Morning folks! I’m this week’s guest on AVC Game’s new weekly column Playtime. Wrote a blurb about Esoteric Ebb and how it’s the kind of game you wanna introduce with a story rather than a label

One Year Later: Exalclaw Is Still Here Exalclaw has been around for one year now. How did it go? And what's next?

Exalclaw is officially over a year old! Thanks to everyone who's ever read a word or shared two, it means the world and then some. Here's some quick reflections on Exalclaw's first year, as well as what's next:

Started as just a goof throwing the chess pieces up there as we chatted, but once a few started to land and stay put. We knew our mission was to get every. single. one. stacked. plus Bing Bong and a lollypop.

It's so beautifully bizarre

Legit one of my favorite indie games of all time. Can't wait to read your take!

I wrote about Paradise Killer! The Syndicate’s tendency for excessive punishment is not just gross and soul-sucking. It reveals its weak control over a project that lost its purpose ages ago. Reminded me of some folks.

Give it a read, shares appreciated, and subscribe to Stop Caring already!?

More than worth it for TMNT: Tactical Takedown and Thirsty Suitors alone.

Very excited for this one!

I've been really enjoying Esoteric Ebb, a narrative game that crosses Disco Elysium with Dungeons & Dragons by way of Douglas Adams. It's goofy and very entertaining. My favorite gag: the main character gets *really* excited any time it seems like an NPC might have a quest for him. Comes out today!

Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

With news of more games media layoffs, this seems like a good time to share my Indie Games Media starter kit — it’s more important than ever that readers directly support their favourite publications and writers.
