In honour of World Mental Health Day, we played a cosy little game that was a lovely way to end off the evening and begin the weekend. Totally worth the current coffee price. 🫶 to everyone! 🎮: Hello Goodboy by @rollinggloryjam.bsky.social #WorldMentalHealthDay #HelloGoodboy #RicePlays

Finishing #PreOdyssey yesterday was such a wholesome treat, my heart still feels warm from the experience. I love how Penelope's ducks were such staunch and dedicated shippers of the two, nnngh. Even without a sale, this little VN has my solid recommendation. 🫶🫶
