I didn’t expect a lot for Day 79, and that’s exactly what I got. Monty would be trapped in the room until almost midnight, so there wasn’t much time for anything other than setting my little buddy free… Monty cut a pretty sympathetic figured when I returned to him; huddled in the fetal position, head…

After a frustrating and fruitless two day search for the hidden door, I was running out of ideas on how to move forwards. I was all about to start retreading old ground (again) when a chance observation led me to exactly the clue I needed… now, could I unravel the mystery and get inside? I…

After falling asleep at the wheel and not achieving much yesterday, save crossing a few places off my hit list for the hidden door, Day 77 was much of the same. Monty and I began to scour the kingdom from top to toe in search of that pesky secret portal… When I snatched up my…

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 the hidden door…😅 I rejoined Monty with him having long finished Nibelungenlied, and he didn’t…

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 it wouldn’t take us very long at all… I came [home] and found Monty sitting…

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 ‘Drew-time’, I found my little buddy asleep and the world above asleep with him. The…

After a terribly frustrating day yesterday, I really struggled for enthusiasm on Day 35, almost deciding not to play at all. But just like in the movies, when our hero is feeling down and out -with nowhere to turn- a stroke of pure luck changed everything… I reluctantly picked up my Switch to check in…

So, after a three day hiatus from the mountain and my shadey friend, it was finally time to get back to it and see if my plan of leaving Monty in loneliness was successful. Sadly, what I found was more frustrating than the wait itself… Today is the day! I snatched up my Switch and…

Yesterday was the first day I was actually a little thankful of having to leave Monty to his own devices – I had an incredibly busy day at the day job and then things took off at the VGamingNews offices in the evening too! (Keep your eyes here for a tonne of new reviews in…
