A decade writing about games later, and I still feel fortunate whenever PR reaches out with a review opportunity. That said, the "key enclosed" bait-and-switch & verification rigmarole of key sites is a barrier to entry I'm just not entertaining anymore.

With the success of Iron Lung and The Mortuary Assistant in theaters, I wrote about 6 other horror games in desperate need of a film adaptation already.
Me and @notfunnyj.bsky.social have been working on @saferoompod.bsky.social for five years now, and what a wonderful journey through horror gaming big and small (and very small) it has been!
Thank you to everyone who has listened to and/or particpated in the podcast in that time!
