Let's see what's trending on Epic. Oh look, a free game. I bet that
none of you saw that coming. Good thing I'm so on-the-ball these days
;-)


* Escape Academy
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/escape-academy-bfc2bf
     This one is a third-person adventure/logic-puzzle game. 
     Wander about looking for various puzzles to solve. Solve 
     said puzzles. Find next one until you have explored every 
     room and escaped. But hurry, 'cause there's a timer. Play 
     solo or online. Conceptually, it may be good, but I'm not 
     feeling the vibe on this one. It seems the sort of game 
     mostly aimed at multiplayer, where you and a bunch of 
     friends can shout at each other as the timer ticks down.  
     You know, the sort of game that you play once or twice 
     for the ha-ha-ha-isn't-this-dumb fun and then put away 
     forever. Plus, I burnt out on solving logic puzzles with 
     7th Guest. All-in-all, it just ain't my bag.


In honor of logic puzzles, to claim this game, you must solve this
Tower of Hanoi puzzle:

		     |          |       |
		    _+_         |       |
		   _____        |       |
		  _______       |       |
		 _________      |       |
		============================

Or, you know, just click that 'add-to cart' button within the next
seven days. Whichever.
