Judge
"The level design in Hollow Meridian demonstrates a rare command of environmental storytelling — every room is a thesis statement."
IGF Narrative Jury, 2025
Publisher
"Pressure Vessel made me feel like the smartest person in the room, then immediately humbled me. That's the mark of a precisely calibrated designer."
— Marcus Webb, Devolver Digital Scout
Player
"I've played Null Space seventeen times. I still don't fully understand what I'm doing. I mean that as the highest compliment."
