Staff Bio
Avatar LostQuixote

A mystery fan since a young age I’ve progressed from reruns of ‘Murder She Wrote’ and ‘Columbo’, from back in the days when most TVs only had four channels, to shows like ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Lost’ and of course Adventure Games!

My favourite ones involve mysterious islands and hair-tearingly difficult puzzles which don’t offer a satisfying solutions Neutral
