Terminei 1000x Resist!

muito tocante e sincero, com muitos temas sendo trabalhados e nenhuma resposta fácil. aqui não tem moral da história, apenas introspecção. a "decisão final" (a única do jogo, aliás), realmente me pegou de jeito, passei muito tempo ali refletindo

Ce matin j'ai envie de faire une déclaration d'amour à @sunsetvisitor.studio, 1000x Resist est l'une des expériences narratives les plus fortes que j'ai vécu. La profondeur, la richesse de ce que raconte ce jeu vidéo est exceptionnelle, c'est la science-fiction que j'aime. Hekky grace sisters !

Just beat Citizen Sleeper for the first time after having it lay dormant on my Switch for so long. Now playing the sequel.

Duskpunk, a Citizen Sleeper-like with shades of Dishonored and Blades in the Dark is out now!

I played it prerelease and I think Sleeper fans will get a kick out of playing something similar but different…
My survival RPG Duskpunk is OUT NOW on PC!!

The war left you with two assets: your life and your sanity. Keeping both will prove a challenge.
