We’re thrilled to have just announced our game A Storied Life: Tabitha at the Gamescom Awesome Indies showcase!
It’s a real labour of love for the team at Lab42 and we’re over the moon to be working with our friends @wearesecretmode.com on an original title.

How would you like to be remembered?
In A Storied Life: Tabitha, you arrive at the house of someone close after they've passed away. Picking through the items that made up their life, you'll choose what stories you want to tell from their past.

Well the Steam Machine pitch is tailor made for me.
I spent the entirely of the late 2010s+ listening to podcasts telling me it’s simple to get into PC games and, friends, it ain’t - you’re in too deep.
I dropped PCs 20 years ago because I got fed up with that ecosystem of drivers and pain.

I fucken love adding little details of polish to games. It gives me so much purpose. When making the original prototype of Tabitha a year ago the mechanics of the game were very clear to the team - but after I applied the little bits of polish and vibes they REALLY got it. In my element 😚

I cannot believe this game is so cheap. If you have a PSP you should own this because it advances on the formula so well and you should play it.
And also because it feels more like Ghouls ‘n Ghosts and less like Super because that game isn’t great.
I’m sorry but it’s true!

Well the new Double Dragon game sure feels like it’s an early Xbox 360 game :(
DD is one of my fave franchises, I own all of them, some of them are amazing, but this is a lot closer to Wander of the Dragons than Neon, Gaiden or Advance - all very different but really good!

MK3 hits home.
It’s difficult to explain the level of MK3 obsession throughout 1995. Scouring early internet for rumors (shoutout rat.org), clipping magazines, trading secrets at the arcade, etc.
Shoutout to Flux Magazine’s @danamrich.bsky.social. Whatever happened to that guy? 😉

Daaamn the first Tomb Raider is just as good as I remembered from having it on the Saturn when it was new, and being able to play it on a physical cartridge on a plane is aces
Never noticed before but imagine if Fade to Black had similarly good mechanics? Now THAT would have been a Flashback sequel

If the devil themself offered me a sum of money and in exchange the only video games I could play for the rest of my life would be Sega Saturn games I’d happily take that money.
Then I’d frantically figure out how we add a Saturn platform to Tabitha because I need to play that a lot,

I hardly ever play my PS5 but when I do I invariably get pissed off because I got a new game and waited for the right time to play it and then I remember OH WAIT I need to wait an hour for the frigging game to install off the disc first.
Got damn.
