Had a really weird few days with work and other stuff so I’m all mixed up now, sorry about the late post. My schedule is all over the place. Hopefully next week we’ll be back to normal.

So this is technically a new release, but Pokemon Ghost Grey. I think it's the best romhack I've played in years. It's so creepy and really shows off how Pokemon's Gen III engine can really work for item-management survival horror. Lots of great psychological horror and dystopian themes. The protagonist looking intentionally different in his/her metagame character portrait vs. actual mirrors and photographs is, um, relatable 😅.

Oh, Summer is the best rival too.
