4 years ago, ads starring โจKathy Batesโจ tricked me into downloading Merge Mansion. I realized immediately the ads had deceived me, but kept playing anyway.

Re-watched the trailer I made for @gua-le-ni.com 's experimental game Doors. And really enjoyed the David Attenborough-eque narration I added.
