Saturday Edition (Playdate): Enthralling (though largely linear) sci-fi / detective adventure that is supported by lovely side-on 2D animation, and massively accelerated by an astonishing soundscape.

I mean it - ASTONISHING. Possibly the best sound design I've ever experienced in a game, and it's on the #Playdate. A really wonderful experience... one of the best (so far) on the system.

Current Backlog: 237, Average Release 6-Feb-2017, Median Release 20-Apr-2018.
