but hacking and slashing recharges
your mana, and you can soon get into
a satisfying groove by alternating
physical and magical attacks. The
only minor problem with Cat Quest is
that it won’t run on macOS Catalina,
so you might be better off buying the
iOS version if your Mac has already
been updated.- Deathtrap Dungeon: The

There’s nothing like a bit of nostalgia
to comfort you in times like these –
and for many there’s nothing more
nostalgic than Deathtrap Dungeon,
the most famous of the Fighting
Fantasy books from the 1980s.
The book series, of course, helped
to inspire the whole dungeon-crawling
genre of computer game that’s still
going strong today, and this new
‘interactive video adventure’ is an
attempt to update (ever so slightly)
the format of the old paperback
books while retaining their old-school
charm. The game is currently in its
‘early access’ phase, so there’s still
a little fine-tuning to be done, but we
couldn’t resist the chance to take a
trip down memory lane.
You don’t get modern 3D graphics;
the actor Eddie Marsan acts as the
game’s narrator, recorded on video
as he guides you through the twists
and turns of the classic adventure.
In fact, it’s rather reminiscent of the34.
