🌸 Florence Yeoh is Malaysian-Australian, Krish is Indian-Australian, set in Melbourne. Diverse representation without making it the point of the story! Listen:

🦷 The tooth brushing scene exists to feel boring ON PURPOSE. It captures Florence's mundane routine before love changes everything. Brilliant use of tedium as storytelling! Listen on

📱 Florence pioneered "interaction skeuomorphism" - every touch mirrors real actions. Shake Polaroids, brush teeth, pack boxes. Your phone becomes Florence's world! Listen:

In this year’s Neva, a pulse-pounding chase erupts in a forest. As Neva nears prey, shadows twist & the earth fights her. She's no longer just hunting but fleeing for life, torn between attack & escape. In that moment, predator and prey blur - she is both, embodying nature’s cycle. What a highlight!

Another solid Abercrombie tale - dark, funny, irreverent. Steven Pacey's voice work is incredible, bringing each Devil to life. These rogues are genuinely endearing despite being scoundrels. My favorite Abercrombie story yet. He keeps pushing the genre forward. Excited 4 more! 🔥 @joeabercrombie.com

The “Flying Waters” level draws on Monet’s water lilies - gravity and reality blur in this dreamscape. Will you find your way?

The Gommage ritual echoes real-world themes of erasure and remembrance. How will you face the cycle of loss and renewal?

Absolutely loving Joe Abercrombie’s The Devils—this irreverent, wild ride with a fantastical band of misfits (monsters, killers, and a doomed priest!) is unputdownable and hilariously brutal. #Fantasy #Grimdark #TheDevils @joeabercrombie.bsky.social

Just finished El Paso, Elsewhere today. It has a gritty style, haunting soundtrack, and lots of raw emotion. A surreal, lo-fi dive into heartbreak and horror that sticks with you. Loved me some detective-noir monologues! #IndieGame #ElPasoElsewhere #GameDev #LoFiHorror

The Gestrals are inspired by whimsical French folklore and literary characters like Gavroche. Their resilience and humor bring hope to Lumière. See how they change your adventure!

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, a master of Impressionism, captured fleeting the beauty of everyday life with luminous color and gentle brushwork. The Renoir in the game pays tribute to this spirit—fighting to preserve love in a world of darkness. Meet him on your journey.

The Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, symbolized progress and modernity. In Expedition 33, its fractured form looms over Lumière—a haunting reminder of ambition and loss. What will you find beneath its shadow?

Clair Obscur drifts through the mind—a mosaic of memory and identity woven with delicate threads. Its story echoes the haunting notion that the heart itself may remember, as science begins to unveil: tinyurl.com/2vyjpssd

After playing Disco Elysium, I was profoundly moved by what might be the most psychologically nuanced CRPG ever created. It doesn't just tell a story—it transforms your understanding of how games can explore the human condition, leaving me contemplating its insights long after the credits roll.

3/10! Oh wait! I have it in my Fantasy Critic too. Correction: 9.3/10. Never trust a critic who doesn't play Fantasy Critic 🙃.
