One of the stranger moments of my career was reviewing a game, giving it a four-page review and a well-deserved score of 89 percent in the then-massively-selling UK PC Gamer magazine, and then the game not coming out for another eight months.

Slender Threads by @blyts is a fantastic, funny point-and-click adventure, with a dark layer of meta-commentary. It's also gorgeous, with stunning voice acting. https://t.co/CiB1p3Cdel Please support Buried Treasure: https://t.co/ReCmCSpAbG https://t.co/P6R0tcd7sF

Tower of Mask is a Grimrock-like by @papertip150253, and it's a doozy. A brilliant old-school dungeon crawler with very new-school combat. https://t.co/uPxp1oyf7b Help Buried Treasure unearth these treats: https://t.co/ReCmCSq81e https://t.co/RBWJInfiDz
