Text reads: Choose Wisely Festival, celebrating branching narrative games. December 8-15. Hosted by Studio Ephua. Upheaval featured. Graphics are: The key art for the Choose Wisely Festival, a black woman with no pupils, billowy, fluffy white hair, and big blue gem earrings looks at the key art for Upheaval, to the right. The key art for Upheaval: a traveller surveys a landscape and a blue sky obscured by clouds. In the foreground, a mysterious traveller in a cloak stands on a mountain path, facing away from us, down the mountain. They have an enchanted sword on their back, a book on their belt, and they're holding a gold ring on a chain in their hand. In the background, at the bottom of the mountain, is a flat plain with a small village on the right and a road leading away from it to the left. Behind the plain is a dense, impenetrable forest. Far in the distance are mountains hidden in fog.

Thank you so much to @studioephua.bsky.social for featuring Upheaval in the #ChooseWiselyFestival, on #Steam now!

Game devs with turn-based games should apply! These are great people, highly recommend. :)

If anyone wants to lose days or years of their life, they should definitely play dotAGE. It's like video games crack, but, like, you know, in a good way!
