I feel a bit shy to share this, because it feels personal to have such a spotlight on me, but I am really grateful to be featured in a Microsoft Developer Story. Thank you @MSFTGameDev / @msdev ! It was so much fun to shoot this with the excellent team!

Don't Notice Me is 80% off right now!!! That means it's only $1.79 CAD. It's a reverse escape room game where you try to break into a home. It's a comedic, narrative puzzle game. I spent a year making it and I hope you enjoy playing it!
