That low-angle Frieren trend?
Yeah… the Queen wanted in.
We warned her it was hard. She did not care.

(Blame SpaceDev1 for the trend).

A little reminder from the throne room:

The Dark Queen of Mortholme is nominated for Best Bite-Sized Game at The @indiegameawards.gg and she’s honored to sit beside such wonderful indie gems.

She promises to behave during the ceremony.

(We do not believe her. But we appreciate the effort.)

My 5th fav game of 2025.

(What I didn't note in that super short description was the whole thing is surprisingly emotional. Special game. This is the kind of experimentation in the field that I live for)

Somewhere in the halls of Mortholme, the Queen looked at the Hero and said,

‘…again?’

But this time, the loop brought good news! 🌟

A polite little Somnian creature insisted we show you this trailer (it was very stubborn about it) ✨

Stories of Somnia, by @lydiangames, is joining the Monster Theater troupe: a 20+ hour RPG woven with secrets, Dreamkin, and magic arts.

Arriving in 2026.

We hope the dream finds the right people!

Last night's Atomic Owl stream was good fun. Frustrating at times--THAT GAUNTLET OF DOOM, AUGH 🤬😓--but ended up BEATING THE FINAL BOSS! Woohoo!!!

Also, found some glitches that @monstertheater.bsky.social should definitely see. 😆Still a fun game overall, and that soundtrack--SO GOOD!

Last night's Atomic Owl was good fun! Had some good runs, even beating the final boss and discovering THERE'S MORE. Definitely going to stream this again next Tuesday to get further in the runs/story!

Also got this hilarious little clip/glitch. Tumbly Owl goes WHEEE! @monstertheater.bsky.social
