Alison & Co

Hello, My name is Alison, I am the site manager of IGC and good friends of Craig (Finite), I actually live on the same street as him, that's how close we are. This account is being used to post news by myself, and a few members of our team. Personally, I am an avid fan of JRPG's and RPG's in general, I also love old school retro platformers like Mario, and finally, for some reason, I enjoy souls-like games. I run my own business along with 2 other sites, one for holidays and the other for music. This year I hope to grow my business more and maybe find my one true love.
