It takes a War is closing in on the 50 review mark - currently sitting at 93% positive.

Come for the ‘pretty poor counter strike clone’, stay for the ‘powerfully moving piece of art’ 📶

Oh! And if you want to couple ITAW with another thematically-linked game, we're chuffed to be partnering with @panic.com for the Five A Side Bundle - a package bringing Despelote and It Takes a War under one unexpected roof.

TRICK OR TREAT? 🎃

The next 200 subscribers to our newsletter can put their hand in our SPOOKY BAG (can't promise there's nothing slimey/bitey in there) & take a mystery game. Which game? There's 6 different titles in there but WHO KNOWS!?

Your time is precious. Perhaps the most precious thing you have

The ITAW Demo in Steam Next Fest is a short 5 min prelude to the game; a standalone experience & director's commentary all rolled into one

It is v mindful of your fleeting existence on earth

GOOD DAY. Steam Next Fest opens its doors for October in around eight hours

BUT you can play the demo for It Takes a War right chuffing now.

Our short 5min demo is a Standalone Prelude, Training Ground and Director's Commentary all rolled into one.

It’s Steam Next Fest next week, and the short, standalone demo for It Takes a War is already live in readiness

The servers are spinning up. A conflict is brewing. But this is probably isn’t the kind of war you’re imagining…

shoutout to @newobject.bsky.social for creating such a pure form of digital crack

We featured Ballionaire in our very first Bold & Bizarre Games Bulletin - back when the game was a prototype on Itch.io. It's been amazing to chart its success since then, and somewhat of a full circle moment for us.

BONK! It's October. The best month. And we've chummed up with @rawfury.bsky.social to bring Ballionaire to our newsletter; 3000 keys will be dropping on Oct 30th.

Mind Diver from Indoor Sunglasses was out yesterday - one of those games that found its way into my TikTok feed and then never left (the algo knows me well, apparently)

Look at this mad beauty
