Hollingbourne

Our home for the week had lots of high ceilings and wood beams. Outside it was all very green and featured moorhens and a very industrious squirrel.



The local church had a footpath next to it that took us to the rest of the village: the footpath itself was a rare use of a solid path and high fields of corn.

Tiny Bookshop

I've finished (well, seen the credits, played some more and finished the achievements I was after) Tiny Bookshop. It's been a great year for games and I really loved this one after a recommendation from Katrina.

You spend each day selling books in a seaside town, chatting with the locals and completing little – or larger – side quests. It is very astutely crafted from a simple premise with enough additional elements to make a very addictive game. One of the main mechanics is that customers will sometimes ask you to recommend a book and will say a bit about what they want. This is the part I personally really like, not least because I've heard of – or read – many of the books that are in the game as they are generally well-known ones.

An indication of how much I liked it is that I racked up a lot of hours in my game – 39 hours in total. Overall, an interesting, upbeat, low-pressure game particularly for book-lovers.
