Hannah Shaffer @hanbandit.bsky.social · 29/07/2026This has been a labor of love! What started as a small game hack has expanded over two years into a 200-page horror tome with a TON of moving pieces. It's our most ambitious game and it's not done, but this is a milestone. It's creepy and unsettling and I hope folks will read and play it! 11511

Hannah Shaffer @hanbandit.bsky.social · 10/01/2026The thing about the artists/indie game designers passing around the same $10 joke is that sometimes you need the $10, the next time someone else will and you’ll have $10 to give. In this way we uplift each other and get to keep making art. 211629
