Our murder mystery adventure game The Mermaid Mask is coming Summer 2026!
That means we're going to be in the upcoming Steam NextFest, with a refreshed demo (see Adam's post below) and more to share soon!
The demo is up on Steam already:

And yet, so many see illness as some kind of retribution, something deserved, whether it's a heart condition, or cancer, or diabetes, or HIV, or TB.
'It's kids growing up in too clean environments' people have told me about my asthma.
Anyway. It's a great read. Hopeful, weirdly enough.
The book has me reflect not only on the injustice of TB, but also on how much of health we attribute to moral (or racial, or religious, or national) superiority, perhaps because the truth - biology simply does not care - is so terrifying.
'Oh but they did so and so wrong' — So what? Many do. (...)
And I say *still* because as Green lays out, 1) it has been so, with very few interruptions, since antiquity and 2) we (as in, humanity) have very good treatments and protocols for prevention that could as good as eradicate TB quite fast and comparatively cheap.
We don't. But we could.
I recently learnt we in Finland get free eBooks in the E-library app and I just finished @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social 's 'Everything is Tuberculosis'.
So if you didn't know; you can read eBooks for free on E-kirjasto, and the world's deadliest infectious disease is *still* tuberculosis.
Went to our local #IGDA meetup yesterday to let people try out the first day of Nights of Cloaks and Lights and I had multiple testers react with 'NO, it can't be over yet! I want to know what happens! which I will take 🎭

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett casually confirming that 2D of Gorillaz is non-binary now is not what I expected from this album promotion cycle but y’know, yeah, cool, good for them!
