Kia ora Everyone!

Three giveaways tested and running on the Steam Deck with Junk Store this week: Foretales from Epic, In Sound Mind an Amazon Prime game, and a GOG code for Mystic Academy: Escape Room from Prime. All three downloaded and played, no desktop mode needed.

Foretales was the standout. It’s a deckbuilder, but not the sort where you just batter your way through fights. The story lives in the cards, so progress means playing them the right way. I sat down yesterday morning to test it and looked up just before lunchtime.

In Sound Mind starts in the basement of a derelict apartment block and had me from the first creepy hallway. I kept the session short because I already own it on Epic and I’m an achievement hunter, so I’ll carry on over there. Mystic Academy: Escape Room I tested first by mistake, and nearly lost an hour to it. It’s a lighter, wizarding spin on the escape room games, which makes a change from the darker ones in that series.

Anyone else played Foretales? Keen to know if it holds up past the first few chapters.

Hope you’re all having an excellent weekend.

Cheers,

Annie and Eben (aka The Junk Store Team)
