The announcement that this game would be coming out made me go back and start catching up on final fantasy VII ever crisis because lord knows that game likely won’t be around forever

Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00

💔DEATH OF THE HEART💔
second vinyl pressing now available for *preorder*
If you missed the window for the first pressing, you can grab this SMOKE RED VARIANT (lowkey might be my favorite 👀)
GO PICK IT THE F#%K UP!!!!

Graphic of JER sitting on a staircase, they’re in color while the background is black and white. Their leg extends out to a solid black bar to the left of the image that says second pressing. Between them and that is the smoke red vinyl halfway out of the vinyl. Above them is the word mark for the record death of the heart. Below them is a wow bubble that says “out now via bad time records” in it and at the bottom is a link that says www.badtimerecords.com

I'm taking the next couple weeks off of looking at or posting anything to the Internet so I can finish Escape Velocity. If you see me posting and that post isn't "book's done!" I want you to yell at me.

I may repost this Ko-Fi link to help out with new bills from time to time.
