This is rare. I sure played the heck outta that game. That last achievement is a 'hidden' one. Grimmest ending. Only achievable by ignoring all hints, clues, and finally unambiguous warnings.

A steam achievement list (sorted by latest) for The Blood of Dawnwalker video game showing 46/46 achievements met.

The banners of my enemy, Charles the Brown, are everywhere. I shall bring him good grief. (Blood of Dawnwalker, day 11)

A Blood of the Dawnwalker screenshot. Our hero Coel faces a small camp in the swamps. On either side of the entrance, two banners are hung. They are yellow with a black zigzag in the middle, looking like the shirt Charlie Brown - character from the comic strip Peanuts - is always wearing.

It's the first game to really satisfy me in a while. It's exactly what I hoped for. I broke my 'wait a year' rule for it. Muddling through combat, but so far so good.

This is the first one I remember being fooled by. Just reasonably believable enough and realistic-looking enough to get me.

IT ENDS. I didn't expect much from it, but it ended up being my favorite of these recent (Backrooms/Exit 8) liminal space horror films. OVERSHARE ALERT: I realized it really got to me when I found myself getting emotional when describing the plot out loud to someone...

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...

This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.
