IT’S HAPPENING. Curse of Resthaven arrives October 29 on PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox. Two days before Halloween felt like the appropriate time to unleash the curse. And there’s more: we're giving you a bit longer to play the current demo and earn your bonus gold + skill points…

Ron Cobb was not only a masterful concept artist, but also an amazing editorial illustrator. A rare combination I have always appriciated

I had the pleasure of checking out Rouge Trooper on the last day of TIFF. What a fun ride! It was a perfect blend of gritty scifi war movie and witty comedy. A real love letter to the source material and VERY British. It was also really cool to meet @manmademoon.bsky.social (been a fan since Moon)

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel, we see two stick figures. Text above them labels one as "book smart" and one as "street smart".
In the second panel we zoom out and see the two stick figures in nature next to a tree. There is a sign pointing out of the panel that says "LIFE".
In the third panel we see the street smart stick figure take the hand of the book smart stick figure. The street smart stick figure says "Come, I will guide you".
In the fourth panel we zoom out again and see the two stick figures walking in the direction of the "LIFE" sign. The book smart street figure looks back at the tree as they are walking and says, "I know a lot of facts about that tree".

Love how this write up puts how we (perhaps insanely) mashup roguelite elements with narrative mystery front and centre. It’s a quirky mix that we think works brilliantly! Thanks for the feature, @roguelikerofficial.bsky.social !
