Alberta, it’s time to vote. While American operators and cynical leaders are doing everything they can to sow division, nothing in their toolbox is more powerful than your vote. Head to the polls today, tomorrow or Monday. Vote to remain in Canada, and no to the nine.

Final verdict: 4⭐ Enjoyable read from the contemporary psychological horror meets paranormal horror section. Had a great time with it. Loved to hate most of the main characters. Could do with slightly better editing/proofreading. Will definitely read more from R. Harrison. -- #BookReview 💙📚🩸📚😱

Port Tundari seems like it would have lots of water bc it's right on the coast, but the bay is salt water and digging wells is difficult. Traditionally ppl collect rain/runoff, but spellcrafters are trying to invent desalination machines for another water source #OctoberWorldbuilders #WriteSky

#OctoberWorldbuilders The generational farms and hunters make the food and booze, and endless streams of caravans bring it to the poorly planned sprawls called "cities". Just as important are the guards who make sure raiders, The Great Beast, or divine visitations don't get it all first.

#OctoberWorldbuilders 16 There are a lot of farmers in rural areas. Additionally there are processing steps such as grinding flour, drying, etc. which employ a lot of people too (though these aren't always specialised people in rural areas, and it could be farmers themselves in less busy seasons).

#AwesomeCharacters I couldn't give exact percentages, but I'd say roughly half of the innmates' clothes come from the town's tailor Jiena, who's a regular at the inn's bar and restaurant. She's also a little sus with Aubergine. And the other half comes from traveling merchants staying at the inn

Life on Mary's Island is a contemporary-fantasy setting and most people work in the magic school both full-time and part-time. The Georgian town is filled with small shops, diners, and workshops all run by families, and the town is surrounded by farms. #OctoberWorldbuilders

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox
Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House
