I make small logic-driven worlds because the overwhelming chaotic disgusting beautiful unfathomable mess of the real world scares the shits out of me.

⚔️Sharpen your swords and pray to your lords!🙏
Death of the Reprobate will be released on November 7th!
I am withered to a husk, but the triptych is almost complete! I could really do with your help spreading the word about this one, if nobody buys it I will be very very sad.

In Procession to Calvary you can solve the puzzles the traditional way or you can simply murder the quest-givers...

My entire UI aesthetic is dumb workarounds for anything vaguely complicated...
Today I wanted to teleport the cursor up to the inventory if you press "i" but I couldn't figure it out so instead I made "i" trigger a little carrot that tempts people to move the cursor themselves

And by 'something fun' I am, of course, referring to a violent unprovoked stabbing by a nameless masked assailant.

Dear Father Twittermas,
For Christmas I would like 25 reviews (preferably positive) for my game Four Last Things on Steam. It currently has 975 reviews. Reaching 1000 reviews would make me very happy. I believe I have been a good boy this year.
Thank you.

This is what my first draft dialogue looks like. It hurts me to remove such quality lines as 'get that dick wet, bad boy' but sometimes something beautiful must be lost for the greater good of the artwork as a whole.

“He farted in the pre-ferment for my malt loaf, and the yeast became so active that it lifted the thatch off my kitchen”
Still one of my favorite lines in Procession, but – more importantly – HOLY CRUD those subtitles are sooo UGLY I'm so sorry for putting you through that!

I decided this was a bit too aggressive to just exist as standard, so I've hidden it behind this apparently nonsensical toggle in the options menu. I feel this makes it funnier, but also softens the tone somehow by turning it into a callback gag.
