Q: How do I unlock Sunglasses Macron?
A: It's very difficult to unlock Sunglasses Macron in the course of a normal game because it requires a specific and unlikely sequence of events. While default Macron is ruler of France, the USA must choose the monarchy path and then lay claim to Greenland.

French speakers will enjoy some tidbits about diseases caught by: women reading erotica, women thinking about erotica, and of course women indulging too much in pleasuring themselves

I know from experience how much of an uphill battle it can be, to even be acknowledged as a bona fide designer… πŸ˜… It’s refreshing to read about those kinds of setups

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes was maybe my favorite game to play this year. It's also proof that you can make a game that's a love letter to cinema without turning it into a vaguely interactive and mostly linear "prestige" cinematic experience. Games don't have to be movies to be culturally relevant.
