Until morale improves. Impressions: Welp, that was a pretty slow episode, right up until it wasn't, and then it was again. This is exactly what I was hoping for last week, a way to neuter the looping a bit and make it not just a free constant reset button. The monsters are also now […]

Summer Time Render #17 — Old People With Strange Heads
