60 of 124 · most liked firstCairn embargo is up and I am so pleased to say the game is a triumph. Gorgeous, nerve-wracking, and I don't think I've ever heard a vocal performance like the one given by the protagonist. Just a coiled spring of determination and anger. Remarkable.

unlabelledView post →Cairn is one of the most remarkable games of the past 10 years, let alone 2026.
