Joy and delight are coveted jewels, out of reach of the masses. This is not the world you were promised. Travel by night and take it back. Journey through a world in decline, slowly falling prey to the damaging effects of Entropy. Challenge unique & deadly bosses, meet new allies, enemies, and every shade in-between, and make harsh moral choices. There are many paths worth taking. Choose yours."

Thank Goodness You're Here! - 2024

"Childhood friends and adulthood collaborators, Will Todd and James Carbutt released The Good Time Garden for free on Steam in 2019, establishing a unique house style that pulls influence from dusty VHS tapes of 90s kids TV, cold cups of tea, and soggy copies of the Beano. Since then, they’ve been hard at work on Thank Goodness You’re Here!, a delightfully surreal homage to their hometown in Northern England."
