Exclusive to this edition are an A2 art print signed by @jumpovertheage.com, a limited edition Citizen Sleeper 2 βSleeper Yellowβ vinyl & a themed slipmat... while stocks last! ‡οΈπ

Really love the slightly abstracted posters/leaflets etc. you find throughout Cairn. I never want to see or hear about "AI placeholder text" for stuff like this when you can so easily just have some artful squiggles in place of the fine details!
And no Marco, you're not guilt-tripping me back down the mountain with your patronising "maybe you climb to escape having human relationships?" spiel. Goddamit, I'm reaching that summit! β°οΈ

Looking back at Ultros on its 2nd anniversary, its legacy has grown like the mycelium networks it was inspired by ππΏ
We've been chatting with Niklas Γ
kerblad, Creative & Art Director of the project, about the beating core behind Ultros' psychedelic spectacle π±
Cairn's artwork on *just* the loading screens is something else π€€

You can do that Author-Thing now where they sneak into a Barnes & Noble and secretly deface their own books with a signature :)
There's a much more compact, cheaper, accessible edition of Jacob's "How A Game Lives" out now, published by Harper Collins! Check your nearest big/mainstream bookstore - would love to see a photo if anyone catches it in the wild!
Worth it just for this double-page spread π€
Last chance to get in on The Fun π (Buy a Book + Watch Jacob Play Silksong!).

Hi there! ππΎ
I'm really excited to finally share what I've been working on these past couple of months! I'm putting a lot of time and energy into crafting a definitive behind-the-scenes breakdown of all the Amnesia games for fans and newcomers alike.
Feel free to preorder if you're interested! π―οΈ
Donlan writing a whole book on Tunic.
Delighted to announce Heartbeats, Dreams and Laser Eyes: 15 Years of Simogo, and equally thrilled to be working with @hollynielsen.bsky.social, @nadiaoxford.bsky.social, @illogicaljoker.bsky.social and Christian Donlan, who will be contributing essays to the book. Preorder at the link below!
Great chat/interview - very interesting to hear all about your games media background prior to the *BIG "I DID A BOOK" ACHIEVEMENT* ! Although... to clarify for HR... at no point did I call you "Babe" or say "you really popped your pussy on that one [review]" π
If you'd like to learn more about β¨οΈCOCOON: Design Worksβ¨οΈ I had a gab with @sevenoutoften.co.uk about it for a bonus episode of Indieventure
Not currently, although we definitely plan to implement something like a release calendar soon!
Usually the ETA will be the next year, same quarter, so add 9-12 months on from the pre-order date. So Alan Wake will be Q3 next year ; Mouthwashing Q4, 2026, and so on.
