Bael's Rock: A Text Adventure
4. The Duel of Wits
5. The Windows Sky-High
So far I've persisted until finishing a chapter each day, but I got stuck on Chapter 5 and didn't want to lean on the walkthrough too much (I've already had to resort to it a couple of times when I thought I knew what to do (and I was right) but couldn't work out what text to enter to make it happen).
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition
Monument Valley
Got this puzzle game free on Epic a little while ago; started playing it now because the Steam version is in a bundle with its DLC and I thought that might be better, but I needed to know if I liked it enough to pay for it. It's quite clever, but also clearly not made to be played with a controller — I believe it was originally a touchscreen phone game, and it feels like it. I could use the Deck's touchscreen, but I don't want to get finger smears all over it that'll annoy me when I play regular games. Might try installing it on my Mac and playing with mouse. Anyway, I doubt I'll be buying it — the free version, while less than ideal (getting it to run took more fiddling than it should have), will suffice for what it is.
