Really happy that folks are enjoying Nighthawks. Now that it’s out, I have been focused on getting back to Gilt and trying to make something really special out of it.

Gripping and intriguing game I’m currently playing:

Ahhhhh right! Yeah, that's fair, I could randomize a few different statements there 🤔

Dane @kramsdesign.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Ah boy, yeah I really worked at adding as many unique lines in there that would satisfy the 'close but not quite right' guesses, but even for a small game there's just so many to stay on top of! There must be at least 50 already, if not more, but of course most don't get seen 😅

🔍The Big Hollow: 1982🔎 has been out for almost a week now, and though mostly recouping I did squeeze out new key art! As Lenore points out, a key moment for the case... HUUUGE thank you to everyone who has played, shared, reviewed, it all makes a difference to a tiny little production like this ♥️♥️

Finished this last night, and was a pretty neat bite-size detective game that really makes me want to see what this developer will do next, because I could see this deductive gameplay style expanded upon for a bigger game with several cases.

Dane Krams, of Anna's Quest fame, just released his new game. Not quite point & click, but still feels like an adventure game to me. bsky.app/profile/kram...

In 2015, we translated the amazing Anna's Quest by Dane Krams. Super happy to see that he's still going strong and has just released what looks like an exciting narrative investigation game. Do not hesitate to spread the word if you're into this type of game.

Only played for an hour, but intriguing detective game so far. Also the second detective game I've played where the main character is named Ward, curiously enough.

Just the one case I'm afraid! But I really went to a lot of lengths to make it densely packed and worth your while ❤️ hope you enjoy it!
