Finally got around to writing my review of Sinking City 2, a survival horror game that I really, really enjoyed.
It's also a game that openly talks about the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and how the war has affected the people living in the country and working on Sinking City 2.

Just rolled credits on The Sinking City 2. Had a great time with it, and I’m very proud of my friend @nshady.bsky.social and his writing work on it! It’s been so fun playing it and seeing all the ways the Frogwares team has levelled up over their last couple games all while in the middle of a war.

I’ve been writing on #TheSinkingCity2 for three years and it’s finally out! Frogwares made this in a literal warzone, and to see such good reviews and fan love is a testament to their tenacity and artistry. It’s something special. I’m proud of it.
Please check it out! ❤️🇺🇦

We've been doing an environment art pass on the dingy small apartment you live in in GO PHISH. As your in-game stress climbs the room itself shrinks, leaving less and less room for your life in it :( #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev

I don’t see much chatter about #TheAgency, but as someone who loved Le Bureau, I am pleased to get to relive the story through fresh eyes. It’s just very good.

This afternoon the Cosmic Soup Games TikTok account was banned? Apparently we were "commercialising regulated materials". I suspect it's because we talk about phishing in GO PHISH and a bot thought we were selling crime tools or something... but no I am just marketing my bideo game

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it.

we at xbox are coming to terms with the AI-fueled hardware crunch, which we helped create, failing to meet profit margins, that we made up, declining software sales, because we're self-cannibalizing our games specifically, and also everyone hates us which, believe it or not, also our fault
