    Not crazy about this genre, but I took it as a freebie.

    Wow, it's only been a week but -after the rush of the holiday's- it
    seems like forever since I've done one of these things. I feel out of practice; what's the next step to these announcements? Something about
    a free game on Epic, wasn't it?



    * Turmoil
    https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/turmoil-26318a
    A small-scale business simulation game that has you in
    charge of oil-production. It's not as dry as it sounds,
    though, since (as the name implies) it's as much about
    the unscrupulous deals you make as the resource management.
    It does look a bit like a mobile-game, although its tiny,
    finicky controls probably wouldn't play well with big
    fingers so I guess its a PC game at heart. I'm not sure
    it appeals to me, despite that.


    It's not a bad game, but hardly an auspicious start for 2025 Epic
    give-aways. Well, small starts can lead to big things, they say. And
    The Number grows regardless.

    Seven days to claim it; we're back to the old schedule. Such luxury to
    have so much time to decide!

    [Reminder: I posted early. Don't try to grab the game before
    4PM GMT or you'll end up disappointed ;-)]

    'Business simulation' sounds boring to me but I never played one
    before so I could be, and probably am, wrong about the genre.
