The editorial offices of Rock Paper Shotgun are unusually quiet this week, with staff seemingly abandoning their posts for an unspecified holiday. In their absence, a peculiar situation has arisen: a mysterious entity, referred to as the 'Maw,' has taken over the 'This Week in PC Games' column. This 'Maw' appears to be a manifestation within a large, silver mirror in the publication's Treehouse, described as an indistinct clot of feathery dull crimson.
The entity has apparently taken up residence in the empty sanctum where editors typically curate the week's gaming news. Visitors to the Treehouse are now tasked with 'feeding the Maw' by presenting new video game releases. The article suggests the staff are currently carousing 'in the lands beyond the Tree,' leaving a void in their usual duties. The 'Bank Holiday Mawnday Edition' of the column implies this is a recurring, albeit unusual, event, with the team expected to return once the holiday concludes.
