I have a degree in ancient history and archaeology. So naturally, when faced with a mummy in an ancient Egyptian tomb, my first instinct was violence. I’m sure this is exactly what my lecturers had in mind. 😂 #archaeology #gaming #forewarned #horrorgaming

POV: You’re trying to work and your fluffy research assistants decide it’s time for a highly scientific investigation… 🔬🐶 Max seems to know what he’s looking for. Molly absolutely does not. Neither of them is letting that stop them. 😂 #Dogs #FunnyDogs #ShihTzu #DogTok #PetTok

I already hate dolls. So naturally, when I found Billy the life-sized ventriloquist dummy, I decided to walk right up and check if he was haunted. This was a terrible decision. 😭😂 #HorrorGaming #JumpScare #GEI #ScaryGames #Gaming

Stream tonight, 8:30pm AEST @MeredithCastles on both YouTube and Twitch. Deep water fears unlocked! 🌊 #science #gaming #fears #subnautica #sciencetok
