Raw Fury

The pixelated image of a hooded feminine figure standing, clad in creams and blues, in stark contrast to a dark green wooden wall behind them. They cut a notable triangular shape against it. It's a sweet but slightly haunting image.

An illustration for the game Knights in Tight spaces. Three fantasy heroes - a mage, a crouching rogue, and an armour knight - are the focus of the image, facing the viewer. In the darkness, in the foreground, the outlines of would-be assailants can be seen. Behind them, through a stained glass window, the glow of an evening sun can be seen. A fight is about to break out.

Feature

Knights in Tight Spaces brings fantasy RPG trappings to a Roguelike core, and they make a significant difference

A disturbing illustration showing a number of eyes poking out of a grey, many-stranded mass. The central eye is large, yellowing, and bloodshot - bloodshot to the point that blood is pooling and dripping from it. Charming.

A screenshot from American Arcadia. Think 1970s. A man - Trevor - stands behind a podium ready to address an audience, with a TV screen hanging behind him. The room around him is all oranges and reds, and he has a moustache and glasses and longish frumpy hair. And a tank top. Don't forget the tank top.
