We’re not done with you.

Four games in 16 days was the warm-up. Thirty by April.

Where Fliinch goes from here, month by month: six months, six doors, and what is behind each one. These are plans, not promises. Dates move. The games stay free.

  2. Thirty by April. Every one of them free.
  3. A horror studio the size of the ones we grew up on, built in Toronto, in the open, one door at a time.
