So a cozy British streamer that I was following (before I stopped being able to attend those), GamesInTweed, who does a lot of kaizo Mario stuff on stream, was recently working on his own SMW romhack, and it finally got released around the end of spooky month! It's called “Everyone's Gone”, and it's an atmospheric horror/puzzle hack.

I was chosen as part of the playtest group earlier in his Discord guild, which gave me an opportunity to be a strange hypertext beast taking HTML notes¹. I like how the release version came out, and of course I feel vaguely good that I wound up in the tester credits. So if you like that sort of thing, you might want to check it out.

Also, there is a small part with colorful birds, which is always a plus, and there is a part that has caused me to have a new headcanon around Princess Peach adoring soprano clef and using her cultural influence to ensure that it remains common in the Mushroom Kingdom rather than fading from use as it did in our world.

¹ And, mumble mumble, get some practice on doing anything at all while trying to spin my broken brainstate back up in some flaily sort of way…
