    Yay! More free games! From GOG this time...and at Christmas time too.
    I really like that idea. Maybe I should look into it, do something
    similar. What do you think, would that idea fly here? ;-)

    Admittedly, the game on offer isn't the most exciting
    I've seen; it's yet another in a long line of Indie
    retro-graphic roguelike platformers whose biggest feature
    is that it's intentionally made to be brutally difficult.
    If you like banging your heads on rocks, enjoying the
    sensation of finally breaking through the impossible
    challenge, then this is a game for you. Myself, I've
    always been more about the setting and narrative than
    the challenge, so I'm less excited. But that doesn't
    mean the game isn't good; just that it's not a game
    for me.


    You may feel differently. If so, you have 72 hours to claim this one.

    Got it, thanks!

    It says you will encounter AI characters! Oh noes! Doesn't every character/monster who has any kind of decision tree qualify for being
    called AI? That's not the same as something like ChatGPT.
