![]() The new story demo is only available until June 30, so there's still a couple of weeks to try it out. Each character is loud and proud of their identity and their worries revolve around things like how to get over heartbreak or snagging tickets to a gig, not the rubbish we have to deal with in real life like taxes and legislation that's slowly trying to kill us. It makes me so happy to see such a diverse cast in a game. Ah, the course of true love never did run smooth. ![]() Then there's Mo, who's having a rough time after going through a break up with mutual friend Iskander, who's also going through the motions thanks to the break up. There's Leon, a reserved tattooist who has a huge interest in the latest trending boyband. You play as Samar, with her froggy familiar, and meet 3 of her friends. Story mode is made even better thanks to its cast of characters. To me, that's pure wholesome nostalgia with no rose-tinted glasses in sight. With those, it was usually a competition between the game's characters to be the best in the world or win a tournament at matching 3s, but in Spirit Swap it's just a bunch of friends helping spirits move on to the next world. It reminds me of so many arcade-style games I played endless as a kid, ones which were built for two players rather than one, with a story mode weirdly shoehorned in. I do want to give developer Soft Not Weak a shoutout for perfectly capturing the flow of all those match-3 games with a story mode. I don't think I could write anything better than Alice's take on Spirit Swap's gameplay, because she really nails the lo-fi, chill vibes it'll give you. And with that, an introduction to some of the characters you'll meet (and maybe even date). Instead, you get a taster of the game's story and versus modes. It's different to the endless demo that Alice wrote about in February, which isn't available here. Charles clearly found his wife more restful than Barbara, Nell Gwynn, and the rest of the demanding royal lovelies.Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats To Match-3 To has been on our radar for a while now, and with its appearance at this year's Wholesome Direct during Summer Game Fest, I knew I had to go and check out the new demo. Charles could have sent Catherine back to Portugal after she was found to be infertile, but she stayed as his Queen, and they are, for the most part, affectionate and gentle with each other. The series struggles to stick to historical facts (the Great Fire, the Plague, wars, Charles’s refusal to compromise with Parliament), but the portrait of the marriage rings true. The series is a riot of lace, wigs, and aristocratic misbehavior, and the cast includes the late Helen McCrory as Barbara Villiers, Charles’s chief mistress. In this interview, Sewell talks about Catherine's arrival at the royal court, when the King takes in the tiny black-clad woman with enormous hair and exclaims, “They brought me a bat to marry.” Henderson joins him and they talk about the series and how Charles and Catherine become allies and friends if not conventional lovers. Henderson appeared in 2002 with Rufus Sewell in Charles II: The Power and the Passion( The Last King in the U.K.), currently streaming on both Britbox and Amazon Prime Video. Let's look at some of the roles that made her career, both the well-known and the less remembered. She also became identified with the Bridget Jones movies, as best friend Jude, a high-powered bank executive who calls Bridget daily from the privacy of the ladies’ toilet in tears over her boyfriend. Trainspotting (1996), provided breakout roles for her, Carlyle, and Ewan MacGregor, until she landed the role of Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Her first big TV break came in the series Hamish Macbeth (1995) starring Robert Carlyle. When their aspiring scientist friend Barry’s invention goes awry, best friends Cyd and Shelby gain the power to leap forward and backward in time whenever they want and even sometimes when they don’t Now, they must learn to master their newfound power to navigate high school, life and Shelby’s. ![]() Inspired by the TV talent show Opportunity Knocks, she went on to a place at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama at the age of 17. Henderson came from a working class background and began her career as a child, singing in working men’s clubs and in the ring before boxing matches. ![]() ![]() However, her career has been so much more. She was known for years as “Spud’s girlfriend” from Trainspotting, until she became famous as Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter franchise. Scottish actor Shirley Henderson, last seen on PBS Masterpiece as Aunt Western in Tom Jones, seems to pop up in everything, is instantly recognizable –– tiny, dark, and intense, with that characteristically high voice. ![]()
