ANATOMY is a game about a house that’s alive, alone, and hurting. A house that slowly tears itself apart.
I made a video about its beauty, its horror, and the quiet sadness hiding behind its tapes:

Guess what's out today!! I've been working on this patch for awhile and I'm so excited to share it! It adds polish, quality of life, improved visuals, and some new features. If you've been waiting to try For Mother Matron, there's never been a better time!

Voice acting character reel!
Warm, friendly, and engaging? Check.
Bright, confident, and energetic? Check.
Young, old, or in between? Check.
Hero, villain, or guy-running-late-for-the-bus-again? Yep, me too.
If your casting calls for any of the above and/or more, then high chance I'm your guy!

I just wrote a newsletter using a couple emdashes — as one does when writing something a lil more "serious" — and had someone proof-read it. They made a face at each one and told me to switch them to commas just to be safe and not read as AI.
But, but the emdashes worked better... 😔
