I've a question about #PointAndClick games: why does the character seem to shrink & grow as they move around a room?
They look like they're shrinking or perhaps walking down stairs as they move towards the viewer. (The opposite of real life when things close to you seem big!)
It's not just this game, I've seen the same issue in lots of other games.
Is it because the character is staying the same size but the room is drawn with perspective?

I guess one of the joys of a #PointAndClick game is making your own map? Here's mine for the 1st chapter of #3MinutesToMidnight:

Oh! The video games I played in October all begin with 'B':
The Biggleboss INCident; Blackwell Unbound; The Blackwell Convergence; The Blackwell Deception; Backpack Battles.
Yep, #pointandclick
I've started the last in the Blackwell series - I'm not finished yet. I know they're older, but maybe I'll write a review of the series when I'm done.
I also played #SteamNextFest Demos: Goblin Sushi (many hours' worth); Nighthawks; Atomic Age; Moon Garden Optimizer; Mystery of Silence; Servant of the Lake; Uncle Lee's Cookbook
There were 5 other demos I played, but I uninstalled them after 10 minutes' play - they weren't for me
