Spent a few hours with this over the weekend, sooo easy to pick up and play! I'm really enjoying the Blue Prince meets fantasy dungeon metroidvania + vamp survivors blend, but without it feeling frantic. Deffo recommend!! ➡️⬅️⬆️⬇️💀
It’s not on the front page any more, but the deal’s still on if you want to grab a copy

Waited 45 mins watching the giant London Plane tree in our meadow for the 200+ jackdaws (a clattering) to set on on their evening flight after a rowdy social. Someone texted my hubby just as they left so he didn't get a pic. I am cryin' & dyin' laughing!! @rspb.bsky.social for viewing numbers 😂

Editors, if you’re crying out for expertise in these games (which from experience is hard to come by!) then Ana is well worth reaching out to:
Because I'm on the freelance grind now, I have to put it out there: I'm wrapping up my first post-Polygon project under NDA and am open to more work in consulting and freelance writing. I'm an expert in super-popular online multiplayer games and platforms like Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and Roblox.
