Why is Frankfurt Airport so angry? 💢
Text "Frankfurt Airport" with the Frankfurt Airport logo, which resembles the angry forehead veins from anime

Found this in a hole in the Living Lands and got some big feels @paulkirsch.bsky.social and @katedollarhyde.bsky.social
Readable note UI from the game Avowed. Header text reads: "Letter to Karlodh". Body reads: "was comforted by its impermanence, and in the impermanence of all things. I took comfort in Rymrgand's promise of the end. But even the ice carver is not impervious to the cold. And the new wind that blows from the north, from Ukaizo, from the cracks in the In-Between, chills me to my bones. There is something wrong in the world, Lodha, and not even your bright smile can set this cycle to rights. I head to the Living Lands. The vitality that fled my art is gathering there. Condensing. Now, A new chill rises in the land. A great conflict is coming, and our master will need his Harbingers at his side. If Vatnir returns, tell to him to come, but my love, I beg you: do not follow us. To serve our god most faithfully, I must believe you're still alive. - Leksi"

Finally, and this is cheating a bit, but I'm replaying Life is Strange (Remastered), and I'd forgotten what a cinematic eye it had (and, overall, a very clear aesthetic identity). Like this is an incredible opening shot for my twee game about teenage hipsters:

Really looking forward to Lost Records
Screenshot from opening of Life is Strange Remastered (Episode 4). A beached whale is shot from a low angle, the border between the beach sand and the overcast dusk sky creates a bold line across the shot from bottom left to top right. Seagulls are visible against the clouds. The title card reads "DONTNOD ENTERTAINMENT", rendered in sketchy characters

Always appreciate a good conspiracy board (this one hidden within the opening hours of Veilguard)
A screenshot from Dragon Age The Veilguard displaying a black board on which there are pinned many scraps of parchments with symbols from across the franchise. Threads connect the parchments. From left to right they suggest someone studying the throughlines of the series
