🍽️NEW GAME ALERT🍽️

Bounty as great as Earth could only hang upon the warming tray of the universe for so long. A new patron has arrived from parts unknown and demands a feast.

Pray that whatever we provide is enough.

I've decided I'm going to perform despite the death threats. It's going to be my first performance accompanied by armed security, which makes it a little easier to be brave. I need to perform this more than ever. Plus it'll be the most punk thing I've ever done.

Ro Salarian writes so many truths in this piece that I know myself and others will find themselves within.

There's strength here, even amongst the dread, and if you have the time, I ask you to share it.

Something that's stuck with me about that score is something that @jadedjessie.bsky.social pointed out, which is that "Life" is inexplicably (and wonderfully) a Star Trek theme??

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!

Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.

Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

Like a game? Comment away!

Feeling some kinda way about what Magic The Gathering is becoming?

they are two happily consenting adults, and this piece is not promoting any kind of sexual activity that involves any realistic risk of death or serious injury because they literally separate and cuddle afterwards so.
