Wonderful game - draws you in like a minor key bad dream and doesn't let you out until you've slowly unwound its tendrils. And thanks to industry legend @jon.inkle.co for giving me my first ever video game writing credit (amongst lots of other folk who submitted stuff 😊).

I wish we lived in the timeline where 'getting your hand stuck in a pot' was just as fundamental to games as exploding red barrels

It's a shame Martin Hannett died in 1991, i think he'd take one look and be like "yep"

Danielle Scott-Haughton Dies: BBC Commissioner Worked On β€˜Peaky Blinders’ & Agatha Christie Adaptations Danielle Scott-Haughton, the BBC drama executive behind series including 'Peaky Blinders' and Agatha Christie adaptation 'Towards Zero,' has died.

Like everyone who knew her, I am completely heartbroken by this awful news. Dani was an uncommonly kind, brilliant & wonderful human being who did so much for so many. A genuine force for good, who gave the best hugs in the history of the universe. RIP Dani.

Reviews at the time seemed to get really hung up on the idea that it wasn't a true open world because there are loading screens between sectors? But it absolutely is an open world game, and one of the more original ones in recent years.
