Cultist Simulator: the Renewal of Skin
Windows are much smarter about where they open. Here the window knows not to open off-screen. There should be much less fiddly-jiggly damnit-I-can’t-read-the-slot. Especially cos, yes, the zoom now finally works.
The Hands of Time
[UPDATE: when I heard the feedback from players, I decided definitely *not* to go with the harsher pause strategy below. I’m leaving this post live for historical interest!]
