The Gunk is on sale for like $2 right now and a good time; Stories: The Path of Destinies isn't a fun little rogue-like or a choose your own adventure/action-RPG, but is also sorta both? Headlander is weird. Moonlighter technically has <20 hr story, but I put more into it. Evoland?

The 5 lightning talk speakers sit on a set of sofas at the front of a lecture theatre

British DiGRA is starting off nicely. Looking forward to the following days of interesting presentation and conversations. @poppywilde.bsky.social and other hosts are treating all of us well and not forcing us in any way to live-post our very real excitement! #BDiGRA25
