I enjoy writing, table top role-playing games, videogames, 3d printing, painting, and continuously learning. I enjoy games of cooperation and abhor PVP. I will be erratic and I likely will not check comments ever.

Grafton Farm Update

The new concept for the Grafton Farm adds excellent horror movie vibes to the game. The house is quirky in a dark humour way offering a mix of paranoia and jump scares coupled with laughter over the cause. I'm excited to see the next update
