We wanted to do a playing card photoshoot. What followed was a fun day on set tossing cards around over and over until we got JUST the right shots.

#ClairObscur Expedition 33 is the best game of the year, and one of the coolest artistic experiences I've had in a while.
Everything about it is thoughtful, poetic, and gripping. Props to the art team, the writing team, and the composer especially.
