The Necromancer's Tale is OUT NOW! Play with the dangerous necromantic sciences to get answers about your father's death, and maybe do something about it too. But will that be enough? Check out the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/1315320/... (with a special release sale!)
Logo and title for the game The Necromancer's Tale. A brooding man holds arms outstretched in front of a makeshift altar of candles and incense. A woman watches, hands clasped to her mouth in terror. Above them floats a pale ghost of a fatherly figure who looks on expectantly. Magical energies swirl about the crypt where the ritual takes place.

One of my undergrad creative writing professors told me once that I would never get an MFA in creative writing. He had a PEN/Faulkner nominee and wouldn't shut up about it. It was middling disaffected trash and his opinion was also trash.

Don't let them say you can't.
