Dan Smith is a developer that won the BAFTA Young Game Designer award back in 2016 for a project that's now called The Spectrum Retreat, having recently been released with the help of Ripstone Games after years of development, seeing you try to escape a mysterious hotel while solving puzzles to access the various floors.

As you can tell from our review, we rather liked it, and Sam took to the livestream last Friday to show us exactly why. If you missed it, or just want to see the game in action once more, then you can check the full replay out down below, where we go through various floors in the complex.

Have you checked this out yet?
