It was a good purchase, all things considered. I’d heard good things about this entry and figured, why not. I ended up landing on last year’s Life is Strange: True Colors, which is the latest in the series that kicked off with the terrific original title.

Just a time to really soak in the solitude, recharge my batteries, and spoil myself a bit. I treated it - the part that I wasn’t working - as a staycation of sorts. And suddenly I had all of this quiet and space for an entire week. I’ve never had it to myself for more than an hour or two since we moved here four years ago. I cannot stress how strange this is, because I’m never alone in that house.
