this community can sustain so many hat-based gangs

really neat; I don't know if I've seen strand used before, and this is a great display of what it in particular promises in terms of narrative play

poetics of wretchedness

what a cool concept with sleek execution

Thank youuu. "When you gaze into the [alive mind in the inert body], the [teeming abyss of the universe] gazes back." - the elevator floor alert voice, probably

even though I bewared George, nevertheless I was welcomed to George

short like a punch; I honestly would love to see more dioramas in games like this

damn....jobs can be anything

this game really makes it clear: protein

absolutely amazing, love the visuals and the clarity of design

Wonderfully paced and written. I had a lot of fun replaying to explore different spaces and get different endings in different rooms.

okay I found a solution! I had renamed the files when working in electric zine maker before using this, so I had to go back and rename the files FRONT.png etc. BUT renaming it "FRONT.png" doesn't work. You have to rename it "FRONT" "BACK" "1" etc and let the program understand .png on its own. Hope this helps anyone else who runs into this

the creator replied a few comments down about the same issue (which I'm also having), saying: 

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Are your png files titled the same as they were in the folder where Electric Zine Maker saved? It should be FRONT.png, INNERFRONT.png, BACK.png, and however many numbers are left.

this is honestly so helpful, and the most helpful thing about it is knowing that the setters do have intention and there is always an answer and they aren't just trying to piss me off (except of course when they haven't had their weetabix that morning, in which case I assume it's all built on malice)

Thanks for including the full text at the end of the game!

Really informative! I couldn't help but thinking that there are so many things in this industry practice that might be improved by unionization, but also that unionization is uniquely difficult due to the way people are brought into and maintained in the field.

misanthropy is scab shit truuuue

I love flensing the quark piston at regular intervals. I am continually purchasing SkullBuddies to activate them by flensing the quark piston at regular intervals.

I'm part of a reading group themed around the unbearable (as in Laura Berlant and Lee Edelman's Sex, or the Unbearable) that often includes discussions of "the weird" (theory is hell). I often find myself wanting to talk about this ^^^ work, so I'm thrilled to see an aesthetics sketch/manifesto + examples for my disseminating pleasure

My friend recently found two fish shirts (a Ray Troll shirt and a clearly handmade "women fear me fish fear me men turn their eyes away from me" etc type shirt) so this felt really relatable

Oh amazing, thank you so much!

So cool, thanks for sharing! A little thing: you list the image credit to Warick Goble, but it's actually Warwick Goble (lol). Do you happen to have a more specific source for the cover image? nbd if not, thanks!

woah I didn't know that

fun but so dark I couldn't play it haha

egg....

lovely art and layouts, really enjoyable to replay and find new paths. 

Oh this is neat! I know you (spoilers) come down with a strong preference for the lost world novels, and you name some utopian works and hollow earth stuff, but do you have any specific video games you were thinking of when you made this?

it's like playing a pop-up book that has pull tabs

I love little museum games. I wish I could make a museum of museum games.

I let out a little yelp when I saw this. Thank you for sharing!!!

this is so sick, thanks for so generously sharing!

I died from electric shock :)

ooh thank you!

oh how fun and moody; not really very familiar with resident evil game, but I really enjoyed this. reminded me a bit of The Devil's Imago by Domino Club

this is so sweet! your art is lovely. thanks for including the decker resources at the end :)

wow this is gorgeous. thank you moon and chairs

I just play it in-browser, here on this screen at the top of the page. It's free and available to anyone; the No ICE bundle in this case just reminded me it was here to play.

this is so cool; I played it years ago but I guess neglected to leave a comment. all the hacks layered on top of each other are really compelling, like playing a game collage

really  love this style, thanks for making and sharing!

really gorgeous, evokes a wonderful mood + that great feeling of "I'd love to make art like this"
