For @baltimoremagazine.com, I previewed a couple of extraordinary titles from the Maryland Film Festival, which starts tonight. @mdffparkway.bsky.social

Really glad I got to check out Relooted by @nyamakop.co.za at @mdffparkway.bsky.social. I was just already hooked by the idea of an Afro-futuristic Metroidvania but there’s also a lot of strategy involved. And my FAVORITE part is the digital museum of repatriated artifacts
