Caput Mortum from @wildartsdevs.bsky.social and Black Lantern Collective is a unique horror experience. The control scheme wasn't for me, but with modern controls, the game is fantastic.

The tactility of Kaizen: A Factory Story from @coincidence.games and @astragames.bsky.social makes it incredibly satisfying to build and tinker. If you love automation games, it's a must-play. 9/10.

The Long Walk from @lionsgate.com is an excellent @stephenking.bsky.social adaptation and Francis Lawrence's best dystopian film. It's devastating. Go see it. Vote for great low to mid-budget films with your wallet at the box office.
