One of my fav games of 2025 is also on sale, Promise Mascot Agency! Drive around in a cure little kei truck and manage a mascot agency in a world where mascots aren't people in costumes, but weird living creatures! And yes, that's Kiryu's voice actor as the protagonist! It's an absolute gem.

I would take back the toxicity of 2005 dA in a heartbeat. I yearn for being rejected by Yerf. I still sit and think about Elfwood. It was all still a shitshow, yes - but it was OUR shitshow. We built that trash heap with our own two hands, scene dogs and discount Wacoms.

Ah I've had the best time at work these last few months! I was super burnt out at the beginning of the year and I feel like I'm back to my old self 🌼
Back in ImagineFX with a feature on SFB Games, getting great insight from Adam Vian on the studio’s early Flash years and the beginnings of Detective Grimoire to his latest murder mystery The Mermaid Mask.
If you love point-and-click adventure games, you should really play The Mermaid Mask. www.siliconera.com/review-the-m...
