Weeklong Deals for 5/27/19
We have a few uncommon deals mixed in with the rest of the Weeklong Deals this week, along with an entire catalog of interesting titles. The Playism games are on sale, which covers everything from La Mulana and One Way Heroics to odd little experimental RPGs and shooters. There’s a lot of stuff on there that I want to take a look at eventually, and you might just find something that tickles your fancy, too.
Important stream reminder: This Friday we’re having our second-ever prime-time marathon stream to celebrate reaching 250 followers! I’ll be streaming from 9am to 5pm PDT, so be sure to drop by, say hey, and check out what we’re playing. I haven’t decided what we’re doing for it yet, so stay tuned for more programming info!
