I’ve never played a Spiders game before. People always say they’re “rough around the edges” or use the term “Euro-jank” to describe them. These games tend to fulfill that B-level game that seems to be so elusive these days (outside of Japan that is, thanks CJ!). Ideally, though, every project by a team gets better, right? Learning from what has and hasn’t worked and improving skill sets across the board are natural occurrences over time.

This is the first game that actually made me feel like a detective. I’ve played tons of games that have tasked me with solving some mystery, only to have it boil down to either not being able to fail, or just plain easy and boring.

Please, send help. I can’t stop playing Stardew Valley. In fact, it’s running in the background right now. Which reminds me, I need to catch an Albacore real quick for Elliot…
