Happy Friday everyone! There’s another big casual game update this week, with nine new PC games and two new Mac games available.

Sometimes, it seems like themes can present themselves in the updates, and there are two very distinct themes this week.

She asks if she’s going mad, and he checks for her a moment, admits that yes, she’s bonkers, but that all the best people are…
