SUDOCATS is a single-player puzzle game released in March 2022 and created by DevCats, the developers behind Building Full of Cats and Castle Full of Cats. I played on my Windows 10 laptop but the game is also available for PS4/PS5, Xbox One/X/S and Nintendo Switch. Rated “E” for everyone.
This is exactly what it sounds like, sudoku played with cats instead of numbers. There’s an option to play with numbers, if you prefer.
My husband loves sudoku but I’d never been able to get into it before. I think playing with cats instead of numbers worked much better for me!
Players can also unlock information about the real-life cats behind the SUDOCATS game, which inspired me to turn my own cats, Zoe and Buddy, into “sudocats”!

I enjoyed A Castle Full of Cats so much, I decided to play A BUILDING FULL OF CATS from the same developers, the DevCats.
A BUILDING FULL OF CATS is a hidden object puzzle game where all of the objects are cats, with hand drawn art and lots of hidden secrets and surprises, including a reference to the Fallout games.
Some of the “cats” are little more than two pointy ears and two dots for eyes, peeking out from the scenery, or they’re hidden inside of drawers and behind objects that must be clicked to open, so it’s quite a challenge!
The game is only $1.99 on Steam and worth every penny for about an hour of cat-filled fun. It’s also available on Nintendo Switch.

Watching Better Call Saul s5e8 “Bagman” last night, I was reminded of that time in Fallout New Vegas when I crawled back to Novac, across the Mojave Wasteland, with 37 gold bars from the Sierra Madre casino in the Dead Money DLC. This is exactly what it felt like.

When I finish STRAY later this week I’ll be giving away some cat toys, earrings, buttons like the ones in the game & a $10 donation to the winner’s favorite cat charity!
Watch the video for prizes, rules and information. To enter, comment on any of my STRAY videos and just tell me you want to enter.
Today’s Try-It Tuesday game is MONSTER PROM, a really weird and wildly inappropriate 2018 PC dating simulator about partying with dudebro werewolves, thespian vampires, well-endowed poltergeists, soul eating demons, snobby gorgons and more.
MONSTER PROM was developed by Beautiful Glitch, based in Barcelona, Spain. I played alone but it’s possible to play with up to four people.
Don’t let the “prom” in the name fool you – this is not an innocent game about innocent teenagers.
I didn’t expect to like it but had a good time and would actually like to play it again.
Rated “M” for mature audiences, due to drug references, sexual themes and strong language.

Now, I’m starting over with a new playthrough of the recent 1.0 release, which adds a bunch of quests, characters, potion requests, haggling mechanics and more.
POTION CRAFT is a singleplayer game developed by niceplay games and published by tinyBuild. Development is ongoing, with updates planned for the future.
It’s available on PC and Xbox, with releases on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch planned for sometime in Spring 2023.
The game appears to be rated E 10+ for “everyone age 10 and up” but parents should know that there are references to sexual activity, including libido potions and mention of a brothel, as well as refererences to drinking and violence. Some characters and potion requests are downright evil, asking for help to poison someone or burn down a neighbor’s house, for example.
I am counting down to Christmas with the Official Vault Dweller’s Advent Calendar from Bethesda. Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, eBay and other retailers.
My YouTube channel recently reached the 2,000 subscriber milestone, and I want to thank each and every one of you who joined me on my adventures, liked, subscribed, and cheered me along the way. Your support makes this channel possible. Thank you!
Extra special shout out to my Patreon, Twitch and YouTube contributors: BJ, Celtic Granny, IceStella, Patrick, Ronin, Sulfur Furious and TaSwavo … and to my long-time Fallout Friday sponsor Jesike Biking.
I also want to thank Starfish_central gaming for being a friend to the channel since early days, and to Herman for convincing me to replay Fallout 4. Rose the Raider and her rocket-powered baseball bat Granny’s Kiss were a big part of the growth of my channel.
But most of all, I have to thank my husband, who talked me into live streaming. Without his support and encouragement I would not be here.
To celebrate this milestone and thank all of you, I’m giving away a big pile of real-life loot, inspired by the games I’ve played over the years, including jewelry and prop replicas I made myself!
There are Skyrim, Fallout, Outer Worlds, Stardew Valley, BioShock, Wytchwood, Calico and other prize bundles, as well as masks from Dishonored and If On a Winter’s Night Four Travelers. Check out the video to see it all!
If you can’t wait for the giveaway, similar items are also available for purchase on my website JLHjewelry.com or you can contact me through Patreon, Twitch or Twitter, to inquire about any goodies that catch your eye.
The giveaways are free to enter and open to anyone, not just patrons or subscribers. All you need to do is comment on my corresponding YouTube videos.
For example, if you’d like to win the Skyrim goodies, leave a comment on any one of my Skyrim videos.
Or to try for the Fallout prize package, leave a comment on any Fallout 3, Fallout 4, or Fallout Shelter video.
For the Wytchwood witch’s kit, comment on my Wytchwood videos. You get the idea.
Just make sure to mention the 2022 Celebration. You can say something like “I’d love to win the cat mask in your 2022 sub celebration” or “please enter me in the giveaway for the teacup” so I know you’d like to participate and aren’t just leaving a random friendly comment.
And YES you can absolutely try for more than one prize. But limit one comment per video, please – if you want to increase your chances of winning, comment on more than one video. Most of these games have several, and some have 100s, of videos on my channel.
Unfortunately, due to high shipping costs, postal restrictions, the pandemic, and other worldwide shipping issues, physical items can only be mailed to addresses within the US.
HOWEVER … I will do one special giveaway open only to my viewers who live outside the United States. Leave a comment on ANY video for ANY game I’ve played in the past year, and you will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a copy of that game on Steam! (Some restrictions may apply. Not all games are available in all countries.)
Make sure to mention that you are an international viewer in your comment. For example, you can say something like, “Congrats from Germany on reaching 2000 subs!” or “Please enter me to win Calico on Steam in the international giveaway.”
OFFICIAL RULES & CONDITIONS

2. You must provide a US mailing address in order to receive physical gifts.

5. Recipients will be chosen from comments that clearly mention the 2022 celebration and are made during the celebration.
6. One comment per person per video. If you want to increase your chances of winning a particular prize, comment on other videos of the same game.
7. Fake accounts, duplicate accounts, bots, or any other artificial means of increasing subscriber count or giveaway entries will result in disqualification.
8. I will contact winners by replying to their YouTube comments and posting a video announcement. US recipients will need to provide a valid US mailing address via email or DM me via Twitter, Twitch or Patreon. The international recipient will need to make arrangements with me on Steam.
9. If a recipient does not respond within 72 hours (3 days), cannot provide a shipping address, or for any other reason is unable to accept the prize, a new recipient will be selected and contacted as described above.
10. Participants understand that I am not responsible for shipping delays, internet problems or other issues that are beyond my control.
11. Participants grant permission to use their YouTube names in my announcement video and on social media, if they win.
12. All participants must comply with the YouTube Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

So raise a glass, steal a sweetroll, and would you kindly join me in celebrating over 2,000 subscribers in 2022!
While livestreaming on Twitch yesterday, IceStella joked about a Fallout version of the popular game Wordle. I can’t program a game like that but I love word games so I created this free FALLOUT 4 crossword puzzle to download and print.
