Don't forget: If you've played and enjoyed Demonschool, please do leave a review on steam! We want to hit that "overwhelmingly positive" threshold. And remember, if we do it by the end of the month (5 days!), Faye gets a pretzel~ store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

This week was Yarn Spinner’s 10th anniversary of our first public release but we were too busy to post because we were making a game (and props and all sorts) for our museum installation 🎉🎉🎉 Opening @ ACMI tonight!
Three of us are off to Melbourne to attend the launch of the @acmimuseum.bsky.social Game Worlds exhibition, for which we built “Hint Line ‘93”, a game about a fictional console’s hint line, exploring a lost bit of game culture….
