Somerville

[Andeeroo]

Did a search but can’t see this mentioned anywhere…

A video game called Somerville came out earlier this year and is currently on Xbox Gamepass. Thought I’d boot it up and give it a go as it’s developed by people who have been in on some games I’ve liked in the past (Inside and Limbo for those in the know.) It’s a 2D-3D side-scrolling puzzle game.

About 45 minutes in and I stumble across an area filled with tents and all of a sudden…

It’s pretty damn awesome. I won’t ruin it as there are some cool moments as you work your way through this section which lasts for about 30-45 minutes. The game has been pretty average aside from this but thought it was worth bringing up.

Anyone else seen this? Would they have had to get permission from GFL for this sort of thing?

Yes, don’t play this game, it becomes an obsession, you just never can say goodbye to it once started

Not sure what you mean by this. Can you tell me Why?

That must have left you feeling disenchanted. Perhaps I’ll tell you tomorrow.

Very unrelated but you should play Cult of the Lamb, OP. Best game this year aside from Elden Ring and Ragnarok.

He's playing very well for Leeds at the moment.

Am I the only one disappointed that there wasn't potential for him to show up somewhere?

He'd be a good "legends slot" act, IMO

Nope love Jimmy Sommerville. As he likes a bit of a busking session maybe Sommerville at Strummerville.

I stayed at Sticklinch this year so it seemed a bit more practical to wander up there than recent years in the CV fields.  It's certainly a lovely place to settle down for a bit.

Yep must admit I don't go there much now. Would make the trip for Jimmy though.

Wow, the vibe is really like Limbo. Looks interesting!

Is that the queue for the food stalls?
