Geoff Keighley made a Faustian pact - the ability to share the games he so loves, under conditions of marketing agreements such that he can never meaningfully address the horrible conditions of the industry.
And worst of all, he has made his peace with it because the pact also included the Muppets.

You should get SOMA if you haven't played it yet. Fantastic game. Works even for horror wimps with the safe mode (I can give you my guarantee of that as a horror wimp). This game is one of my go to examples of how interactivity can enhance even generally linear storytelling, and for a good reason
Soma is going for an absolutely silly discount right now, 95% off.
If you've not played it, it's perhaps Frictional's best. I never finished it, cos I got too scared

Thanks to @retropals.bsky.social, I am now aware of Home Alone 2: Kevin's Dream, an unreleased Game Boy game which features some kind of nightmarish creature with the heads of Harry and Marv as its final boss.
And now you are too.

Additionally, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that Jon’s beliefs/priorities and mine are not aligned. He’s adversarial to people talking about privilege and representation, is dismissive of diversity efforts, has dabbled in covid trutherism, and is pro-MAGA.

I was disappointed to see the store page description put his name front and center while not mentioning any of the creators of the original games. This industry’s obsession with auteurs is not healthy.

That said, I hope the game will get a more nuanced label than “new Jon Blow game”. While the creative vision is his, he didn’t make any of the original games and there are a lot of talented people at Thekla who also deserve credit.

These games are the starting point, but the bulk of the game is new puzzles combining mechanics from different games together. I haven’t played the game but I have faith it will be interesting, and the world can always do with more great puzzle games.

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.
