Hanging out with the boys in the Blue Prince house. I'm trying to start a game of darts but they're too busy doing arithmetic on the board.

So excited to share these covers that I worked on for the @evernightbooks.bsky.social edition of @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social's Southern Reach series!
Amazing to work on new covers for these books - I've definitely referred to Annihilation as a dream project. Thanks so much Yas for art directing!

Is there a good descriptor for the type of story—which I mostly encounter in chamber horror and time loop thrillers—where the protagonists interfacing with and attempting to circumvent The Rules is the focus of the story?
I'm thinking especially of Talk to Me, It's What's Inside, Russian Doll, etc.

Just released a super minimal, layout-free version of this game for the minimalist ttrpg jam! Could reasonably be described as "show-and-tell meets the X-files in an anime high school," but it's also a lot more than that
