Update One Hundred and Eighty-Six: 16 June 2018

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Okay okay I’m not purposefully picking all short games so I can annoy the fuckin blue out of everybody’s jeans, it’s just kind of been happening.

Escape the Past is much closer to traditional ‘escape the room’ games rather than hidden object games as popularized by Artifex Mundi. There’s a loose storyline, per se, which is found through optional pieces of letters and never really explained. The main thrust is you have four scenarios that are looosely connected, and you have to progress through these scenarios - get in the house, go down the basement, explore the cave to get to the boat, etc.

As puzzles, they’re just fine. Most of the achievements are timing base and you guys know how much I love those!!!!! so this play session was more stressful than I wish it was. They weren’t very difficult to get - but my god do I hate being timed!

Another easy 100% (I’ve been saying that so much lately) that, as a bonus, probably won’t disappear from your account! That happened to me today in the Great Steam Fuckening of ‘18 - I’m glad they’re enacting their plan to cut shit games viability from the store though, of course, they could just curate the mf’n storefront but it’s knocked one (1) perfect game off of my profile stats and I’ve been quitely stewing all day as to figure out which one that could possibly be. Consulting BLAEO’s stats aren’t helping, either. Have you guys been affected by the hiding of games you have? Let’s talk about it!

Next up: I’m a little Uncertain that my computer can run this, but by god, let’s try anyway!

See you soon!
