I am so very proud of this extraordinary game. Come dance with the devil and see what you find..be careful what you wish for. The superb and wonderful team @questiongames.bsky.social have outdone themselves again. Head over to Steam - play on the fabulous demo store.steampowered.com/app/2781470/...
Thank you, Emma! 🫀 Follow her on bsky, BG3 & voice acting nerds! One of the finest voice talents alive. The Killing Stone may be read as my barely-veiled fanfic about her making a pact with the devil to go on performing for an extra 100 years.

How does an #indiestudio create a soundtrack for their 17th century folk horror game?
Step one: Hire a badass audio team.
Step two: let them be their weird, wonderful selves.
@chrisrickwood.bsky.social made his own tagelharp (YES - handmade!), then he also tracked down a hurdy-gurdy just for us.

If you're on the edge let me endorse is to you - in this game you literally bargain with Demons before fighting them, and thats hella cool. Also the demons are polite cosmic horrors, so that's a bonus.
Happy #WishlistWednesday!

It's gonna be 9 years I've been with Question in January. That's by far the longest I've been with any team, and far longer than most gamedev teams survive. I love this team.

Hmm. Hey Horror archivists - Condemned: Criminal Origins seems to have been de-listed from Steam. License expired. C:CO feels to me as if it comes from a parallel timeline where Western Horror went a different way.
Key re-sellers' prices aren't *gruesome* yet. So, just in case - here's a heads up.
