Star Seeker in: the Secret of the Sorcerous Standoff, my game about solving wizard murder, is out now! Thanks to Justin McElroy for voicing the trailer!

Good news: magic is real! Bad news: magic is highly illegal. Star Seeker is a wizard and you must solve a wizard crime or else get thrown in wizard jail by wizard– I mean, just regular police.

In this short one-room mystery adventure, collect evidence and use it to clear up the useless detective’s many confusions- and don’t worry about getting it wrong. Every hare-brained idea you can possibly pitch to the detective prompts unique dialogue!

#oooooh #I haven’t had a chance to play the main game yet but the demo is great and Benedict does great stuff in general #Star Seeker #games #signal boost #death mention #(disclosure: I helped add Linux support to this game) #((like it wasn’t a paid position or anything‚ I just gave him a few tips from a long-time Linux user‚ but nor am I entirely arm’s-length))

prokopetz:

Concept: villain receives one of those “neither man nor woman etc.” prophecies and thinks they’re terribly clever for going “aha, that doesn’t rule out nonbinary people”, so they spend the next few years being terribly suspicious of anyone with non-traditional gender presentation, and then they’re murdered by a teenager.
