With the extra week from @amazefest.bsky.social, I pushed a new BȢGENĒ build after a sleepless Sunday night.
Still very experimental, still evolving.
A demo is planned for the coming months.

I somehow missed that a new Pathologic by
@icepicklodge.bsky.social came out last week, made in collab with @polyarinov.bsky.social
The same Polyarinov who translated Infinite Jest into Russian.
Few games could make that kind of crossover feel this natural

Below the cloud, pressure is crushing. Only machines survive in the open.
LAMINA BRUISE is a narrative-driven first-person adventure with puzzle elements.
A surreal sci-fi story experienced through oddly familiar organic interfaces, technologies and environments.
