Why do I not just autoload?
Because in the last week, I've:
- gone to dinner and left my wallet at home
- walked out the door with the wrong set of keys
- walked home from a place I biked to, forgetting the bike

And excellent game! I started it yesterday and I'm having trouble putting it down.
I interviewed the creator of Blue Prince days before the game's release about his modest expectations for the indie puzzler.
And then I interviewed him again, last week, ahead of The Game Awards, about how a hit game does and doesn't change your life.
