Escape the Room: Mystery at the Stargazer's Manor What are “Escape the Room” games? Escape the Room games began as digital adventures and quickly turned into real-life events all around the world where players are locked in a room and must uncover clues and hidden objects to escape. ThinkFun’s version of Escape the Room allows you to bring all the excitement of these experiences into your very own home! The Mystery: It’s 1869 and the town’s well-respected astronomer has not been seen since the untimely passing of his wife. Recently, strange things have been happening at his manor – loud and unfamiliar noises, an unpleasant smell, and smoke billowing from the observatory. It’s up to you and your guests to solve the mystery at the Stargazer’s Manor! The Objective: Spend an evening working with your guests to solve puzzles, unlock hidden clues, and unravel the mystery of the Stargazer’s Manor. Will you and your guests be able to solve the mystery and save the astronomer before time runs out?

My steam deck keeps turning on I think itโ€™s from turning my xbox controller on but Iโ€™m not using the controller with it. Does the steam deck turn on for reasons other than pressing the power button or charging for anyone else?

If there's one way to get fucking excited about a new edition of Apocalypse World, it's this article. It dispels any assumptions about Burned Over just being a more accessible translation of the 2016 edition. It's definitely its own game.

Return to Monkey Island
Completed on Windows PC
I really enjoyed the game and the puzzles are pretty dumb friendly I only struggled with a couple at the end. I love the audio and visual style, smooth animations, super playable on controller. A great model for updating old point and click adventures.

Stewpot is based on Firebrands / The King is Dead. In most games you play adventurers this one you play people who were adventures. Here they are all adventured out and ready to settle down into community.
