Took a break from #YouTube uploads after moving in November, but I’m back!

This VoD is from October: Weekend Ritual, a VN made for the 2025 #SpooktoberVNJam which includes an interview with the devs!

Thanks to @fiendishfiction.bsky.social for taking the time to speak with me!

I had the pleasure of playing SpookY2K during #SpooktoberVNJam, it was awarded 2nd place in the jam, and now it's on Steam! Definitely worth checking out.

Altila in 2022 vs Altila in 2025.

Looks like I finally realized that what I did in 2022 was dumb.
