My prize was…£1. The ticket cost me £2. Genuinely, is it even a prize if you’re out of pocket? Surely that’s just a partial refund 😵 Anyway, I wonder what I should spend my prize money on?21 Jun 2026 08:14 +0000at://did:plc:ftlsjmkcd32oe4ejd7cpnxbx/app.bsky.feed.post/3morwiftanc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/backyardzoo.bsky.social/post/3molhqnmhec2cThis is one of my favourite #quiethorror moments from the demo. I just find the idea of the door not being real absolutely terrifying. The first inkling that your reality is falling apart… Thank you again for playing. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4554960/Mayfly_Demo #gamedev #indiegame #steamdemo [contains quote post or other embedded content]18 Jun 2026 18:34 +0000at://did:plc:ftlsjmkcd32oe4ejd7cpnxbx/app.bsky.feed.post/3molhqnmhec2chttps://bsky.app/profile/backyardzoo.bsky.social/post/3mogjdfl5rk27I had so much fun watching this - not an inch of that narrowboat left unexplored 🫶 Thank you @mustlovedon.bsky.social Just a few small a11y improvements to be made for the next version bump, delighted with that!
