Happy to see Repose being recognized!

My inherent bias for sci-fi horror aesthetics aside, Repose's blending of survival horror mechanics with a dungeon crawler framework creates a puzzler-like approach to gameplay, providing a fitting sense of urgency to traversing its twisty haunted halls.

The GIGASWORD is an unconventional weapon, but maybe Atsu can learn a few tricks from Ezra! And maybe vice versa?? @studiohybrid.bsky.social ⚔️
