I awakened at 6 AM and wrote a whole information article yesterday earlier than realising it was a financial institution vacation, solely noticing once I entered the treehouse to search out nothing however a solitary squirrel gnawing on a discarded Snickers. In the present day, that squirrel is useless, and it’s time to work once more. Here is a hissing tide of PC video games slithering their approach out of non-existence this week.

- Sol Cesto is releasing in Steam early entry. It is a caffeinated roguelike with a fetching, sketchy artwork type stuffed with quivering gribblies and odd UI prospers, by which you play as a hero trying to find the solar, underground. That is not the place the solar lives, mate.
- Additionally coming to Steam early entry is Small Spaces, an inside design toolkit for making small flats. I can develop a bit listless with rule-free artistic playables, however the idea right here comprises its personal implicit recreation, difficult you to create one thing each stunning and useful in restricted sq. footage.

And that is again when UK trains have been low-cost. Nation’s gone to the squirrels, I let you know.

Edwin ended last week‘s Maw by discussing what the opposite denizens of the Treehouse have been as much as, however discovering this out means I have to ask all of them, and I merely do not need the time, what with all of the squirrel funeral preparations I’ve to make.
