Notable quotes

“Spooky, dominating the market, out of the gate, nearly sold out of this new game”
Don
“If this game doesn't win call-outs of the year on any list, then that list is a crooked list because this is Ash Williams. He's got some good call-outs, man.”
Don
“This is made with love. This is made with passion. I would say insanity. I would say anybody else, they would have put them in an insane asylum and committed them.”
Genghis
“I cannot be a shield. I need to be honest and say how I feel. The music killed it for me.”
Genghis
“The music, they need to make an alternative sound package just going for people like me that isn't in the Evil Dead universe, just get normal, you know, pinball music, uplifting pinball music.”
Genghis
“When you start the multi-ball, they flash so bright. So that cabin, that brown cabin, it just gets bright white. It looks so good.”
Don
“These guys doesn't have, you know, multi-billionaire investors in the back. They need to deliver every time. They need to put their heart and soul into this game.”
Don
“I talked with my brother yesterday, and he was like, I want this game on location. So that's the thing.”
Genghis
