Proving our place in the cosmos already HAS extraordinary evidence. Our continued existence (and witness to that) IS the evidence. No one bar solipsists doubt that humans exist.

I took your advice and read the article, IT WAS A GOOD ARTICLE. Thank you!
I think if you're expecting traditional horror, it's more likely just going to frustrate for sure.
You either have the fear the director is trying to evoke, or you don't.
Fair enough, a CBC News review said
"Even though [Skinamarink] has cemented its place as one of my favourite releases of 2023, I almost feel I'd have better odds playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun than finding someone to recommend it to who'd actually enjoy it."
It's not a narrative film as much as just a mood, an evocation, tapping into a very unique experience.
SKINAMARINK.
Two kids wake up in the middle of the night, and things are just ... Not right. The door's not where it's supposed to be, the chairs in the dining room aren't right, mum and dad are acting odd...
It's such a primal form of horror for me, when simple things are just - different... It's either painfully boring for people, or uniquely terrifying.
As much as I'd love a sale, the game is really quite tough. My partner was/is streaming it on twitch, she's a moderately good gamer and she spent probably an hour on one of the mid stage duets.
I do have "Less Hard" as a difficulty setting that drops the notes you saw in the trailer, probably in half. And if people really want an "Even Less Hard" mode, I can add that in probably a day or two.
I DIDNT KNOW STEAM WAS GONNA PUBLISH THAT ON PAGE. Haha I thought steam just wanted to know every possible naughty thing so they could assess who to share the game to during marketing. But FINE.
Ahhhh thanks so much, I'd love to know what you think!
Ooh if you love rhythm games you'll definitely be able to play through it I reckon. Hard mode is pretty tough, but I added Less Hard which has fewer notes and wider note trigger zones. And if you ever get stuck, you can switch on Nigel Mode which plays the level for you.
Haha thanks so much! Ive been working on it on the side, but also most weekends for about 8 hours a day (no kids helps!). I worked night shift at the sleep lab for 5 years, and when the patients were snoozin' I'd just start working on it. When I went back to day shifts and actually had to do my job, progress slowed a bit, but then it just ended up gobbling ALL weekends.
If it's a randomly selected Windows User, I'll take Linux and bank on the windows user being like, a 60 year old boomer with internet explorer 6.0. The "average* Linux user would wipe the floor with me.
Man I get it, it's important to do this kind of research so we understand the impacts of our actions.
But boy oh boy is this bad optics for environmentalists. I can just hear Murdoch's propaganda arm going "the Greenies want you to kill your dogs for climate change".
