As Order of the Sinking Star is coming out next month, in advance of review coverage coming in I wanted to add one thing to my last statement about the game: bsky.app/profile/drak... (note: at that time I didn’t have a separate personal account)

TWO REVIEWS (of tough games): I'm dropping Onimusha Way of the Sword 15 hours in, having found its approach to action game difficulty too discouraging to continue I'm sticking with He Who Watches, a brilliant, brain-breaking puzzle game www.gamefile.news/p/15-discour...

gamefile.news

15 discouraging hours with the new Onimusha, and 10 brilliant ones with He Who Watches

Two hard games. One gave me a headache. And that’s the one I’m sticking with.

This was so nice! The best part about launching this game has been all of the nice reviews and comments. I was fairly certain the game was going to bomb hard, so it's been a huge relief and surprise to see stuff like this

He Who Watches is not getting nearly enough reviews and downloads for how amazing this new puzzle game is. I haven't seen 3D logic explored so ambitiously before, complete with strong vibes and deeply satisfying moments. Supports all of Win/Mac/Deck! store.steampowered.com/app/1070500/...

Thank you to everyone who has checked this out so far, the reception has been really great. If you've enjoyed the game, please do go leave a review - it seriously helps more than you know! It's my first full game, and was solo developed with no AI. It took forever to make but has been so worth it.

Trump is directing his Sec of War to send troops, using full force, into a US city, to fight a siege he made up, being fought by a group that doesn’t exist. He’s declaring war on Americans exercising their 1st amendment rights to speak out and protest his attacks on democracy.
