Holiday Sale Day 9: Daedalic Games
Dear Diary:
I have hunkered down in my bunker and propped the furniture against the door as proof against zombie hordes. The world is still possibly ending tomorrow. Things look grim. I have eaten the last of the twinkies I stockpiled for the apocalypse--the local shop was out of stock and they only had three--and I am unsure what to do. I have hooked up my stationery bike to my computer, but am frustrated because a paper bicycle doesn't seem to do anything to charge it. If only my grasp of homonyms was better, I could have avoided this!
Regardless, I have batteries, and time. What should I do? If this world is ending, my best bet seems to escape it and lose myself in another world. If only I knew of a place where I could find lush, living worlds filled with promise, puzzles, and fun to distract me from the end.
If only I knew of a site that had games like The Whispered World, , [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/edna_harvey_the_breakout_harveys_new_eyes]Edna and Harvey: The Breakout and Edna and Harvey's New Eyes, Dark Eye: The Chains of Satinav, and A New Beginning, all for sale for as little as $4.99 each--less than the price of a box of twinkies. If only I had the capacity to full my mind with adventure games instead of my hollow belly with plastic wrappers, this tragedy would be endurable!
But, alas, I know of no such place. I have barricaded myself away from the Internet and from phone lines. I do not want to know how the world ends. Instead I will sit here, in the dark.
Waiting.
