Chapters 8 & 9 of SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT are now up on YouTube. Hazel finally reaches Huggin' Molly's lair in search of her mother but discovers things aren't quite what she thought. I really enjoyed this part of the game. Still completely wowed by the art style and creativity.

I love a good point-and-click adventure style game. Combine that with Lovecraftian cosmic horror and I'm pretty much sold. First episode of indie horror game THE DARK RITES OF ARKHAM is now up on YouTube. So far I'm really liking it.

It's amazing what you can do when you get to leave work at a normal time. Went home a couple hours early (8 hour day instead of 10 or 12) and did some laundry, did some dishes, made dinner, edited a video for YouTube and streamed Silent Hill 2 for a couple hours.
