As an Australian I stared at this for at least 5 minutes trying to work out what was wrong (nothing).

Kind of small extremely low budget escape room type puzzle games with horror vibes. Kind of like someone finally made serious flash games.

A bit too early for me to recommend wholeheartedly, but Jen and I enjoyed what we’ve played so far (well I played and she watched/helped).

Sentimental Value missing out at number 5 but I think I’m still doing ok here

It’s a small investment relative to their R&D but shockingly high compared to every other line item. They’ve been slashing their occupational health and safety budgets for a while now just to pay for the signage and sunglasses. You can just tell that Wesker is expensing every pair.

*spoilers*

Make it all yours.
