Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏
We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch
If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

"What might surprise you is the visuals. From the very beginning, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage looks immaculate. But, somehow, Don’t Nod takes it up a notch in the second half. Tape 2 is striking."

with bloom & rage out in the world, it’s finally time to start sharing some of my art ✨
one of my first tasks on the project was to explore the idea of our girls bonding together in the forest. we considered a number of settings and moments early on - happy this log crossing scene stuck around!
