What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Last night, I just kept going in Everdark Tower for maybe 20 or 30 minutes, hitting a string of bosses. I decided to level grind a little, but even that was fast in this game. I'm really dragging this out by playing such short sessions, but I also appreciate that it's no hassle to do so.

Early voting at the local mall ended up being a massive afternoon time sink, so I had another day without much gaming. I played Everdark Tower a little before bed, though, chipping away at it a bit. I know it's short on purpose, so I think clearing chapter 3 last night was probably a good bit of progress. It might be a bad games week overall, but I'll try to finish this off this week.

Yesterday was a sleepy day overall, not just a sleepy morning, so I didn't manage to play much. Before bed, though, I did play four or five rounds of the Time Traveler retro table in Zaccaria Pinball. I didn't do well at all, but it was relaxing.

I'm having a really sleepy morning, but it's Saturday, so that's okay.

Last night, I played a short adventure game from my itch.io bundle stash, called I Want To Be A Triangle. It was a cute, fourth wall breaking little quest, and though it was too late at night for the puzzle answers to come to me quickly, it was very doable and not at all frustrating. It was charming, and I'm glad I took a little bit to play it.

I also did some more dungeon crawling in Metro Quester, and am actually in the last area now, I think. At the very least, there's no more space on the map after this. I beat a massive, slightly tedious boss last night, and then plodded through a new area where food spoilage is a common enemy tactic, which is going to be frustrating for this last stretch of the game. I don't think there's a way to counter it, so I just have to take everything out as fast as possible! I'm pretty confident I've got this, though. It'll just take a few more sessions.

This is gonna be a short post this morning because I got distracted by crafts! I got a competent Windows device and tested it with Pseudoregalia, which I hadn't been able to play on my poor old computer. It was so fun, but I don't think I'm going to tackle the whole game right now.

I took out three more bosses and did some very productive exploring in Metro Quester, and got a great new giant bear and small girl party member. I'm considering taking a detour to level them up so they can join my end-game party, as I'm not as close to the end as I'd thought.

Before bed, I played a session of So I'm A Spider, So What?: Ruler of the Labyrinth, too. It was relaxing, but not so scintillating to write about!
