Below are short quotations from the games, in no particular order. (I’ve tried to choose excerpts that might help jog people’s memories, but that wouldn’t be total spoilers.) (But it’s hard to gauge! Probably some are more spoilery than others!)

“You feel like a nice rock on the rocking chair would relax you before you go anywhere.” (This has now been guessed! For future reference, it’s from Daddy’s Birthday by Ruth and Jonathan.)

“You tried to tell the professor that bringing a harpoon into an inflatable lifeboat was a bad idea.” (This has now been guessed! For future reference, it’s from Untold Riches by Jason Ermer.)

“Your roundness is perfect and exquisite, your color a sweetly deep cerulean. In your cross-plane eight points mark a square.” (This has now been guessed! For future reference, it’s from Marble Madness by Emily Short.)

“One wrong move and you will either end up in la Bastille or on the block.” (This has now been guessed! For future reference, it’s from Secret Agent Cinder by Emily Ryan.)
