If you're not wearing it already, I suggest you bloody well go and put your thinking cap on - you're going to need it on tightly.



As part of our partnership with CRITICAL REFLEX, we've worked closely with the brilliant (and freshly rebranded) Hey Bird! on an ARG to bring you into the world of their newly announced occult-detective game, Inkblood.

Solve Agatha's ARG[www.pantaloon.io] - find her missing meteorite - and guarantee a copy of either Mouthwashing, Arctic Eggs, THRESHOLD or Buckshot Roulette in the process.

Think smart. Choose wisely. GL x

DECEMBER! PANTALOON! CRITICAL REFLEX! YES.

We're seeing out 2025 with a partnership we've had our eye on since our newsletter began. All the coy smiles and eye-lid fluttering has paid off.

For December we're partnering with the kings and queens of the unhinged, Critical Reflex, to bring you not one, not two (don't even talk to me about three) but FOUR games: Mouthwashing, Arctic Eggs, THRESHOLD and Buckshot Roulette. Re-bloody-joice.









Which of the four will you get? Well. If you can solve this month's puzzle, which will go live on December 11th, you'll be able to choose. As will our Primo subscribers. Otherwise Lady Luck will do her thing.

Hello and hark and all that. October was a big month for Pantaloon. Our Ballionaire collab with Raw Fury was one of our most high-profile partnerships to date. Weird game, right? But lots of colour wasn't there? Quite bright! Quite vivid!

Yeah this month we're going for DARK and DANK. I want you feeling grubby and uncomfortable playing this month's game.

For November we've linked arms with Enigma Studio to bring you MOTHERED; a psychological horror RPG, and crucial entry in the [ENIGMA] Trilogy. Subscribe to the newsletter[www.pantaloon.io] to gear up for a key.

MOTHERED is the second game in the [ENIGMA] Trilogy (don't worry, makes sense to play first) - a first-person horror adventure game with point-and-click sensibilities, set in the somewhat familiar / somewhat disturbing locale of 'home'.

Following the events of a single week, you'll step into the shoes of LIANA - a young girl who's arrived at the aforementioned 'home' (ominous isn't it) to stay with her mother, who's just undergone major surgery.



Ok, that's it for now. Keys drop to newsletter subscribers on November 27th.

Until then, then.

The servers are spun up. The arsenal is stocked. The enemy is lining up at the frontline.

It's time to connect.

It Takes a War - which is OUT NOW! - has been confusing players and journalists a-like since it was announced in September. “Was the game made in 2001 or is it set in 2001?”, “So is just that one map like?" and “What tf am I looking at!?” are all things that have been asked since then.

Missed the latest trailer? Because it basically doesn’t clear any of those questions up at all. It makes things more confusing, if anything.

We're mega-chuffed to be partnering with Julián Cordero, Sebastian Valbuena and the fine folks at Panic for the Five-A-Side Bundle; a package bringing Despelote and It Takes a War under one roof.

Slice-of-life soccer adventure and team-based tactical shooter. What an unlikely pair!? But what if I told you there are deeper thematic ties here than first meets the eye? Noughties nostalgia, friendship, and a longing for connection.


Launch day, everyone!

Thank you to everyone and anyone who decides to check the game out (yes, even you). I put a lot of hard work into this project and I really appreciate the support I've received so far.

If you end up enjoying It Takes a War, please feel free to leave a review. I’m always very anxious to share my work with people, but despite that I would still love to know what you thought! Unless it's something bad, in that case I'd rather you send a handwritten letter if that's okay. An insult is always easier to swallow when you can see the person's handwriting.

I don't expect this game to necessarily be as much of a "crowd-pleaser" as THE CORRIDOR, but it's just as personal to me (if not more) and so if it resonates with even a few of you I'll consider it a job well done.

Stay connected out there! Or don't, whatever's best for you.

It Takes a War will launch on November 6th, which is very soon indeed. We announced the release date in the Galaxies Autumn Showcase event, with a brand new trailer...

Watch the new Angry Shark Trailer!

Note: Just ignore the stuff that happens at the end there. A technical thing we couldn't remove from the edit in time. It's fine. Don't worry.

So if you missed your chance to play during Steam Next Fest, fret not. You can still play now! Wonderful!

Nine days to go, then! Do a wishlist and all will be right with the world.
