And that's a wrap on The Séance of Blake Manor! What a fantastic game, so much thought gone into it, really good fun (and very addictive) to play! And I learnt a lot about Irish folklore too! @blakemanorgame.bsky.social

The members of this household are taking great interest in my playthrough of @spookydoorway.bsky.social's excellent The Seance of Blake Manor @blakemanorgame.bsky.social

Cmon, people's only suggestion for Glasgow can't just be "visit Edinburgh" 😅

So I'm up in Glasgow for 6 months, writing about tech for the BBC website. I'd love to hear your tech news tips but also your Glasgow hidden gems - where to eat / see / day trips away (I've been to GoMA, Kelvingrove etc, so a bit less of the obvious places if poss!)

Did you check this out yesterday? 🦀

Jacob Janerka gave me the latest on his new comedy adventure game The Dungeon Experience 🦀 We chatted mudcrabs, Paradigm spin-offs, what happened to his Seinfeld game idea - AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHERE HE GOT HIS BIG CLAWS FROM! INTERVIEW LINK: youtu.be/uFzsLFNrkWM @jacobjanerka.bsky.social

Are branching narratives in games a waste of time? @danthat.bsky.social spoke about why they weren't part of his upcoming game EARTH MUST DIE & how he feels they don't add as much value to games as people think! Full chat - where we discuss that AMAZING cast - here youtu.be/VGPKYBJZaoA?...

You've heard of Snakes On A Plane, well how about...

Imagine your ceiling is leaking, and your upstairs neighbour telling *you* to fuck off when you want to arrange a time to access their flat to see where the leak is coming from. Imagine! (This is my current reality 🥲).

This might be the first time I'll get a game just for the voice cast.

@taskmaster.tv 's Alex Horne is in an adventure game... ...alongside Tamsin Greig, Ben Starr, Joel Fry, Alasdair Beckett-King, Sally Beaumont & MORE! EARTH MUST DIE's dev @danthat.bsky.social chatted casting...& why he thinks branching narratives are a waste of time! Video: youtu.be/VGPKYBJZaoA

Hahah thanks @cressup.bsky.social for this great #EyesofHellfire moment on stream last night 😂

Checking out Eyes of Hellfire, a co-op gothic horror game set in Ireland with the @adventgamepod.bsky.social crew! twitch.tv/cressup store.steampowered.com/app/1724030/...

Streaming this co-op Gothic horror game set in Ireland tonight! And there'll be a giveaway of some keys thanks to @gambrinous.com :) store.steampowered.com/app/1724030/...

Sorry to keep banging on about this, but we are *so desperately close* to 50 reviews on the EMD Demo It'd be HUGELY helpful to be at 50 ahead of Next Fest, for boring and complicated algorithm reasons, so if you haven't reviewed it yet PLEASE DO thank you x store.steampowered.com/app/4057540/...

Btw, if youve ever sent me a game you want me to stream / interview you about & I don't get back, I'm v sorry, I do all this outside of my 10 hour a day "main" job & I also have bad time management skills! I really try & reply though & if I say no I'm not fobbing you off, I just can only do so much!

Lovely chat upcoming on my channel with @danthat.bsky.social about their adventure game EARTH MUST DIE & its fantastic cast (Ben Starr! Alex Horne! Tamsin Greig!) The demo is out now & they need a few more reviews to get a push for Next Fest so give it a go! store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

Thank you for the cool box of stuff @disc2games.bsky.social (the second studio of Dredge creators Black Salt Games!). It was great to find out about your new game turn-based rollerblade RPG Canvas City at Gamescom!

Updates! 1. Broken Sword 2 - Reforged will be at #AdvX25, rounding out our lineup of 34 games! 🎉 🕹️ 2. @burgerbecky.bsky.social unfortunately can't make it due to health issues 😔 (GoFundMe: gofund.me/f331da613) 3. 🎤 New speaker: @antonyjohnston.bsky.social More details: mailchi.mp/9c04d915f12f...

Broken Sword 2 is getting the "Reforged" treatment! Charles Cecil spoke to me about how they're updating the sequel - & how they won't be using AI to upgrade any of the graphics this time round. What does this mean for the sixth BS, Parzival's Stone? More on that too! youtu.be/ddiWpyHbeyw

Playing more of very cool new adventure game The Drifter! twitch.tv/cressup

Undertale is 10 today! It was great speaking to these fans at the game's concert in London back in June about what makes the game so special to so many people.

Wahoo! Thank you for helping me hit 2k subscribers on YouTube! Lots of fun things coming up for the channel! youtube.com/@cressup?fea...

I got the Radiohead rejection email.

A Thimbleweed Park Prequel? Would you play it? Creator Ron Gilbert told me he sketched an idea out for it... Check out the full chat here on my YouTube - youtu.be/YULGsutCIM0?fe

Ron Gilbert still loves adventure games - but says it's unlikely he'll make another traditional point'n'click like Monkey Island - though he DOES have ideas for a Thimbleweed Park prequel. Here's our chat about his new game, the rogue-like RPG Death By Scrolling: youtu.be/YULGsutCIM0?...

Seeing what all this fuss is about twitch.tv/cressup

Silksong crashed STEAM? This is bigger than any award Team Cherry is going to get. I know the technical details going on behind the scenes quite well, and that's nearly unimaginable. Steam is the only game launcher + store with higher capacity than we built at Blizzard. Fucking amazing, seriously.

I see they put Silksong's version of the "Path of Pain" right at the beginning of the game this time round...

Silksong is OUT - and Steam is...broken..? Has the popularity of Silksong releasing broken Steam? Can't seem to access the page (or any game page).

I'll be chatting to Ron Gilbert about his new pixel art RPG game Death By Scrolling tomorrow - any questions for him? Video will go up on my YouTube Sunday evening. Incidentally I am 50 subs off 2k - so if you're interested in the interview drop me a sub! youtube.com/@cressup?fea...

I have accidentally managed to watch the whole fifth episode of Alien Earth thinking it was the first and I've never seen a more intense opening to a series.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL #Radiohead

I'm a huge fan of the Resident Evil series & I've been getting into Silent Hill through the 2 remake. So it was v cool to get to speak to both the Resi Evil Requiem & the Silent Hill f devs at Gamescom for a special about survival horror for BBC News! youtu.be/PL_-heSo0bE?...
