)

I resemble this remark.

What happens when you mix a gothic horror mystery with:

🕯 adventure game DNA +
🧪 Potionomics/Recettear-style trading +
🃏 card-based puzzles + resource management?

You get Curse of Resthaven.

Our first #ScreenshotSaturday! Wishlist and join the expedition.

Thanks for sharing and for all of your support!

This was one of my favourite games of 2024. A comedic Papers, Please style game with a beautiful art style.

That’s toxic waste in the don river, right there lol

Happy Friday! Toronto’s finally getting its first warm-ish weekend after an interminable winter.

On behalf of the #CurseOfResthaven team, go outside. Get some air. Maybe do a little fishing.

And if something ancient rises from the depths, well, that’s between you and the lake.

now THERE'S a great looking website.

But do you go to developer websites?

My feeling is that 90 percent of the time you don't need one, but then there's a submission form that won't go through unless you fill out the 'website field', and at that point you want it to be something cool :P

Happy Friday! The Hilltop website just got a face lift thanks to @balbontino.com and the good folks at @wearecontinue.bsky.social.

Do people still go to websites in 2026? Unclear. But ours now has CoR stuff and looks very slick if you feel like clicking around.

#CurseOfResthaven

Two weeks since we announced Curse of Resthaven. Still foggy. Still cursed.

If you missed it, come see the strange new frontier we’re charting. Wishlist it on Steam, Dev Diary #2 drops next week.

And seriously, thanks for all the love so far! store.steampowered.com/app/3796150/...

So grateful for GDC's support of Curse of Resthaven by @playhilltop.bsky.social. This one is going to be something special...

Thank you so much for boosting the signal of our game. So excited about going even further with CoR’s accessibility!

A man holding a torch looks behind him. There is an old woman holding a card and a girl with a butterfly on her face in the background. Title says, “Curse of Resthaven”

And wrapping up the developers making a difference is @playhilltop.bsky.social, makers of the witty & accessible Lil' Guardsman. They just announced their NEW GAME: Curse of Resthaven. We took an early look & think it’s great! Definitely check it out here: [https://tinyurl.com/CurseOfResthavenSteam]

And on that note, I'd also like to announce that I'll be doing 3 charity streams throughout March for @dames4games.org! Join us starting March 11th for some gaming and fundraising! Interested in learning more about D4G? Check out their website and all their initiatives here: www.dames4games.org

The problem is loads of games take a few months post launch to work out the kinks. Def not a PC replacement. But it’s great on the road!

Dude for indies it’s a BRILLIANT gaming rig.

Traveling with my #SteamDeck and on a lark installed the current Curse of Resthaven dev build ahead of schedule.

Booted it “just to poke around”. Still plenty to optimize, but far less broken than expected. I just love gaming on handheld. Cool feeling!

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow (2022)

That first shot has real Disco Elysium energy

Excited that we are making our dark, alternative games together at the same time, my friend!

Worth a wishlist! Made with passion, care and talent.
