It’s Just A Prank (2024)

This was… a lot lol. Game goes some real dark places real quick but I enjoyed my time with it. Builds tension well, and it looks really nice to boot

Crowded. Followed. (2024)

EXTREMELY stressful at points, a lot of pushing your way through crowds while watching for anyone acting weird moving towards you.

A lot of really great fixed camera angles too, I’ll never get tired of games that include them.

Rolled credits on Game 19 of 2025: El Paso, Elsewhere.

Started off super strong but for me dragged a bit by the end. I'm 1 trophy away from the platinum. Hoping to power through for that other ending.
