I'm SO grateful to Tom for trusting me with the French localisation of Lucy's adventures! I had a blast trying to render the game's humor and tone, and was quite happy with the result. Hope the players will feel the same! Go play this zany point'n'click if you haven't already!🤪
Hooray! Lucy Dreaming is now live on #PS4 and #PS5!

Watching folk test Quantum Witch, and things are going even better than I hoped.

Starless Abyss might have released the same week as the Oblivion remaster, but we're nearly sure it's less bugged than the original game! AND it's got our localizations in it!!! \o/
Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏
We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch
If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

Funny, inventive, colorful, smart and the odd tear, that game has EVERYTHING to make a great adventure! I've been fortunate enough to handle the French localization with some of my favorite Warlocs on other languages, and I genuinely hope the game meets the success it deserves! 😌
Friends! We’re beyond excited to announce that "Elroy and the Aliens," our hand-drawn adventure game, is OUT NOW! 🚀
