Update 1 February
Going to kick off my post with my February 2019 book-game challenge :
| Game | Book |
|---|---|
| Conan Exiles | The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian by Robert E. Howard |
Yep, I’m heading straight into another story and setting rife with controversial topics - but hey this one’s got swords and sorcery and big scary beasts to slay! So I’ll be off to enjoy the ride through Hyboria in both literary and digital forms, and be back here near month’s end to wrap up my thoughts on the full experience.
Disclaimer: If you’ve seen any of my other posts, you know I have already been playing Conan Exiles for several months now so this is not a fresh game to me. However, I am edging towards completion and will be wrapping up play in the near future. I really wanted to get this done as a challenge now before I end my game permanently.
BLAEO Monthly Theme pick:
- Regency Solitaire
1.5 hours playtime
0 of 17 achievements
Was really surprised that spring cleaning wasn’t a theme for March or April instead. Had expected a romance/heart/sexy theme this month, but I’ll work with it!
I didn’t feel like playing the oldest unplayed game on my Steam account so I went with the cleaning game theme instead. Dug around in my account and came across Regency Solitaire (of Felicia Day shame fame.) It’s about upgrading and decorating a ballroom which is close enough to cleaning for me. Also has romance stuff in it. Being a short month and that I have other stuff to do, a casual game is probably best.
Otherwise played this week:
- Contradiction - the all-video murder mystery adventure
2 hours playtime
4 of 17 achievements
- Mirror
30.2 hours playtime
76 of 114 achievements

I don’t know anything about Conan, so looking forward to your review! I think it’s great that you stick to your plan of matching games with books. Good luck with finishing Conan (now, do I mean the book or the game… we’ll never know *vanishes mysteriously*)
Haha, I will finish both eventually, I swear!
Thanks for putting up with my updates :)
