We handed @abiram_shan over to @stir_world for a while to talk about where we come from, and want to go, as (Indian) storytellers!

Sharing the article with us, @wjhollyart offers a deeply personal look into his childhood, and how it has shaped his games.

Go check the piece out!

@BwaaBiT We haven't settled on anything yet!

[The Roots Collective @TheRootsCollect]

Ha! The last thing we expected from the movie that inspired Death of a Detective was that it'd become a meme! #AndhaNaal #DoaD
