Guess it's #introduction time?
I'm Peter, young of heart, (relatively) old of age, and somewhere in-between during a full moon...
I โ๏ธ about #indiegames on www.wraithkal.com.
tl;dr? Then check out www.youtube.com/@Wraithkal instead.
Or both! Why not both? Both are great.
Now to explore BlueSky! ๐
Good things come to those who excavate. Like, y'know, a bustling museum! What am I on about? Ah, my review of Digseum contains the answer...

Just got done prepping a review of a game I've been sitting on for far too long. The review, not the game. No one sits on games. They play them. Or keep them forever in their backlog. Or wishlist.
Anyway... review hype? ๐

Somehow I have got this far as a gamer and never played Half-Life.
So I'm changing that, and finally playing this classic for the first time in 2026! Come along and watch me fight my arch nemesis: ladders.

Itโs now pretty much exactly one month since Nighthawks came out. No tech disasters, people seem to have enjoyed it, and we sold more than my prediction of (checks) five copies, soโฆ I think we can call honour satisfied! Of course, please keep buying it, ta. store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...

Been kinda maybe not-so-subtly restructuring my game coverage efforts as of late, and so while I continue to figure things out, how about a review of Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery?

๐ฆ We've got a new version of the itch app for you today! You can now manage collections directly in app. Also Steam Shortcuts feature has been enhanced, with Proton support for Windows games on Linux. Check it out:

Jam hosts now have access to "Submission requirements" to control what pages are eligible for submission, including blocking pages that disclose the use of generative AI, blocking paid games, blocking preexisting games, and more.
The "Adults Only" ranking has been removed from Nighthawks!
Everything is set for launch on the 22nd!
Phew. What a roller coaster. Thank you everyone for your amazing support while we got this sorted.
If you weren't able to wishlist before, now you can!

Yes, much as I hate to turn down possible buyers, if you acquire Nighthawks specifically for the sexy, you will swiftly be disappointed that it consists of a couple of butts and some largely comedic romance sequences with conveniently placed hands or scenery.
We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.

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.

I'm no Viking expert, but I did my best when re-reviewing (since, admittedly, my original take was lacking) the quirky dating sim that is Doki Doki Ragnarok.

Was hoping to start working on a review of a newly released game today. Sadly, there are multiple reasons for me abandoning even rolling credits on it, so... instead, I'm gonna release a new video (which is also a review) tomorrow! ๐
