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.

I use Excel to track word count, story progression, and CYOA paths because English requires a lot of math. I know how to use Outlook even if we aren't on speaking terms, it knows what it did. It's so secure that it bricks your computer if you lose access to the e-mail. I use Publisher often to type-set projects and I get on well enough with PowerPoint to make niche presentations and Pitch Decks. I currently use Edge. OneNote seems interesting, but ...
