Art is the expression of humanity, “we do not read and write poetry because it is cute, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race,” it is one of the few (only?) things we do with language that can surpass language
My big hot take is that conflating art with entertainment is a mistake that contributes directly to why so many things suck here
A fantasy world map with a cloaked player character positioned at the bottom.
A cloaked player character enters a small town on the outskirts of a city. Two armoured guards prevent entrance via a drawbridge. Another guard leads a prisoner to the gallows whilst a mother and child look on from across the road.
A cloaked figure approaches a pear tree on a cliffside. In the far distance, a huge suspension bridge can be seen over a great river.
A cloaked figure walks along a river in a forest. Across the way, two raptor-like creatures with human-skull faces devour a human corpse.
My most ambitious project yet…

I will continue to promote my free post-apocalyptic dog story exploration game until everyone is as obsessed with it as I am. (Also bc I’m between creative projects and having a hard time getting into the next thing)
A list of achievements in Scavenger Suite: “i’ll fly away” (do some birdwatching), “and on that farm he had a…” (drive the tractor), “it is well” (forget the words)

I’m only a little ways into Crabmeat and it’s so good, fulfilling my young adulthood dream of becoming a perfectly normal king crab fisherman
For anyone interested, I wrote a lengthy post about the influences, intentions, music, art, themes, and basically everything I could think of to do with Scavenger Suite. Playing the game first is of course recommended! big-field.neocities.org/posts/2026-0...
Just found this game and it brought a tear to my eye. Great art, music and story. Its only 10 mins long and a lovely experience!
Thank you for playing and sharing!

Seated high atop a slender concrete support, a woman sits hugging her knees. The hem of her white dress spills down from her perch. As seen through the tilted wreckage of stone slabs, her face is bathed in light. As she faces a sun unseen, long shadows fall behind her, cast by the rebar protruding from the nearest facade. The surface is chipped, pitted and worn through to expose the rusted skeleton beneath once smoothly constructed stone. In the immediate foreground, a key hangs looped over a short outcrop of rebar.
