Glad that I still have zero clue what the movie is about, hopefully I can watch it blind.

wanted the original post to be clean for aesthetic reasons, but this project was originally tagged under #REMgame.

and since I'm doing tags, let's see... it's an #indiegame, #narrativegame, #firstperson #3Dplatformer, built on #godotengine. #gamedev

People who don't make games will never understand the camaraderie that game developers feel for each other. We're all on the same team. For us, celebrating studios closing is like celebrating your teammates losing a really tough game.
