This isn’t technically news, but more like a Public Service Announcement. There’s an indie game called …But That Was [Yesterday]. It’s excellent and totally worth five minutes of your time. I’m normally pretty sceptical when I’m sent links to check things out, especially when they’re links to flash-based browser games that are supposed to justify the whole “games as art†…
