The fact that 12 years later people play this game and have such visceral reactions. I wouldn't have thought it possible. I can't ever overstate what it means. It's so beyond lucky, I will never repay the debt I owe to the world for this.
Thank you
@PlayStation
for the free games and making us that much closer to this reality
I'm delighted to stand alongside some esteemed colleagues at the Golden Joystick Awards, for Sword of the Sea! Now let's all go vote for Expedition 33!
To call this an honor is a grave understatement 💗
I played Doom, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter etc as a kid. I think Journey shows just how savage they made me

HADES 2 has been a LIFE highlight! Every year we've managed to raise the bar on our ongoing friendship and collaboration but this blew it into orbit. "Grateful" doesn't cut it...
It's SWORD OF THE SEA launch day! I'm *SO* happy to be sharing this one at long last! We started work on it 2021 & it's been a major labor of love that whole time.
@GiantSquidology
always pushes to make something poignant, artful & unique and I only hope the music follows suit
This one is the real fucking deal
One of the most painfully real things I've ever seen
I'm beyond honored to see STRAY GODS nominated at the Grammys, above all because I get to share this with my wonderful friends from
