Farewell to Seawell, Part 3 – House Interiors

This video focuses on interior design: it’s rather fabulous. Fabulous though in an incomplete way… the game expects more than one year’s play to collect all of the furniture sets.

Farewell to Seawell, Part 2 – The Museum Collections

The second in our “farewell” series, this is all about the consequences of obsessive-compulsive collecting. Which also just happens to be the museum’s insect, fish, fossil, and art collections. I do have a gripe about the paintings: with the real to fake ratio over the year we...
