By far the coolest game I've seen at Steam Next Fest is Inkblood. It knows exactly what it wants to be, has a great aesthetic, original worldbuilding, and some genuinely cool puzzles. Highly recommend checking it out. store.steampowered.com/app/4114100/...

Finally had some time to share my thoughts on one of 2026's best games: Esoteric Ebb. The real question isn't whether you should play it, but if you'll play it before it gets on all the best of lists like a cool person. youtu.be/8IURcA0MBFQ
I'm a sucker for a beautiful game art book and I just couldn't resist @summereternal.com
I wrongly assumed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was going to be a very blokey game and held off playing it for months. And now I am 200 hours into playing this behemoth (send halp I'm obsessed). My latest game writing review... youtu.be/BzqBDgSCxbw?...
I've been working hard behind the scenes doing a lot of pre-press work on Credo. But it's coming out next week and I got to be in front of the camera explaining how to play the game! 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Bs...
@sovereigntower.bsky.social is so much fun: you manage a knightly group of goths, psychopaths and mummy's boys alongside a demonic, time travelling lock. Did I mention the cheese festivals? My review. youtu.be/dLc9kyODWVs
Guess who has a new Call of Cthulhu game out today?! An Ominous Herald is a murder-mystery set in ancient Rome. Think Knives Out at the Villa of Hadrian. If you want to fight the Cthulhu Mythos wearing a toga and wielding a trident, this one's for you. legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/5840...
Had a great time playing pirate for charity last night at Australia's biggest D&D game. If you've got a few doubloons spare, please consider donating to the Starlight Children's Foundation. www.starlight.org.au/donate/
Very pleased to see Worldcon is coming to Australia in 2028! I was involved with very early conrunning discussions about a Brissie Worldcon and am so happy to see this!!! www.lacon.org/2026/08/30/a... Can't wait to welcome all my fan friends here 🐨
I feel weird posting this given the news from ZA/UM, but Zero Parades is a thought-provoking game that deserves more attention. I talk on art as a tool of soft power, middle-aged women in games, and how you can’t save scum life. Video: youtu.be/4y_iACJ4PnE Essay: www.katclay.com/replayabilit...
New video up on how I edit my work. I talk about stepping away from projects, taking feedback and getting that ol' red pen out.

My friends and colleagues James and David are launching their gorgeous TTRPG Time Without Tide. Have I had a sneaky look inside? Yes. Is it amazing? Yes. You definitely want to back this one.
