Calum Fraser

Founder of Alpha Beta Gamer and all round video game enthusiast, especially quirky indies. Aware that we're now in the golden days of video gaming. Hairier than any human should be.

Land of Screens – Alpha Demo

by

Land of Screens is a poignant narrative-driven adventure about a young woman who ditches social media in search of more meaningful real-life interactions.

The beautifully drawn world of Land of Screens is an all too familiar one – it’s a place where people interact with each other more online then they do in real life. People spend most their life staring at screens and even … Read More
