Project Update: ~-- Broadcast Hijacked --~ You are now listening to Jubilation Radio!

Testing, testing. Is this thing on? Are we—oh we’re live?! Ahem. We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this special broadcast, live from Jubilation.

Hi there listeners! I’m Dorian Blackwood, the cross-collaboration partner of Free for All Media and the mind behind Midnight in Jubilation. With only a little over two days left of Pocketopia 2026, we thought it would be a great opportunity to stop by each other’s campaign pages and tell you a little bit more about our projects. We’ve already seen how much they’ve resonated with you, and for that we are so grateful. It’s fantastic to know that there are so many folks who share our love for narrative-rich, solo-ready games! It was also an exciting opportunity for me to provide descriptions for two Jubilation and night-time inspired Spirit Cards for My Very Own Forest Spirit, as part of our cross-collaboration.

But what is Midnight in Jubilation? Its not only a solo journalling game, it’s the culmination of my terrifying encounter with the film Pontypool many years ago, as well as my love of horror stories and weird fiction. At its core, it’s about flawed people facing a dark and uncertain world. One where you’re only ever a call away from discovering you’re not the one in control, and perhaps never were. In it, you play as the newest overnight radio presenter of Jubilation, a town that can’t seem to decide when or where it should be.

A town map from an overhead perspective, at enough distance that no houses are visible. Only main streets and outlines of occupied land. Sixteen locations are highlighted with numbers in dark squares. To the side is text that reads: "Welcome to Jubilation, everywhere/nowhere, population 2,500." Below which are three check boxes with the text: "12+ Locations, 18+ Unique NPCs, Horrific Threats and Bizarre Encounters". In the bottom right corner is an image of a snarling person's face looming over a microphone as a wolf's head splits from the top of their skull. A rough speech bubble from their humanoid mouth reads: "Plus scraps alluding to the fate of your predecessor."

Midnight in Jubilation is presented in A5 format, with digital, softcover, and hardcover pledge options. All digital documents are compatible with screen readers, and have already been checked by both a sensitivity reader and an accessibility consultant. Very excitingly, we have recently unlocked even more content for the game, where backers will get to name someone on Mwaki’s Missing Persons List in the Appendix. But I am giving thought as to how even more flavour can be added to enhance its use in play.

So why not stop by and see what Jubilation has in store for you? For today’s song recommendation I’d like to leave you with Night Mail by Public Service Broadcasting.

And remember, you’ve been listening to Jubilation Radio. We are here and so are you.
