Dawn [Review]

I imagine some gamers might take their first step into the board game world with more accessible games. Social deduction is one of the entry points.

If there’s one moral lesson I can cherry-pick from most horror sci-fi movies as a fellow scientist, it’s definitely this one: tampering in genetic level is a perilous endeavour.

Nilo will narrate this story.
