TR-49 meets IMDB. 14 year old me is very excited 😀
m.imdb.com/title/tt3966...
150k Stretch goal unlocked!
Bit of context to what these items are. These items are throwables like bombs, mines, and dirt clods. Advanced weapon items (like beam swords or home-run bats) require much more animation work and will appear in a later sub-stretch goal.

It’s the new Amelia companion pod hosted by @maty-from-ceres.bsky.social
In the first episode they tell their story, from superfan to intern to podcaster, and next week the episode deep-dives begin!

RIP Catherine O’Hara
~30 different comments and reviews praising the voice acting work in TR-49
I'm so grateful to be a part of @inkle.co's incredible TR-49, and even moreso that the efforts of @rmcloughlin.bsky.social, @paulwarren.bsky.social, and myself, are being so warmly received. Not to mention, of course, the stellar work of the in-game authors'-narrations. What a special game.
Get ready
"From the moment you boot into the game, right up until the very end, it takes you on a journey and immerses you in the story in a way I’ve never quite experienced like this."

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s just the once. Abbi makes it count 😂
I don’t know, I think Abbi was a lot more controlled in her replies than me 😂
I knew what was coming and still threw some expletives around 😅
A woman wearing glasses is looking at the screen in black and white. The following quote is also included: "There is a melancholy here that feels new for Inkle Studios. Where Heaven's Vault offered the joy of linguistic discovery mixed with exploration, TR-49 offers the burden of knowledge itself."
A World War II computer. An archive of lost books. A world-changing secret. Narrative deduction meets audio drama in TR-49.

a quote from the PC Gamer review: Voice acting is outstanding throughout, with lots of entertaining pomposity from the authors reading their extracts. Even better is the drama happening upstairs. William and Abbi start the game in terrible danger and things only get worse from there. The highlight is when someone very unpleasant indeed starts communicating with you, giving a truly sinister performance as they try to find Abbi’s location and taunt her about how her failure is inevitable. That was a fun voice to hear on Friday night when I still hadn’t solved the mystery and the review deadline was getting closer.
a quote from the Indieloupe review: I can’t leave TR-49 without quickly mentioning its voice cast: I’ve thus far neglected the fact that inkle not only describe it as a narrative deduction game but also an audio drama, and they seem really quite proud of the acting in this game. They have every right to be. The two leads, Rebekah McLoughlin and Paul Warren do an excellent job which adds a huge amount to the game: it would be great without them, but is significantly elevated by their delivery of Ingold’s dialogue. Additional snippets of voice work provide flavour throughout, but it’s a standout performance from Phillipe Bosher which provided yet another instance of something that stayed with me long after I finished the game.
🚨TR-49🚨
To begin at the beginning... TR-49 is a game about words, and stories, and the power they have. Yet words fail me now. Pride. Gratitude. Delight. Thank you @indieloupe.com, @pcgamer.com for your kindnesses. Thank you, reader, for playing. My heart is full.
“There’s a ghost in this machine and we can’t be sure whether it’s offering a lesson from the past or a prophecy for the future.”
