Though we didn't have a booth this year at Gamescom, this very cool panel by BTS was at least a tiny presence. Maybe next year again 🔜💜

I was at Gamescom last week in @behindthescreens.bsky.social 's wonderful panel about psychology in games, talking about how we depict trauma in Blueberry. Thanks again for the invite, it was super interesting and fun!

Ich freu mich total über die Birbs an dem Futterspender auf dem Balkon, aber die prügeln sich teilweise schon brutal ums letzte Korn.

Ein Comicstrip in der die Hauptfigur Futter für Vögel auf dem Balkon streut. Die Vogelmafia überrascht dabei mit brutalen Handlungen.

Short preview ⬇️⬇️⬇️

If there was one game that really caught my attention during Steam Next Fest 2025, it was definitely Blueberry, which presented a very interesting narrative. In it, we meet a character named Blueberry, who is trying to navigate her life, cope with her life traumas, and understand how life experiences and individual moments have affected her. The demo version showed our heroine primarily as a child and teenager, but we also had the opportunity to see in the beginning that she became a mother and is trying to somehow deal with this situation. The game intrigued me so much that I decided to reach out to the creators from Mellow Games to learn more about the game. Studio director Mel Taylor answered my questions.

Did a lovely interview with somhrac.sk who asked super thoughtful questions.
