GAME TO CHECK OUT
Hollow Cocoon: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2414630/Hollow_Cocoon/
A first-person horror adventure game set in 1980s Japan. “Step into the shoes of Minato Jinba, a college student returning to his mother’s hometown after receiving news that his grandmother is in critical condition. Hide yourself from the monster and gather vital evidence to unravel the bone-chilling truth lurking beneath the surface!” Reviews for this one seem mostly positive with some criticism of the fetch quest nature of the gameplay, but if Showa-era horror appeals to you, check it out!
FEATURED ART
I’m a big fan of pixel art and landscapes, so this one especially stood out to me this week. Enjoy!
