We're making ROOM for Duskmourn this week as we get ready for the format to drop on Tuesday and reflect on our experiences in Early Access and Pre-Release Weekend. The Teeter-Totter is flipped with us walking back a lot of takes from last week, getting lower on Manifest Destiny...errr...Dread and much higher on Rooms and Eerie.
