Switchaboo’s Pick of the Week

Unfortunately, this week is a bit of a slow one, but as we have to pick one, it’d have to be…

Drum roll, please…

Her Majesty’s SPIFFING!

This game gets our Pick of the Week for its witty dialogue and unique premise. The gameplay looks adequate, however the plot is just too wacky too ignore and seems like it’d be a good laugh.

We considered giving the honor to AeternoBlade for its gameplay and art style, but the wackiness of Her Majesty’s Spiffing won us over this week.
