Unwinnable Weekly Issue 17

Matt Marrone kicks things off this week with a look at Stanley Kubrick’s use of the menacing paintings of Alex Colville in The Shining. He is only a little bit obsessed. Stu Horvath gets burned by The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and explains why surprise endings in horror are almost always a bad idea (if you want to play Ethan Carter, do it before you read this essay, naturally). Mary Alexandra Agner lightens things up with some of her narrative rules for playing Minecraft and, finally, Gus Mastrapa delivers up the latest installment of Dungeon Crawler.

No matter what your taste, Unwinnable Weekly has you covered, so make sure to check out our selection of back issues today!
