Rain means an excuse to revisit the joyful hope of a sweaty handful of 2p coins on a sunny day at the seaside. The Raccoin demo perfectly balances high pressure hose dopamine hits with ‘just one coin could make all the difference’ optimism. You’ve got me @raccoingame.bsky.social Well played.

Reimaged my Steam Deck. Planned to play as many demos as possible. And somehow. Oh no… This is going to be a disaster.

Not that you need an excuse to get into the Halloween spirit early (I may have been there all year) but just an FYI that Fear the Spotlight from @cozygamepals.bsky.social is 50% off as part of the Autumn Adventures sale on PlayStation. $9.99 to join Amy and Vivian & their totally safe spirit board…

Quick Brighton pit stop for the cutest ever ink from Mike Stout at Studio Hatch. Can hard recommend getting a matching tiny dinosaur with your best pal.

Played the demo during Steam Next Fest and Is This Seat Taken? is everything I wanted the full game to be. Wonderful logic puzzling with the vibe of the Wilmot games. Every little shape is super needy and demanding but it’s so satisfying to find them the right spot to sit.

If you’ve not played Fear the Spotlight yet, Amy and Vivian’s adventures are 40% off on both Switch and Steam. To quote an inimitable 90s horror icon… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, HUH?

Two Point Museum has been a tiny glimmer of happiness for me amidst the unending bleak. Unsurprisingly absolutely obsessed with the supernatural exhibits but the whole thing is just perfect. Well played @twopointstudios.bsky.social

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood had an entire sequence where you got to hurtle around in it in a level called “Hell on Wheels”. I hadn’t realised how ‘accurate’ it was!

Happy Hogmanay, all. I’ve got a stack of horror to catch up on in the sky. Plus a couple of episodes of @gracedent.bsky.social Comfort Eating podcast to keep me company. Time to make 2024 8 hours longer than it should be.

Amazing to see Fear the Spotlight from @cozygamepals.bsky.social and Crow Country from @sfbdim.bsky.social and @sfbtom.bsky.social in the Guardian reader’s games of the year newsletter. Good thing you can buy both in a bundle and save 31% as part of the Steam Winter Sale… 🎄❄️ @blumhouse.com

Wish I had an excuse to rock this jumper more tbh. Merry Christmas, all. Hope everyone is having a lovely day, however you’re choosing to spend it. ❤️🎄
