So many sick games. Sparrow, The Stone of Madness, and Permafrost in particular look hype to me, and I didn't know about them. I remember following The Precinct for a while, but I didn't know they had a demo for the fest! I have to check 'em out before the demos are gone.

Sparrow looks very interesting, and I really like the look and idea of Stone of Madness. It's a pity the official screenshots don't really show these games off properly.

That's why we got your words! But I know how you feel, sometimes I'll see a picture and ask myself, "Wasn't there a better moment to capture?"

The Precinct is precisely what I was looking for a classic top-down GTA-inspired game! Without the extra launcher to play it.

Yup, I'm looking forward to trying it this weekend! And no overblown Rockstar pricetag.

Wool at the gates is a hilariously direct rip off of Thronefall. I think it's very likely they saw their dev logs on YouTube and made a similar game. I think it's okay to do this as long as you lean into and say " inspired by" or have fun with it and call it "sheepfall" or something 😂

Yeah, it reminded me of Thronefall too, but I didn't play enough of the latter to make a real comparison. Thanks for the insight!
