I know I've been coming up with excuse after excuse recently with respect to not posting a full review; (all for the love of our dwarf rabbit), but todays is slightly different. I had my Covid Booster jab yesterday afternoon and a flu Jab. Now I can hardly lift my left arm (flu jab side); I've never had a flu jab ever until yesterday. Worse still, I feel like death warmed up, I have a splitting head ache and am running a raised temperature so just want to curl up and fall asleep to a decent movie; which I'm about to do as soon as the security scan is completed. :)

I just cannot be bothered to follow through with a review at the moment, so I do apologise. If things improve later I'll try to add more, but it's unlikely today.

Escape from the Office:

In Brief:
Escape from the Office is a pixel graphic precision platformer with survival elements. If you die, it's Perma-Death. The game is a mouse only game, with positive reviews from the Steam community, which you can read HERE. Bearing in mind the overall positive response from the Steam community and a very brief look-see by myself, I would definitely recommend checking this one out. It looks basic graphic wise, but the mouse only control is decent and I like the art style. There are 20 levels, all but the first one are locked when you first start the game. Once unlocked, you can replay any level. On the level map, unlocked levels are light green in colour, locked levels are mustard yellow.

You can see a video of game play HERE.

Features
- Unusual controls
- Pixel graphics
- Funny music. (I found the music awful; and, it didn't help my splitting head ache).

Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 59 antimalware engines.

The downloaded executable 'may' include some low level adware that only opens your browser once to Falcoware's home page after the game has installed and also places four shortcuts onto your desktop (which can be safely deleted once the game has installed).

The installation does NOT inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to Falcoware's home page following the games installation, it earns Falcoware games some money, part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away free. Once you've installed the game, there are no more browser redirections. This is because Falcoware removed their installer over a year ago (that installer would show an advert for a game and then open your browser each time you played and then closed the game down.)

You can see the results of the scan via the following link:

Whiterabbit-uk,

Other Free Games:
Please check Delenn's threads over in the giveaway forums HERE and HERE for the latest non Steam and Steam freebies. Also for the latest Steam sales check THIS Steam database site out. You can list the games in 'price' & 'percentage off' by clicking the headers. If you link SteamDB with your Steam account all games that you already have will be highlighted in green. When there are Steam games being given away, you'll see 100% off.

Steam have started their Autumn/fall sale which ends on 1st December at 10am Pacific.

Don't forget to check Indie Gala's freebie section HERE, then click on the Showcase header, selecting freebies from the drop down menu; recent additions include Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon, Distortions, Dino Run DX, Cheap Golf, Kill Em All, Dead Hungry Diner and Contract with the Devil. All remaining freebies can be found in the showcase section (around 100 are available). Not all games that go into the showcase remain free, so you should grab them as soon as you can.

The latest Epic freebie's include Antstream - Epic Welcome Pack - Grab 1090 Gems for free to use in-game! This in-game currency can be spent on playing games, challenges and limited-time tournaments! Gems can also be used to unlock harder challenges and play turn-based PvP against friends and other players!. You'll also need to install the Antstream client before you can spend the gems. Better still we will also be getting the base game for The Hunter: Call of the Wild; (which is presently my number one favourite game that I've been playing virtually every day both solo and with friends since June 2021). The base game includes two of the available 10 reserves i.e. Hirschfelden (Germany) and Leyton Lakes (United States); which you can find details of HERE. There are several DLC's that should be available free as well (e.g. Backpacks, new species, Compound Bow, Shooting Range and others). I've posted an edited copy of my Steam review over in the forums HERE, together with lots of screen captures that show the beauty of this game. Each of the reserves covers around 25 to 30 square miles of reserve that you can explore fully, with day and night cycles as well as weather effects and environmental and animal sounds; the immersion within this game is amazing.

From tomorrow, the 2nd December we will be getting two more games, i.e. Dead by Daylight, a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed plus While True: Learn (Data Scientist Edition), is a puzzle/simulation game about even more puzzling stuff: machine learning, neural networks, big data and AI. But most importantly, it’s about understanding your cat.

The best Indie Bundles sites that have been operating from around 2011 are the Humble Bundle and Indie Gala sites where you'll sometimes find decent bundles with over 90% off the usual price of the games included in the bundles. The Humble site is in my opinion the best. A more recent addition that is worth checking out are the Fanatical bundles that you can find HERE (thanks Delenn for reminding me of this bundle, I've just recovered my account and found thousands of Steam keys listed from various bundles I purchased from 2012 to 2017).

Also well worth checking is CDKeys, where you can pick up games with as much as 98% off. I got last years STAR WARS™ Squadrons for 98% off back in October, costing me a crazy £0.38p. You'll find CDKeys HERE. You can get the Ultimate Edition of the acclaimed game Control (GOG version) for £0.59, Dragon Age: Inquisition (Epic version) for £0.49 (both 98% off), both from CD Keys.

The Autumn/Fall Steam sale ends today late afternoon. I've seen some excellent bargains. My pick of the lot is Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds Story, based on H.G Wells fantastic story. I have so many memories of my English Literature teacher (and form master) reading a chapter of War of the Worlds every Friday afternoon (as well as other authors such as Heinlein (Glory Road, Stranger in a Strange Land, Space Cadet {the first hard back book I ever purchased with my paper round money}, Moon is a Harsh Mistress), A.E Van Vogt (Empire of the Atom, Book of Ptath), Asimov (Foundation Trilogy and lots more etc); where our class was the last one of the week. He instilled a life time love of Science Fiction and Science Fantasy in me. The game is 90% off (yes, you read correctly) at only £1.13 until 10am Pacific time today. I nearly missed this bargain.

Problems running or downloading todays game giveaway?:.

Whiterabbit-uk,
Get better soon - my six months for the booster shot aren't over until January.

Reply | Comment by Anthea – 3 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (-1)

Hey Wrascally Wabbit,

Thanks for the heads up on the the H.G. Wells game. I grabbed it plus the OST. Love Wells and the others you mentioned. In school I was discouraged from reading any of those types of books because I was a girl. But luckily I had a librarian that lead me to those books and helped me choose what to read. Sometimes she would have them already picked out for me when I came in.

I can't believe your doc gave you both at the same time. I have had friends that say the booster shot knocks them really bad and then to get the flu jab too. I got my flu shot last month and I have not heard from my doc about an appt yet for the booster. No matter what I am getting it. It's our duty as a part of the human race to knock this thing out.

Huggles to you and the family and the real rabbits...

delenn13,

Thanks Delenn :) I've been in bed virtually all day, which I sorely needed, but woke up about 20 minutes ago, still feeling like **** I was shocked to hear that you were discouraged to read Sci Fi.

Thanks to my English Lit. teacher it gave me a life long interest in the genre. I used to call into my local book store regularly on the way home from school to peruse the latest releases and spent most of my weekly allowance and paper round money on books (average cost of a paperback title was around £0.35 back then). The owner of the shop would occasionally sell me hard cover versions cheap (I got the Lord of the Rings limited edition books on acid free paper and pull out maps of Middle Earth for £2.50 each). The shop owner even gave me some books (usually ones he'd had on the shelves for a long time). I loved the sci fi themed front cover illustrations. When New English Library put out a monthly magazine called Sci Fi Monthly (which was in a large format), it contained several double sided posters and lots of short stories from the authors of the day. When I went to university I had a large student room which was basically wall papered from the ceiling to the floors with the posters I'd collected from over two years worth of the magazine which I passed on my way home from school.
