Meet The Faceless. Armed with n’owt but his own wit and a mask carved from wolfsbone, he scours the land in a bid to extinguish the darkest of terrors. Where others would hide from the darkness, this vagabond marches willingly into its inky black heart.
This is a promotional poster for the upcoming game, The Tūn-Gāst of Oakshaw. The poster mimics an 18th Century newspaper article while featuring the protagonist, Faceless, in a charcoal drawing.
Image text: The Daily Courant. Tuesday, July 23. 1732. Faceless Vagrant Banishes the Banshee of Birchgrove.
On Wednesday last, resi-dents of Horsted Keynes, West Sussex, rejoiced after a vagrant who would reveal neither his name nor his face put the terror known as the Banshee of Birchgrove to rest.

The Banshee had caused great distress since it first emerged in February of last year, visiting several families at night and forecasting their untimely deaths.

The vagrant, who locals refer to as “The Faceless,” did not reveal his methods. Many, however, report that he sought a golden blade for an encounter with the appa-rition.

Sunny tangerines ☀️🍊🐈 #art #traditionalart #cuteart #caturday
Traditional art done in marker and colored pencil. The picture is bright and colorful. It shows an orange striped cat climbing a branch of a tangerine tree, sniffing the tangerines growing on it. The picture has checker-flower patterns framing it on the top and bottom.

Do monsters lurk in the darkness, or do they lurk within us? Find out in our next title — The Tūn-Gāst of Oakshaw — a top-down pixelated folk horror game. Armed with only your wits, can you uncover the secrets buried deep within Oakshaw?

every memorial day I think about what my dad (who is Canadian) has told me since I as a little tiny kid: memorials to those who have died in war should never be a way to glorify dying in war, but rather a reminder why we should try to do everything we can to prevent war from happening to begin with

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

Star Trek Minus Context @nocontexttrek1.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR and see Spock standing just outside a turbolift with his back against the door and him facing out. He's holding on behind him as if he's dizzy or needing to steady himself. There's also a cool mid century modern pointy chair in the hallway. Probably a fire hazard which would complicate egress. Closed caption reads, "I'm in control of my emotions."

Something I’ve heard a few times lately is some variation of “Why don’t you charge for more of your games? Why do you devalue them like that?” And like, my dudes, I’m not the one here devaluing them based on their price. Free games hold a lot of value, especially now.

RPG Maker was launched in 1992 and has become increasingly complex, but it’s still a remarkably accessible way to make adventure games with no development experience
