| What to Listen to This Week?

This week, I’ve been revisiting the soundtrack from The Game, a 1997 thriller that I hold dear for its unique storytelling and atmospheric tension. I highly recommend giving it a try.

| Final Thoughts

That’s it for this week’s newsletter! I hope you found something that caught your eye. It's still very cold where I live and so I have a good excuse to stay at home and play. You should still go out every now and then so as not to disappear completely into games. :) Take care of yourselves.

Until next time,
Belane
