Alright, FINE, WHATEVER, I'll bite. My 9 games, going all the way back to the ZX Spectrum.

Yesterday marked exactly FIVE years since we released If On A Winter's Night Four Travelers on Steam. I don't know how we got from "hey, seems we make a good team, let's make a proper game together" to wherever we are now, but I'm glad we took the plunge. Much love, all ♥️

Finally pulled the trigger on this one. Love love love Kubin's stuff. Say no to doomscrolling, say yes to dread page-turning!

The core mechanic of The Many Sins of House Ocampo is the family tree, which you'll need to put together piece by piece in order to reconstruct the whole story. Find clues, add them to your inventory, and figure out who everyone is, where they belong on the board, how they died, and when 🧠

Lazy Sunday with one of my favourite short story collections of all time. I still can't believe I managed to bag myself a physical copy! (without having to sell a kidney, that is)

I don't really check the reviews for If On A Winter's Night Four Travelers anymore, but when I do, I still get a bit emotional seeing people enjoying it this much after almost 5 years.

I wish I could create a filter so that the algorithm would not show me posts from people who share a screenshot from a movie saying "best movie ever" or "best shot ever" without saying which movie it's from. It's such a petty thing to be annoyed by, but I hate it.

Oh wow, we hit 600 (deleted) wishlists! I guess patience is in short supply these days 😁 Seriously though, thanks to every single one of you who is willing to wait as long as it takes. Without you, making games would be a bit more boring. Cheers! 🥂

"A mix of recorded history and legend has it that after a series of tragic deaths brought on by a curse of some sort, the patriarch fled the family estate, never to be seen again."

This is bait, right? Because in Berlin you can't go two blocks without running into one of these abominations.

I don't usually do nostalgia posting, but "music merging with gameplay" just triggered memories of getting high as a fucking kite and playing Rez on the PS2 with my roommates back in like 2005 or 2006. Sigh.

Not long to go until we finish this vignette we've working on for MONTHS. What we've shown here is just a tiny bit of what you'll find in game, and this is just one of the many family flashbacks your investigation will reveal. The dev journey continues. On to the next scene!

"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage."

AAALL ABOOOAAARD! HA HA HA HA! It's the TRAIN FEST and this deserves a very special, once-in-a-lifetime discount of 40% on our Supporter Pack! If you enjoyed the game, here's your chance to listen to the OST while looking at pretty pictures, all for less than a bag of chips!

"Writing lyrics for an italo disco track" was not in my gamedev bingo card, but life will take you to some weird places sometimes. It was a lot of fun!

Still working on this. Still soldiering on. Sometimes I feel gamedev is the one thing keeping me sane, some days I feel nothing else makes me more miserable, insecure, or stressed out. But we persevere. And in the end, something will exist where there previously was nothing.

You have no idea just how many books $949 can get you. And just like the Deck, you can take them with you on a trip, the bus, the train, the couch, the bathroom... More books is always the answer to everything!

Lucía worked at the Gazette, One day she received a cassette. 'I'm sorry,' it said, 'Your real mother is dead.' Which made her of course quite upset. (wishlist The many sins of House Ocampo, please and thank you! store.steampowered.com/app/4102890/)
