- The Neighbors Public Alpha on itch.io - 22 March 2022
We’ve kept it under wraps (unless you were on the Patreon), but we’re putting out the Alpha for our latest title on itch.io. The Neighbors is a randomly-generated immersive sim about burglarizing hideous midwestern farmhouses in the middle of nowhere, as fast as you can, and then getting the heck out of dodge. Join the free Public Alpha now! The catch? You have 4 minutes to scout and rob a house you've never been inside of before. If you're caught, AI will call the police on you. Every round, the house takes on a new configuration, with different entrances, hallways, and loot. The Neighbors is currently in Public Alpha, with one playable area and one basic tutorial. So what's on the horizon? For now, the Alpha is free for the first group of players. As the game gets more popular, we'll start charging for access to the game. We'll be updating the game every 1-2 weeks with new fixes, feat…

- Have you played Midnight Ultra? - 23 January 2018
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I’ve handed over the keys to Castle Unknown Pleasures to another writer now , but during my time panning for gold among the murky waters of Steam’s dozens-a-day new releases, one of the games that most lodged in my memory was Midnight Ultra , a neon grindhouse nightmare of an FPS.

- Midnight Ultra Featured in PC Gamer! "Five new Steam games you probably missed this week" - 8 November 2017
"Here’s an FPS with an interesting, albeit garish, retro sensibility. Set in the American Southwest, you play as a witch hunter tasked with decimating cultists. As you’ll see in the trailer, the game has a (switchable) colour palette which will either make or break your experience, but I think we can all agree that using a pentagram and crucifix as a reticule is insanely good and worth the price alone. This will take you around three hours to complete but it’s only three bucks so… the price is right?" (More here...)
