Magicians, even those outside the Enclaves walls, were blamed and reviled. All this happens in the background, of course. In practice, what youre doing starts straightforwardly. You enter a series of large, open levels to perform simple “setting up” tasks....

Forgotton Anne follow-up Forgotlings is a gorgeous jaunt into a mountain full of adorable weirdos

This is such good news I’ve basically forgiven them for doubling down on the funky spelling. It’s still a little off-putting, honestly. The premise behind the setting is that forgotten objects - Forgotlings - wake up here as sentient creatures. Hopping wardrobes, talking TVs, and the like. As Fig, you start the demo searching for your friend Silvia in a mountain. This is obviously a tricky place to search. You’ll scramble up ledges, wall jump, and slowly drag yourself up steep hills....

Foundation, the gridless medieval townbuilder, has hit 1.0 after five years of Early Access

Then it turned outAlice was the one starving them. Five years later, Foundation has just hit 1.0. I really don’t want to undersell the size of the update. One of the other subheadings is “a completely revamped art direction.” No minor final tweaks are these. Mods will also need updating, and as such are not currently available immediately after the 1.0 launch. Whether any of this will allow Alice B to live down her bread shame, I do not know....
