I'm Patrick - Senior Discovery Scout at UK-based indie publisher Playstack. It has been my great honour to sign games like Balatro, Abiotic Factor, Lorn Vale, Unbeatable, and many more unannounced titles!
Please talk to me about JRPGS and Final Fantasy 🥺

Already shared on LinkedIn (lmao), but just a quick update for my network - I will be moving to Tokyo next week!
I will still be keeping an eye on the Western discovery process for Playstack but, during my time in Japan, I will be shifting focus to scouting/business development across Asia ✌️🇯🇵
