Me, before watching the trailer: "Banned? This is crazy. Who doesn't like horses?"
Me, after watching the trailer: "Oooooh. THOSE kinds of horses."
Also me: "I want to play this game right now!"
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

From the limited time I spent with Inazuma Eleven, looks like it's a 10/10 JRPG and a true successor to Persona 5.

So far, I love everything about it - story, wholesome vibe, silly moments. And a couple of days ago I did't even know this game existed.

As expected, loved #TheBerlinApartment. A few technical hiccups here and there (no colliders for some objects), but overall - a heartfelt journey.

Especially that last story and the finale itself - beautifully written, and breathtaking visually!

Whoever wrote that last one deserves a raise!

Dark Prince of Nerd Media himself is on board.

Glad I left some Doc Brown Spider Monsters in there.

Seeing Michael Huber being pumped for our game, that must be one of the greatest feelings one can get.

Being showcased on State of Play Japan still feels crazy.

Okay, since the whole gaming internet is discussing how low the amount of concurrent players are for KEEPER, let me blow your mind.

- it's not just a lighthouse game. 50% is lightouse, sure, but then MIND = BLOWN. Developers had to sacrifice marketing in order to keep the surprise for us.

Honestly - a perfect October game. Like a portal into another, surreal world - sweet, beautiful & mysterious. And an ideal length too.

Thank god we still have games like that. Cannot recommend this enough - check out "Keeper" by Double Fine!

Just believe me - it's worth your time.

A company with decades of single-player experience pivoting to multiplayer? Well, it worked for Anthem, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, FBC: Firebreak, Redfall, Marvel's Avengers, and all those PlayStation games

Silent Hill f first ending complete.

Without the emphasis on combat and heavy reuse of assets this would've been one of the best Silent Hill games ever.

But those final few chapters really detracted from the whole experience - tedious to get through.

Today I'm thinking if I should add the line "You know, Makoto, we really are in Konbini" or not into the game...

Cobra Kai is just incredible. Still can't believe that a TV series could capture the essense and feeling of the original.

Most project that try to do that for quick cash grab fail miserably. This show is an exception. Didn't dig it at first, but halfway through s1 I couldn't stop watching
