Reminder: Today is the last day to enter the War Song trivia contest!

We're making our Sam & Max War Song oral history free this week to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary. Available now!

My oral history article about Sam & Max's War Song is free for one week! Check it out if you're a fan of these games, it's a fun conversation between the people who made this song (and many other memorable Sam & Max moments) a reality.

#samandmax20th Sam & Max Season One never would have happened if not for Sam & Max: Freelance Police, a LucasArts game that was cancelled on March 3, 2004 — just a few months before its expected release. (Psst, share this thread for a chance to win a game key!)

Did someone say… birthday? The twentieth anniversary of Sam & Max Season One (aka Sam & Max Save the World) is upon us, and we’re celebrating with two weeks of Sam & Max development memories and giveaways! 🧵👇 #samandmax20th

Nighthawks is doing... well! It came close to beating our "First Day Of Launch" record. This is a remarkable achievement when you consider that this is on TOP of the thousands of Kickstarter backers who already own the game. So I think we can safely put this in the "success" column for now! Phew!

I'm only a few hours into this one, but yeah, this feels like something carved out of the finest, strongest parts of Vampire Bloodlines, with the cracks filled in with a little bit of Fallen London lacquer. What if Bloodlines was 100% about the cool weird night people and investigations.

First Nighthawks review. 89% from PC Gamer! I’ll… I’ll politely take that :-D www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/ni...

Nighthawks launches TOMORROW!! Grifters. Magicians. Pirates. The Empress of the Rats. Vampires have all the best drinking buddies. Join them in Nighthawks, the vampire RPG where the secret is out, but the hunt continues... store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...

Statement on recent events: steamcommunity.com/games/122195...

I’ve known Rich since back when *waves hand vaguely at the games industry* all this was fields. Nighthawks has been a labour of love for him and I’m delighted @wadjeteyegames.com have provided a platform for his talents and even more delighted that we’re going to be experiencing the game very soon.

🚨Nighthawks is coming SEPTEMBER 22ND!🚨 The secret is out. Vampires exist. You're one of them. Step out of the shadows and prove that even the darkest streets can lead to brighter tomorrows. Wishlist on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/... 🧛👍

⭐ ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT! ⭐ Tomorrow (September 2nd) we are announcing the Nighthawks launch date! In the meantime, why not give the game a quick wishlist click? store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...

Did you know? The 2026 detective game "TR-49" has been described as using a Wikipedia rabbit hole as a gameplay mechanic. But nothing rivals the original experience of going down a wiki walk ➡️ w.wiki/5GU

Psyched to have my first byline on Design Room! This article was a lot of fun to write, based a group interview with @rodkin.online @jaredej.bsky.social @thatdave.bsky.social @sasquatchers.wtf and Dave Bogan (who I don't think is on Bluesky).

WADJET EYE IS 20 YEARS OLD!! Which means it’s time to celebrate with another group photo. It’s frankly ridiculous that the universe has allowed me to continue doing this for so long. I’m grateful for it every day. Thank you all.

So excited to see this great deal on games (and books!) from one of my favorite devs, supporting one of my favorite charities.

Nighthawks, our vampire RPG, is coming in FALL OF 2026!! Seize the night as a modern monster, stepping out of the shadows to build a thriving nightclub empire through fear, seduction, and forbidden supernatural gifts. See our new trailer below, and wishlist here: bit.ly/4o36HRx

Hey, I'm gonna be speaking at @narrascope.org in Albany in June! I'm delighted to team up with fellow editor Marissa Koors to dig into the hot new trend of having your game edited and how you can get in on the craze. 2026, year of the game editor! Full schedule: narrascope.org/schedule/

TR-49's code-cracking deduction will keep you up at night

Our acclaimed narrative deduction / audio drama, TR-49, is out now on Nintendo Switch! Sadly, some performance issues have been found in the later part of the game that weren't evident on the dev hardware we used for testing. We've submitted an expedited patch to fix it. Blasted vacuum tubes!

We got an opportunity to speak with @skunkapegames.com about their remake of Poker Night at the Inventory (which comes out tomorrow!). We also go deep into the history of the original game's development and Telltale as a whole. Check it out! open.spotify.com/episode/0XXu...

Narrative game devs & marketers! I want to talk to you about marketing narrative games for a video. I've already set up a couple of chats, but would love to hear from a few more ppl. If you're down to answer a few questions, on-cam or otherwise, DMs are open! So is my email exalclaw[at]gmail.com!

TR-49 is Inkle's best launch ever. Insightful commentary on the power of words. And proof that big budgets aren't what make games good Not bad for a project that started life as a throwaway idea Inkle never planned to sell www.polygon.com/inkle-tr-49-...

Does TR-49 work on Steam Deck? Here's an entire article about how, yes, it does work on Steam Deck, via @pcgamesn.com

Go play TR-49, it's a crunchy little treat that will unfurl inside your brain with the vibes of a mandela effect you invited in. store.steampowered.com/app/3838370/...

In TR-49, a record of history is so distorted and revised by language that figuring out the truth becomes a puzzle. Will historians be able to figure out what is happening to us today when we’ve trained ourselves to speak in careful codes? My review. www.polygon.com/tr-49-review/

TR-49: OUT NOW Narrative deduction / audio drama "Outstanding" - PC Gamer "Politically fierce" - Polygon "One of the best" - Thinky Games "I wanted to know everything" - RPS "Impressive - very impressive indeed" - Eurogamer $6.99 / ~6 hours Steam: tinyurl.com/2jvt9ewk iOS: tinyurl.com/4ucwx4s7

The embargo on TR-49 reviews lifted 30 minutes ago and I'm sitting here reading the first reviews thinking, "I can't wait until @inkle.co wakes up."

24 hours from now we will release the works of Pemberton, Kendrick, Silverton and the rest into the world. We have no idea what the consequences will be. We have every reason to believe that when this happened before, it was seismic. Good luck.

Expelled! is one of the @theguardian.com top 15 switch games to play this year. Or now. You could also play it, right now. (and it’s on sale on steam for another few hours)

Would love to speak to any regular international GDC attendees who are skipping this year's show (or were going to attend and have now cancelled) due to the current political climate. DMs here or luke@aftermath.site, thank you!
