I cannot overemphasize how much this game rules. Highly recommend signing up for a reminder to go back this immaculately designed card based game inspired by Eastern European folklore (but idk I’m not your mom if you want to not sign up and get eaten by a bear-man instead that’s your prerogative)

What if you took a passage from the Bible and used it to play a game like The Quiet Year? I just posted Hevel (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) on my itch page (pay what you want)! nullandvoidgames.itch.io/hevel-eccles...

I'll go there and say that empathy for others beyond oneself is the most directly meaningful way to distinguish yourself, in public, to others, in these times, that you aren't fascist or fashy-adjacent.

I forgot how hard it is was to write WINTERHORN. I'm nearing the finish line on a sequel and it keeps moving a little farther away. The simplest games are the most complicated.

@segedy.bsky.social discovered a mildewed binder of CDs, circa 2000, that apparently belonged to me. Most are home-burned and weird, a real snapshot of the past.

We'll be crowdfunding Zhenya's Wonder Tales soon, and in the spirit of adding value, we will include an email address you can write to have Zhenya personally curse you, absolutely free. It was her idea.
