This chill puzzle game is so good I bought its prequel before I even finished it
There's a great feeling you get when you read a book you like or watch a film you enjoy, and it turns out the writer or director has done some other stuff that also looks promising. «Yes! I liked this stuff! And now there's the potential to like more stuff!»
That's the long way around saying I played Wilmot Works It Out this weekend and I like it so much that even though I haven't even finished it, I already bought the previous Wilmot game, Wilmot's Warehouse. I'm going all-in on Wilmot after just a couple hours with Wilmot.
