Celebrating Janus, the two-faced god of January, Telltales invites your submissions on all aspects of ‘Duality’.
Send us your thoughts on the ups and downs, ins and outs, divisions and reconciliations of everyday life. It can be as black and white, as light or as dark as you choose but whatever it is, it should contain at least a sprinkling of the other.
