From skeletal cowboys to trippy detective layouts, Paul Kirchnerโ€™s surreal comics helped shape the visual language of Nirvana Noir.

On this editing pass I've decided "Nothing Ever Stops Existing" is the best thing I've written because it's the only essay that hasn't pissed me off while rereading it youtu.be/Wmi_6D6vwBQ?...

I really liked the demos for Phonopolis, Titanium Court, and People of Note.

Also I just started playing The Seance of Blake Manor and it really is as fun as everybody says.

Just trying to follow the advice "if you like something, let people know."

Titanium Court Demo on Steam A surreal strategy game for clowns and criminals.

TITANIUM COURT is a match-3 puzzle game where you rearrange the tile board into a battlefield to send your faerie court to fight and die for you as befitting your status as the Queen of Fae only you never got the script and you just want to go home. There is so MUCH happening and it's a DELIGHT.

I've mentioned it before, but Titanium Court bears repeating

Beautifully unhinged genre fusion. A comedy strategy roguelite match-3 autobattler with intricate showering mechanics. You have been appointed Queen Of The Fairies, and must lead your troops (who do not follow orders) to win wars. For fun

Just played through the #SteamNextFest demo for @apthomson.bsky.social's Titanium Court, and this might be my most anticipated game now! A nearly indescribable blend of match-3, tower defense, roguelike, and A Midsummer Night's Dream?! Also, the writing slays!

Titanium Court is probably going to be The Game Everyone Is Talking About when it comes out. I guess its somewhere between Inscryption and Frog Fractions in a match-3 puzzle wrapper. An absolute must-play from my brief time with it.

Sliding Titanium Court up further on my wishlist. You like tower defense? Shenanigans? Strongly recommend checking out the demo! Had a very fun time about this one.

Titanium Court is fucking nuts. Match 3 plus tactics. It's tricky! And the style is incredible.

Titanium Court on Steam A surreal strategy game for clowns and criminals.

titanium court is almost indescribable. ostensibly a match 3 resource gathering game. but with fantastic writing and strong plotting. in a match 3 game??? absurd and surreal in presentation, and with a wonderful soundtrack that has some GYBE! grooves. you have to play it. my favorite so far.
