Ferdinand Joseph Fernandez's Blog

Ferdinand Joseph Fernandez is a game about cat-herding, long term consequences, and explosions. Kaboom! SUBVERT THE SYSTEM by automating tasks so you can focus on the real problems. ENGAGE IN INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT as you ponder why the post above you has a grammatical error. STARE BACK at the abyss of sadness with your indomitable will in clicking TRY AGAIN. SEE it all collapse before your very eyes. BY THE TIME IT IS ALL OVER your character will not be the only one with a drinking problem!

(I encourage you to also try describing yourself as if you were a videogame.)

Ferdinand's dream is to tell his stories by using videogames as the medium.
