(PC) Tactical Breach Wizards (PC) Malware (PC) Cheap and cheerful little experience. It's one of those retro computer interface affairs, where your is to install programs through a windows 95 style installer interface, without installing any of the ad/malware crap that used to get bundled into free software back then. A lot of it is going through the installer interface unchecking boxes for rogue software, finding things that look out of place that might be hiding additional boxes or hyperlinks etc. It's fun and silly, though a couple of puzzles were a little unintuitive. The main interface is an outlook style email client, which serves up your challenges as email requests with the installer attached, and some weird attempt at a storyline about time travel, it doesn't really make a lot of sense, not helped by what appears to be fairly basic translation - a lot of the material on the Steam community pages are in Chinese and Japanese. Not brilliant, but a fun idea that only cost me a couple of quid and was done in two hours.

I finished it tonight, it just gets better and better. The last act and a half constantly throwing new things at you, and the perks you get to chose from as you level up your characters let you put together some really fun combinations.

I played the demo during one of the Steam next fest events, it didn't really grab me. I did like the way it looked though. I've heard very little about it since it came out.

On mobile 26th September.

I played a character with high Deception and Persuasion. There's three boss-like encounters in that region that I won just through dialogue. I persuaded the mad surgeon in the House of Healing he should test his procedure on himself, and he sliced himself to death.

Balatro merch: https://www.playbalatro.com/merch Free update with cosmetic skins for cards, themed on other games: There's also some kind of free gameplay update coming in 2025 (I don't think there are any details)

August's games. This is likely it for the month. Any more will have to wait until after payday, and maybe until I finish a few I've been playing.

I'm on the third act now, I just got a 4th person join the squad, a big tanky character. I haven't worked out the best way to use them yet, but their abilities look pretty fun. The rewind function is great. I've been making a lot of use of that to get an idea of how my abilities work in different situations without having to worry about messing up a fight. It's also really useful when you suddenly spot a great interaction that you could have pulled off if you used your characters actions in a different order. The writing is a lot of fun. I love the talk between missions and the characters, like the pyromancer who can't summon fire hot enough to burn people, or the traffic warlock, or the doctor who can only heal people who died so took to shooting her patients in the head.

I played it too, there's not a lot you can say about it without eventually stepping on the jokes. I loved the art, the voice work, and the all-round silliness. It's really good fun, if the price vs. length works for you.

Current earworm. I caught myself quietly singing "I'm a big man" to myself while browsing in the supermarket yesterday.
