V slowly catching up with Silksong. The Widow boss fight feels like this game's Mantis Lords. Just a really fun, tense fight (with an added surprise) where it's all about reaction and learning a pattern to an art. Great stuff! (Yes I'm that weird gamer that likes v hard games & also walking sims 😆)

Went and visited Peter Molyneux at his studio 22cans today in Guildford for BBC Tech Now, to find out more about Masters of Albion, their next game - and apparently Peter's final one.

Can the creator of the god game genre summon one last great hit?

@mrsambarlow.bsky.social hey Sam! I dropped you an email about a potential thing in November, I don't know if you got a chance to see it? Send me a DM here if it's easier, but no worries if you're not around!

@timsheinman.bsky.social has been making deduction games for years and nobody told me!
I just finished "Rivals", which is part of the Owlskip Set on Steam, where you have to figure out the chronology of events in the lives of two former band members, Luke and Josh, who have gone their own way.

I finished Perfect Tides Station to Station. What a beautiful game that is.

Had some minor issues with the information mechanic but Meredith Gran has such a talent for evoking the dizzying chaos of being a young adult.

And that karaoke scene! Magic.

I hate to beg, but the truth is any hope of me finishing my next game depends on sales of my previous ones, and Rosewater could use a lot more.

Get it for 25% until March 26th.

What started as a small, silly creative side project somehow turned into a 1980s-style point-and-click adventure. It’s made by two geeky Swedes who spent way too much time playing point-and-click classics from Sierra and Lucasfilm/Arts.
