The eighth door on the 2023 RPS Advent Calendar leads, technically, to Hell, but the good news is that you don’t have to go through it so much as stop anything coming the other way…

Working hard or hardly working? It’s time to build your deck and upgrade your tower inHeretic’s Fork.

When Ifirst wrote about Heretic’s Fork, soon after it launched, this wasn’t the case. Tired of needing to focus on particular paths if I wanted to win, I thought I had played enough and was about down with it. Then the updates started, and I haven’t stopped. Tweaks and new cards have made it viable to mix different elements and structure types. Other new cards have added exciting new opportunities and combos. And new difficulty tiers to climb. And new characters. And a Christmas update is still to come.

Fun little fake desktop environment, too. Nice little paperclip pal. Funny and silly and grim little stories of corporate Hell flowing through your inbox. Love a fake desktop.
