I am weirdly invested in the Mr Society storyline in Deltarune Idk why this particular NPC has gripped my attention more than any other Like, the others are cool too, I like the recolored Rudinn, I like Top Chef and Mallius But every chapter, first thing I do is check up on Mr Society
Alriiiight it's time to close Twitter for the next few days I commented on ONE thread abt the whole Hank Green situation and now The Algorithm© is pushing nothing but blue checksmarks berating people for being anti-AI I am being baited for engagement and I will not participate
The Mermaid Mask - Review 🧵 store.steampowered.com/app/1696770 I have been looking forward to this new opus in the Detective Grimoire series for quite a while now, and my expectations were sky high when diving into it. It did not diappoint.

Cairn - Review 🧵 I have a lot of mixed feelings about Cairn, and I've struggled to write this review for a while because of it. So let me get to the conclusion first : Cairn is absolutely a game worth playing, and I recommand it to anyone interested by the premise of "a game about climbing".
I've rewatched a playthrough of NITW recently, and every time I lament the fact that we'll never get another game quite like it

It's not a competition, obviously - but it's absolutely bananas that GMTK Game Jam 2026 actually received more submissions than this year's Global Game Jam. That makes GMTK the biggest game jam in existence. (Maybe GGJ allowing AI-generated submissions put some devs off... who knows?)
Another year, another #GMTKJam done here's the game I made for #GMTKJam2026, with the help of 6 other incredibly talented and creative people : betshet.itch.io/down-for-the... Go play it now!

Here's a small #GMTKJam2026 update It's now the start of 3 of the jam. Here's how we spent the early parts of day 1 brainstorming between us. The first thing I always like to do when the theme dorps is a word cloud, where everyone writes single words they think that relate to the theme.
By the way, commletely forgot to talk about it here I'll be participating in the GMTK Jam again this year! I'll try to post regularly about our progress, my process as a designer, and show some WIP as we go

I don't post much in part bc i'm bad at social media, but also bc I recently got an internship as a Game Designer Assistant in a big studio it's funny, making games has been my life goal for so long and yet it feels like this is the first time that I am really and truly making a game
I feel like Kane Parsons really nailed what the Backrooms are, what they should be, and what they represent Saw a tweet talking abt how the "serial killer" horror genre of the 90s & 00s has given way to the Gen Z fears : isolation and simulacrum, and I love that analysis
By the way, you can find all of my game reviews on my personal website, if by chance this interests anyone romainbachelier.myportfolio.com/game-reviews
Psychonauts 2 - Review 🧵 store.steampowered.com/app/607080 I played Psychonauts 1 back in 2017, nearly 10 years ago now. And while not revolutionary in its gameplay, the game definitely left a mark on me, as it did on many others who played it.

Mina the Hollower - Review 🧵 The best compliment I can give Mina is that playing it reminds me of the hours spend on my Gameboy playing Link's Awakening and Minish Cap as a kid, exploring dungeons and fighting bosses.
Finally finished Mina Took me around 35 hours What an absolutely fantastic game
The difficulty curve of Mina is overall really good, but I have some minor criticism - The game gives you too many plasma vials. The level design always makes sure you can return to the checkpoint easily, and the plasma mechanic means you frequently die because you couldn't fill up your bar, not-
