Just wanted to make another shout out to @smestorp.bsky.social ‘s 868-BACK. I wasn’t as addicted to a game in YEARS. Crunchy, special, surprising and … funny to say this about a very difficult game, but also cozy and friendly? Recommended store.steampowered.com/app/3304110/...

Steam says I have spent 40+ hours already in 868-Back since it came out. Amazing time but it does make me worry how much time I have played Cinco Paus for since launch 🤯

Any game that starts with "8" is brilliant in our book. Doesn't hurt that it's from one of the greatest designers of all time.

More people need to talk about Routine published by @rawfury.bsky.social - art and sound design is incredible and they have nailed the Cassette Futurism look. The C.A.T is an all time great “weapon” too! Definitely one of my GOTY
