lol Bafta for some reason promoting an interview I did over 10 years ago where I talk about how great Twitter is for chatting to devs. Anyone who doesn't check the date on that is going to think I'm full of shit.

At the moment I'm reading The 7 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and reading the description of Blake Manor it sounds weirdly similar (even down to the victim being called Evelyn).
If you, like me, are a fiend for deductive narrative games (Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, etc) then you must check out the tremendous The Seance of Blake Manor (out today), which has become one of my favorite games of 2025. Only caveat is that I ran into a few nasty bugs www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATH_...
