Oh gosh, it's Thursday. I am so behind on everything this week -you
may have noticed I've barely even had time for Usenet- that I'm
half-tempted to let somebody else do the usual announcement. But no,
what would the neighbors think if I skimped out on this vital duty? So
let's quickly cover this week's Epic freebie.

Epic, whatcha got for us today?

* The Spirit and the Mouse
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/the-spirit-and-the-mouse-42390b
    At heart, this one is a third-person puzzle/narrative game; 
    not quite as simple as a walking-sim, not quite as difficult 
    as something like "Portal", but somewhere in the middle. 
    Still, it's a game more about atmosphere and story than it 
    is about challenge. It's also what some have termed a 'cozy' 
    game, with no real scare or threat; you're an adorable 
    little mouse whose life-goal is just to help people and make 
    a difference. It's very reminiscent of "Stray", in that 
    its biggest the cute fuzzy protagonist doing a lot of non- 
    threatening things. A deep game? A classic? No, but a fun 
    way to spend a brief few hours between more 'serious' titles. 
    I probably wouldn't ever pay for this, but as a freebie? 
    I approve.


Just the one game this week, but that's fine. So long as The Number
grows and the game isn't terrible, I'm happy. Seven days is the number
of days you've got to claim; no more and no less. Six days only if the
first day has passed; eight days is right out. So I guess I'll see you
all in a week.
