I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

Another little masterpiece from Japan

Spooky Express and homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte (so unusual in Italy) is the perfect combo. Anyway the game is so good and runs well on Steam Deck.

Here's a film about the making of I AM DEAD, which shows a bunch of Richard Hogg's concept art for that game, and digs into how we drew inspiration from the town of Hastings on the south coast of England, where he lives.
