Happy to read this from whom created TM and GOW!
Reasons:
1 - Working directly with @alamodegames, very talented and crazy nice people ❤️
2 - @cellbit, crazy talented Brazilian streamer working to create awesome games (he also streamed @thecryptmaster and was crazy fun to watch)

[David Jaffe @davidscottjaffe]

Tons of Indie Horror Demos Dropped This Month. I played a bunch of them but 3 could easily be big hits (critical and/or sales wise):
#sorrywereclosed from @alamodegames
#engimaoffear from @cellbit @cellbit
and
#becrowned from @ernest_anpilov

But IMO:

1 of the demos shoots itself in the foot RIGHT at the start. If you can get past it tho, it's pretty dang good! But why does it do this?!?

1 of the demos does everything it can to make you want to quit playing but is so well done in so many other ways that you just don’t want to.

And 1 of the demos gets it JUST RIGHT!

Let’s dive deep into all 3 and discuss: what makes a great demo and how can the full games for 2 of these demos be saved?!?

NOTE: This is a MEMBERS ONLY VIDEO (links in thread). It will be free to all next week. Thx! :)

Charming sentiment but rather amusingly this review did in fact drop us to 95%, so almost out of Overwhelmingly Positive. Unless you have a game which sells a LOT of copies, which unfortunately we don't, one review certainly can make a difference...

[Estevão Arantes @estevaoarantes]

[Eidos-Montréal @EidosMontreal]

We're continuing to adapt our studio to the new realities of work. After remote working and the hybrid model, we're shifting to the 4-day work week! A better work-life balance for even more innovative games. Details 👇
