my initial disgust toward the oot aesthetic is in itself so interesting that i can't help but kinda love it now....... like i can't remember the last time a AAA game's visual language made me feel something so viscerally.....

Hoping to re-record the lost episode but I do have to give a special shoutout to The Wide Open Sky is Running Out of Catfish, a delightfully funky ecosystem of critters and systems. At once a whimsical escapist fantasy and a reminder that escapism alone is not sufficient. @zipit-games.bsky.social

We had a new episode recorded but the computer ated it. Sorry y'all, the toughest game of all looks to be finding a recording service that isn't vibe-coded.

Stayed up way past my (self-proclaimed) bedtime playing the beautiful fever dream that is The Wide Open Sky is Running out of Catfish. In the same breath it is nostalgic, new, deeply calming, and exciting. The soundtrack hit, and the story moved. store.steampowered.com/app/3172760/...

charlie kilgore, the composer of catfish, absolutely emotionally decimated me with every track delivered. we tried really hard to make the game meet the quality of the music... it's that good, y'all.
