Promise Mascot Agency is out now! We didn't know if we'd get to make another game after PK, now 4.5 years later, here we are.

PMA is way too big for a small team to make! We were idiots! But we did it with the support of amazing people, and working with lunatics! I couldn't be happier!

Seems pretty good. There's a coop element to it which is fun

Playing a Resident Evil card game which is a total time capsule. All the art is renders or screenshots from The Mercenaries 3D (which is a secretly excellent game)

Love the aesthetic of Psycho Dream

The English localization of Psycho Dream is coming out this week. The original version is on NSO in NA and Japan, but this new version has some extra features like cheats and an art gallery. The game was directed by Kenichi Nishi, who went on to found Love-de-Lic and direct Chibi-Robo!

A picture of two stills from the movie Ratatouille, from Horst's background stories when he says "I killed a man with this thumb." The first still is captioned with "I killed a man" and the second is captioned "with this thumb". The second still has Horst's thumb covered up by Pinky☆, a severed finger mascot from Promise Mascot Agency (video game), looking cute with disarming hearts floating nearby. The text "thumb" in the captioned quote is covered up by the text "Pinky☆!"

This is one of the best games I played last year. Laugh out loud funny, surprising, really well paced and a lot of fun. For the size, length, and what it tries to achieve, Kinki Spiritual Affairs Bureau is essentially perfect. Delightedly double dipping.

Here's my gift to true #MetalGearSolid fans: a full scan of "Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes Survival Guide In The Darkness of Shadow Moses", published in Japan in 2004. It is one of the most unique videogame guidebooks ever created. Archive link and book highlights below ⤵️

From Killer7 to Deadly Premonition, Japanese game creators have intrepidly explored the theme of mental illness in a variety of genres. The title I wish to approach today is a lesser known reference - a memory, if you will, which the collective conscious has long repressed🧵
