It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

Slow Horses is SO good that it almost makes me want to go and read the books. Almost. 😉

Great find @slowhorsesappletv.bsky.social

Actually, I have a question @abki.bsky.social.

Is the voice actor for Pinky the same as Hawk from Seven Deadly Sins?

Close them doors, close the doors...

All I need is 100 people to play the free demo and leave a review.
Last one for tonight is @aerialknight.com's DropShot- arcadey (finger)gunfights while skydiving. It gets you right in the action, the music is great, and I had a good time replaying levels to get every target. Really loved the boss fight level too! This is a great time.
