Three indie games, three different takes on a digital nightmare. While Proximate, Without a Dawn, and Dead Letter Dept. differ in their approaches, the takeaway is the same: our very perception of the world has been warped by systems outside our control. youtu.be/0zxQ9YAzy00

One of the bits of the new book I'm most excited about is the afterword for "The Shape of Infinity" -- because it's a full, 10-page visual short story by artist Richard Blake.
I'm aiming to have at least a dozen times in the book that you turn a page and go "oh holy shit"
