Is the arse-end of January too late for a 2025 round-up? Perhaps, but nobody has managed to stop me so far. Read all about the maps, guides, and mischief I've been up to 👇 buymeacoffee.com/westydesign/...

Made my GameFAQs guide writing debut this week with This Way Madness Lies by @zeboydgames.bsky.social! It's a charming, well-worth-your-time RPG that mixes Sailor Moon and Shakespeare's classics with chuckles and QoL features in equal measure. Break a leg: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/383208-th...

Had such an excellent time! Great games and the loveliest bunch of folks I've had the pleasure of mingling with. Thanks to everyone who chatted with me - and everyone who'll be subjected to my ramblings tomorrow! #advx #adventurex

I'm at AdventureX this weekend! Bring on the pointing, clicking, and everything in between 😁 #advx #adventurex

3 hour train journey might be the best time to find out your new phone doesn't have a headphone jack guess I'll listen to the Coughs, Crying Babies, and Cringeworthy Conversations mega mix 🎼😌

It shouldn't surprise anybody that Silksong is a massive game - if you're hunting for 100% completion or just need help finding those last few fleas, our map's got you covered! mapgenie.io/hollow-knight-silksong/maps/pharloom/

Just completed Sable and, wow, what a game 🤩 Occasionally rough around the edges but one of the most enjoyable and confidently stylish open world games I've played in some time. Lovely character writing, too. Looking forward to seeing what you do next, @shedworksgreg.bsky.social !

Kathy Rain 2 - Soothsayer (by @clifftopgames.bsky.social) was released three weeks ago. Our @westydesign.bsky.social took it for a ride, with some mixed outcomes. Read his review here: www.nicegamehints.com/a/kathy-rain...

Almost like singles instead of albums…

The Resident Evil 7 map is now LIVE over at MapGenie! Revisiting it was such a treat - it really is one of the survival horror GOATs (even if the latter half is as action packed as RE6 without any of that game's fun mechanics) (rolling around zombies on the floor is peak how do people hate RE6)

MORE easter eggs? If you insist! - The Avengers (1998 - found a well-dressed John Steed-y type dead in a hedge maze) - Rick Astley - Apocalypse Now / Z: Steel Soldiers - Only Fools and Horses Plus some smaller nods to Excalibur, Beowulf, Dan Dare, The Quatermass Experiment and Rogue Trooper. Phew!

Another batch of Atomfall easter eggs / references mapped today: - Fawlty Towers - The Two Ronnies (Four Candles) - Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Eastenders, Only Fools and Horses & Wickerman (all darts champions, apparently) - The Italian Job There's a Lord of the Rings one somewhere too 👀

Atomfall is full of references and easter eggs - added these to the MapGenie map today: * Mr. Bean's car (ft. Armchair) * Headless statue & Oddjob's hat (from Goldfinger, 1964) * Dead parrot (from the Monty Python sketch) * Tons of little nods to The Prisoner (1967) * Zombie shark!

Had a lovely chat with @grundislavgames.bsky.social for Nice Game Hints' very first interview! 2025 is shaping up to be a *very* good year for point-and-click adventures, if Rosewater has anything to say about it 🤠

What a joy it was to revisit the GOAT! I was *obsessed* with Portal as a teenager, and still had plenty to discover on a replay 😳 If you've never played, my low-spoiler walkthrough with stage-by-stage trivia and collectible guides is the best way to have your cake and eat it too 🍰

As of yesterday, I'm officially part of the Map Genie team at IGN! The team's lovely and the tools are top notch, it's been such a great time!! First mapping project is Avowed, so if you're gallivanting about in Obisidian's latest (and I daresay greatest exploration-wise), I'll see you there! 😁

forget video games, needle felting is where the fun is

Hark, ye smelly ne'er-do-wells! Exploring Trosky in Kingdom Come 2? Bring my interactive map with ya for a wingman better than Mutt. It's got weapons, skill books, nests, points of interest, and all the loot a fella from Rattay could ask for - 1500 pins worth! www.gamerguides.com/kingdom-come...

Calling all point-n-click game devs! Fancy an interview? If you're working on an exciting project, I'd love to hear from you! Send me a DM to get the ball rolling - you'll be among the first to be interviewed on the @nicegamehints.bsky.social site! #indiedevs #adventuregames #gamedev

You can't rely on Valve to release things in a timely manner... but when they deliver, they DELIVER. What a journey. What a *community*. Merry Smissmas, everyone. 🥹

It's a WIP as The Zone is ABSOLUTELY (and I cannot stress this enough) MASSIVE, but our Stalker 2 interactive map is live! Quests, stashes, artifacts, and even collectible notes - get stuck in! www.gamerguides.com/stalker-2-he...

Any day spent writing about Resident Evil is a good day - and the first game's puzzles are great fun. If you haven't entered the survival horror yet, there's never been a better time! 🧟🧟🧟 #residentevil

Can't complain about this year's Spotify wrapped - SteamWorld Heist 2 OST is a banger album that everyone needs to listen to, ditto Radical Optimism, ditto Tom Cardy's entire discogra-

Trying to curate my feed, but you have to click on accounts here to block 'em. That makes the algorithm think I want to see *more* weird fetish art and dudes rocking out with their cocks out. Send help.

Finally free of Musk's musk - seems like the perfect time to share some early screenshots of my upcoming horror-puzzle game, On The Other Hand. WIP!
