Debug #13 dives into I Hate This Place, the uncompromising horror making the jump from comic to game

Let’s take back control from the almighty algorithm…

We choose every game by hand, playing them first and backing what deserves attention

Sometimes that means big names. More often it means the smallest, strangest, most niche projects you’ve never heard of

All chosen by real humans who care!

Today, a great injustice has been put right...

Harry Flanagan of Revolution Software has his 'n' back, after it was mistakenly replaced with an 'm' back in April 2024

And what's more, we're doing a reprint of Debug #5 and will send Harry a replacement copy. That's the Debug way!
