While I managed to get back on the horse and stay on it, I didn't manage to check in on Monty until late and it wasn't especially productive... in fact, I may have fallen asleep while we were searching for... read more
Returning beneath the mountain with an agenda was refreshing - Monty and I had something to focus on and work towards rather than just ambling around without a clue. Little did we know that we'd make a huge discovery and... read more

Following my little 'oopsie-daisy' with the time yesterday, I certainly hoped that Day 39 would give me the chance to wait beneath the well in the daytime, in case the old man came to draw water. Little did I know... read more
Okay... it's embarrassing admission time. Day 38 was a busy one in real life and I completely forgot that I needed to check in on Monty during his daytime hours... When I turned on my Switch at almost midnight in... read more
Day 37 was to be an exciting day. To come within arms reach of the surface yesterday was exhilarating and I was itching to make it all the way outside this time, not to mention finally realising the long term... read more

Looking at Lydia in my backlog, I wasnāt entirely sure what drew me to buying it. It could have been the haunting monochrome screenshots, or the rather sinister key art. It could have been bought in a splurge when I... read more

Iāve been a fan of Metroidvania games for as long as I can remember. I love finding all of the nooks and crannies that I canāt quite overcome yet, and trying to remember where they all are once you gain... read more
I donāt care how immersive or beautiful your AAA adventure games are, you will never top the feeling of lumping down on the couch with one of your best buds and playing something silly in multiplayer. Some of my favourite... read more
