Such an immense honor to be nominated at Nightmares Film Festival for AFAR. Beyond grateful that something as out there as AFAR was even applicable to be recognized. Can't wait for everyone to finally be able to give it at play next weekend in Ohio!

If anyone has any tips, tricks, or connects to help me market AFAR: An Interactive Horror Film, I'll take whatever help I can get! Marketing a videogame is a whole new (exciting) world to me.
