    Back when I was working on Dusk, I stumbled on this easter egg in the Korg Minilogue. If you move the filter while it's starting up, it's starts a game of breakout.

    finished Hotel Dusk. really special game even if the narrative is a little uneven at times. miss this era of people doing weird shit with mutant hardware — it just wouldn't feel the same without the touch screen, mic, book layout of the DS, etc.

    This track is called "Departure to Destruction"! DUSK was an absolutely awesome game! The gameplay was fast paced and thrilling, and the controls really helped with that, they felt great! The horror movie vibes that the game gave off were cool and ofc, the OST slapped 😤 it was a super fun game!

    DUSK is a wrap! Took around 7 hours to beat. That was an awesome experience! The solid movement and gunplay made for fun gameplay, the music was an absolute bop during combat, and the vibe was unique for an FPS! All of these elements combined made for an absolute blast of a game, it was really fun!

    DUSK! 4 hours in! ngl this game is awesome! The gameplay is crazy amounts of fun, and being able to bunnyhop around at high speeds makes it even more fun! The music during combat is also banger lmao it can be confusing at first (E1M1 does not give you a lot of guidance), but after that it's a blast!
