Super fast write ups of summer!!🌻
Hello all!
Summer is in full swing here on Long Island! And it seems hotter than I recall from past years.. with us hitting high 80’s and low 90’s more days than I can count! Ach! I love the summer.. but it is very hard to lie on the beach in 90+ weather and claim to be enjoying the “relaxing times.” Haha. It feels like broiling on a sand grill! Sure the water is refreshing.. but, you get the idea. 😅
Mind you.. I’ll be whining about the cold of winter soon enough. Ha!
When I do, someone please remind me of this post! 😅
Anyhoo, it’s going to be another “copy/paste the basic write-up into each new game” sort of week. As I slide farther into retirement, it just seems that my time on the ol’ laptop is diminishing rapidly. Haha. I mean, that is a good thing… I think. Except for the fact that it doesn’t allow me to spend gobs of hours researching play-through videos and writing up games with helpful pointers and witty banter and all that jazz… soooooo… here we are. 😬
The new reality…. 🥺
Someone save me… from myself! 🙏🫨
LIFE ANALYSIS 🧐
Are write-ups that don’t have a ton of flair a smidge underwhelming?
Yes… yes they are. 😪
But, will that let me finish in time to get back to weeding my garden and endlessly trying to stop the wildlife from eating the spoils of war?
Why yes… yes it will (or at least it should). 😅
Haha. My LIFE!
Back to the actual game discussion. Here we go… buckle up. 🛻

Description
The Dark Quarter by Lucky Duck games has arrived! Here at Upstart I am offering “The Whole Damn Agency” pledge. Loads of wonderful content and thematic wonder! See write up for the details!
Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1980: a vibrant city of music, food, and magic. Neon lights flicker in dirty puddles up and down Bourbon street; the innovations of the modern world clash with ancient and terrible traditions; and murder is never simple. The Beaumont Agency, staffed with a roster of brilliant, colorful, and ultimately flawed private investigators, specializes in solving cases that no one else can crack.
In The Dark Quarter, a co-operative app-driven adventure game set in a dark, fantastical vision of 1980s New Orleans, players each take control of a Beaumont agent and work alongside one another to solve the worst crimes that New Orleans has to offer. It’s a world full of magic, where hexing curses are sold on every street, where voodoo priestesses and creatures of the night are lurking around every corner, and where even the most mundane crimes have a tinge of the supernatural to them.
Through multi-scenario campaigns, the game tells a rich, dynamic story and invites players to make critical decisions that will not only affect their characters, but change the direction and course of the story. The characters are not simply avatars, easily replaceable from scenario to scenario; instead, they are woven into the very fabric of the story itself. Their destiny and the destiny of New Orleans are inextricably linked together.
