These killer sketches were whipped up by Tim instagram.com/jetrexdesign during a play session of the recently released demo for Bat-Son's Nightmare. He captured the character so perfectly in such a short amount of time. Real artists simply cannot be replaced. #sketchbook #gameart #horrorart

At the beginning of December, I was very disappointed that these two games arrived bent and dented in a padded envelope from Canada. Now the seller, @icecoldblood.bsky.social , has promptly sent me both games again – this time in a sturdy box and well-padded. Excellent! 😊👍

Sincere apologies to anyone that purchased Batty Zabella 1 or 2 from my store and had received either in this state. This was my first time sending physical games independently, and I did not realize the packaging would be so fragile. Please contact me if you've had this issue.

The use of "666" in Batty Zabella was meant as a joke. However, while working on a Steam version of BZ1, I encountered a bug that may in fact be evidence of the Devil's handiwork. So, uh... sorry if I've doomed any followers to eternal hellfire.🔥 #horrorgame #indiegame #cursed

For the uninitiated, Carol's victim "Don" in Batty Zabella 2 is a real person with an actual band. To this day, his Squander bandmates are still trying to find out what happened to him. 💀☢️ squanderpunx.bandcamp.com/album/the-we... #hardcore #punkmusic #punk #indierock

Batty Zabella 2 running on the Analogue Pocket! As much as I love playing on original GB hardware, there's no denying how great the game looks on this device. #AnaloguePocket #gamedev
