In my recent article, I went a bit deeper... connecting the Johari Window to gaming, creativity, and self-discovery.

What stood out here was the great playground it offered, perfect for curiosity & laughter.
I made a video about it, a Gamer Dad perspective on what makes Botanicula special, along with some moments with Junior, from what we experienced.

Just published a new article—this one a bit different from my usual reviews.

My new Gamer Dad Review is now live!
This time Junior and I explored the wonderfully strange world of Botanicula.
A tiny point-and-click adventure, yet... a large surprising magical experience filled with creative creatures, joyful music, and a story about friendship and saving a tree.
It’s one of those indie games where imagination runs completely wild, perfect for both parents and kids:
