The game was deeply discussed in the Podcast "New game old flame": 51. Fuming brains - New Game Old Flame. Thank you for that
Hey Fleischgemüse,
we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have mentioned your game “Fizz” in our very first issue.
Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards
Titania
Hello,
