The Collage Atlas

 In the spirit of World Mental Health Day on the 10th of October I played The Collage Atlas which was a lovely game to play before bed.



Its a lovingly hand crafted world encompassing themes of memory, agency and hope. Move through a guided story in a sketchbook like world that reacts to your every move. Your agency curates the background music, where you look, where you move breathes life into the still drawing surrounding you. Follow the little pinwheels for a direct adventure or wonder around to explore the dedication of John Evelyn’s artistic mind.


Your curiousness brings to life the area around you as you collect keys, knock letters back into place and complete puzzles to advance the story and fill in the book’s pages. It has simple controls and often prompts you clearly down in the bottom right hand corner.


The pretty artwork and mindful words make this game a lovely little thing to experience when you’re feeling a little low (my mind isn’t so kind right now between a pain flare and grief) or just need some time to relax for yourself.


It is currently a free claim on the prime gaming store if you pay for Amazon prime or gaming, it is also currently £9.99 on steam.

Silly little writings - Portsmouth Paradox

  A group of Portsmouth students kept hearing the Navy boys talking about experiments happening down at the docs. It sounded like something straight out of a Grimm tale, of monsters and petaled heads, that something similar had happened over in the States. After a few weeks of some lovely productive procrastination, four students decided to investigate, because do those papers need doing right now? So our four scatterbrained adventurers carefully piled into their bright blue car and headed down to the docks. Whilst the Engineer hummed the Scooby Doo theme song, the Architect noticed that a new building could be seen near the base which seemed so out of place. Lodged between the old crumbling infrastructure of Portsmouth, a large, Americanised building stood out.  At the top of the building where there should be all sorts of radio antennae, there stood a silhouette of a mechanised dome with a warm glow emanating from it. As they pulled up opposite, situating the car i...

Happy New Year! Welcome to my new blog with a Happy New Year, may your health be stable and pain be manageable.  Hi there, I am Ms Ditz. First name Disastrous. :P  I am 31, a Creative Writing Student and a Muma of two chaos gremlins. One of which turned 11 on boxing day. Wow - doesn't time just fly. I wrung in the new year with a snotty child pressed into my side - you know the type, "I'm not tired" repeated every few minutes and who falls asleep the moment the fireworks finish. - and another dancing like a wacky waving inflatable tube man. My own flu battling my PoTs (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and my aunt perched beside us, resting from the multitude of board games we had played over the last few days. It got me thinking about resolutions (how long this will last is up in the air). My son wants his friends to get along, my daughter is uncertain why we all do this and my own to actually keep up with social media this year - my course dragging me kicki...
