TACK N°6 – SUMMER IS CALLING : Sea of Solitude: the sea, fear, acceptance and surfacing itâs conditions.
Personally Iâm not a big fan of summer, I find that this season is just a large amount of time where people force themselves to complete meaningless and futile tasks under the pretext that itâs to get us out of our comfort zones.

TACK N°4 – NOSTALGIA : Embrace the old way or the new one ? Game design being put to the test by nostalgia.
Which games age the best ?
