custard doughnuts

Christmas has been and gone, leaving me once again with a library of free games that I don't have time to enjoy. In order to reduce this wastage I've deliberately invested some effort in trying out some of this year's crop.

Christmas is a time of giving. Particularly, it seems, if you're an online game store. Consequently, my collection of free games has swelled enormously.

Rather than leave them unplayed to gather dust as I usually do, I've decided to set aside some dedicated time to give them a try. Strap in for some hasty judgements and half formed opinions.

I struggle to think of things I want when relatives ask me for gift ideas at this time of year. However, if we ignore what's possible for a second, there are some things I'd like.

It's become a personal tradition that I try to post something fun around this time each year, perhaps in the form of a small game that I've written. This year's entry isn't particularly seasonal, but it's still worth posting. It's Something Under the Bed, a game I've written while working at Builtvisible.

If you're interested in how it works, read on. Otherwise just see how far through the night you can get. It's deliberately difficult.

It's been pretty quiet here at Custard Towers for a while now, for entirely reasonable reasons. Nonetheless, I'd like to apologise to both my readers and hope that this small offering of a seasonal game makes up for it.

It's Christmas again, and time for something fun. Hopefully.
