Wild to look at Amadeus and go “that should get a 2025 TV series”. The movie really feels like you’re watching the play, dunno if TV will manage that but I’ll definitely give it a shot.

SMASHED the out of office off the back of BIRDCAGE hitting 97% positive on Steam! One month down, extremely proud of how we've handled our launch period. Overwhelmingly so. Thank you again if you've picked up the game, the OST or taken the time to leave us a review!

Tried the FF7R demo on Switch 2. Looks great but 30fps feels pretty bad - shame there was no 40fps mode in the end. Anyway, I had powerful flashbacks to actually playing FF7R and immediately closed the demo. Here ends my review.
