BATSHIT COOL NARRATIVE TOOLS IS WHAT YOU GET

i need you to understand that our narrative tools over at darkwebSTREAMER are crazy 🤪

The general shape of most of my favorite art is, "Someone put in WAY MORE effort to make this VERY SPECIFIC THING, more than anyone else would have bothered to."

VHS style screen black background with white arial text that says "You slink cautiously into the master bath. You find your watercolour painting of a fish with bleeding eyes lying face down on the floor."

just darkwebSTREAMER things
