Why make a Point & Click adventure about an obscure Bible passage?

Yesterday was spent trying to come up with an idea for where the player could get hold of a pile of rags. The constant temptation when writing puzzles like this is […]

I have twenty days left of my self-imposed “end of February” deadline for writing all of the puzzles for my Christian Point & Click adventure game. As a bit of an experiment, and to help me take that deadline seriously, I thought I’d aim to write a short blog post each day to report […]
