One for the wishlist!! 💖 The Regreening from Positive Impact Games is a cozy simulation game about upcycling, planting, and befriending gentle spirits in a soilpunk fairytale world. 🌱🌳 Totally our cup of tea!! What do you think?? store.steampowered.com/app/3419080/...
Illustrated feet walk across sand with a trail of wildflowers and grass behind. The game name "The Regreening - A Soilpunk Fairytale" is written over the top. Characters sit around a campfire in a sandy world, the lighting is purple and orange. A character hugs a rabbit in a green field full of wildflowers. A character speaks to a crow in a desert land next to a base. The Curious Crow says "This fork will make the perfect accessory!"

Last month we sent Des to Ireland to drink Guinness, take selfies with Karl and to host a panel for @imirt.bsky.social. 🍻 It was a grand old time! No, we don’t know why Karl pulled that face, sorry. 🤷
