Books

• • After the Darkness by Tilly Bagshawe: it's a very classic thriller, so classic that all the characters are caricatures of themselves. And everyone is obsessed with sex, money and love. Weird.

Games

• Stray: still don't understand why everyone raves about the animation. The animation is the weakest part here. Worldbuilding, characters, background, story, all that stuff works well. But the animation? Really? For a cat, this should be fluid as flip, but it's janky and doesn't blend well and the cat stops in weird poses all the time.
