360: More Whimsy, Dammit!
This week Ben and Trevor return to using What3Words.com for the random words that power their improvised game designs. Three great games this week:
a contemporary thriller set in a quarantined nightclub, with Obra Dinn inspired detective elements;
travel across New Zealand in your truck, doing plastering jobs to make enough money to get to the place that reminds you of your love;
automate Santa's workshop across the ages as he deals with the growing population and ever-increasing demands of the world's children.
