Testimonials:
"Aliza does a great job playing around in the multilayered reality of video game absurd hyperviolence, nostalgia, and childhood fear in a really simple package, it's very elegant."
--jess, author of Planet Fist
"I felt nostalgic reading this <3"
--Snow, author of .dungeon and Songbirds
"I hope that this is going to be somebody's first indie ttrpg, because this is such a strong example of a reflective game. The use of evocative writing to encourage the reader that they should dwell on these experiences, which they remember but may not have reflected on... that's good shit. Aliza is good at that."
--Scampir, author of Das Drachenschwert
"Just gave this a read and this bite sized lil game looks like it'd hit juuuust right in terms of capturing those surreal vibes in the liminal twilight of 2 a.m. hunched over a portable tube TV with 2 Xbox controllers and the volume cranked just low enough to be stealthy"

This game is nostalgic of late nights playing Halo 2 splitscreen. Love it. And the cover artwork is gorgeous.
