We desperately need new ways for people to discover games beyond the platforms controlled by Steam, Apple, Sony, et al. This is a great idea that’ll be free and independent when it’s up and running, so throw in £4/$5 to get it going!

New update today and it looks to be the last one for the... chapter? I guess? Chapter's a good word! For the chapter: A Breathing Corpse! And it looks like the next Chapter, "A Buried Corpse" will start in a week. (I'll say this... seems like Gleams a little more organized) - Dover 🧡
