I still fondly remember the first time I played Lamplighters League. Sat in a warehouse near downtown San Francisco at GDC, the first level of this XCOM-style turn-based strategy game ensnared me. As the developers at Harebrained Schemes watched from behind (I didn't realize this until afterward), I snuck around a 1940s pulp-inspired dockyard, before going loud and engaging in combat.
