This will cause the coal to fall into the angel’s hands. Before the coal reaches the bottom, switch the two panels and zoom out from the bottom one, then zoom back into the figures of the horse and the angel in the same panel. Zoom into the box and move the panel with the building beneath it to align the matching yellow banners, causing the coal to fall into the scaffolding of the panel below.

This will cause a piece of coal to drop and break the pot beneath. Zoom back into the box of coal on the shelf of the studying boy’s room. Pan over to follow the red-shirt boy into the other panel and zoom into the building in the back. In the panel with the statue holding the basket, players must zoom back out until they return to the boy studying.

We've worked with Childnet International on this list of games that help children and young people experiment with what they should trust and the potential unintended consequences. Childnet International is an online safety charity working with others to help make the internet a great and safe place for children and young people. They believe that the internet is a wonderfully positive tool for children and young people. Childnet are also part of the UK Safer Internet Centre and organise Safer Internet Day in the UK every February. Some of the games, like Thousand Threads, either put them in a world where what people say and believe impacts the other characters. Other games, like Headliner, put the player in charge of information so they can see the consequences first hand of its misuse. With the amount of content that is online sometimes it’s quite easy to be reading something that is inaccurate without realising.' There are even games, like Papers Please, that enable the player to police who is and isn't allowed access to information or even access to the country.Īs Childnet write, 'Critical Thinking is an important skill that we need in order to navigate the internet safely and find the latest news headlines or facts and information. These games each provide different ways for players to develop critical thinking. They provide a space where trust and authority can be experienced first hand, and where the negative and positive consequences of how we handle these topics play out.

The era of a lone developer making a hit game in their bedrooms is long gone. Or is it? We have found a swath of amazing games that have been driven into existence by just one person. These games often stand out because of their singular vision and focused scope. Although, as the discussion surrounding this list has uncovered, almost all games have some contribution from other people. Coding, designing, creating art, writing music, recording dialogue. Still, these are games where there has been a single driving force (auteur) willing their creation into existence.
