The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is currently 50% off on GOG!
A bargain opportunity to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.

We had the pleasure of sitting next to Jana during AdventureX, she was super nice and very funny, what an awesome dev! And I got to play Mops and Mobs too. If you love point and click games you should really try this game out, the dungeon crawling and card mechanics are easy to learn and super fun!!
Listen up, fans of adventures, visual novels and narrative games: The @adventurex.bsky.social Steam event is on - and Mops & Mobs is part of it. We feature a reworked demo of our dungeon adventure!

Wow, fuck Rockstar. Regardless of the unfair dismissal stuff, banning staff talking about their hobbies just before another 6 months of crunch is just cruel. What a toxic workplace.
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

AdventureX was a delight! We had around 80 or 90 people playing our demos, and this gave me great joy!
Made new friends and contacts, got some excellent advice, and discovered many new games.

Writing games is just coming up with as many silly scenarios as possible that a bunch of people can get into hijinks with.
