June’s CxG Came and Went Newsletter
Nothing much to say, Hand Eye Society Staff are hibernating right now. Please leave a message after the tone. BEEEEEEEP
We would love to welcome everyone to our official Hand Eye Society Discord channel! Join us! Hang out! Chat!
Note: Events may be cancelled, or change form, like a transformer, or like a popsicle in the sun.
Don’t forget, there’s Google Calendar, in which you can check out all of the events here in one handy, downloadable place!
You can also submit news about Toronto/GTA games and events to calendar@handeyesociety.com at any time before the month in which the event takes place (preferably with a week to spare), post to our Facebook Group (as long as it’s relevant to local games/playful media and doesn’t violate our Code of Conduct), or @ us on Twitter for a RT.

Neo Cab is a Cyberpunk taxicab confessions-like game that follows Lina, a cab driver in a future Los Angeles, who moves to the city to live with a friend who immediately disappears.
Paula Rogers is a writer, editor, and illustrator and was Lead Writer and Story Editor of the BAFTA-nominated game Neo Cab, which was named one of the best titles of 2019 by the L.A. Times, The Washington Post, and Paste Magazine, among others, and was awarded Best Narrative Design by IndieCade. You can view more of Paula’s work here: PaulaCreative.com or Twitter @paula_bot!

#ICYMI
No big deal or anything, but we had our biggest Comics x Games Festival ever! And I didn’t even need to leave my house! Here’s what you missed! Every single day was completely archived, so now you can watch from the comfort of you own home!

Happy Saturday, friends!
