The game stars C-Bot, an adorable little white robot that is owned by Doctor Puzzle, a young scientist.

Wunderlist LogoI’m known for making lists. I make grocery lists, house cleaning lists, daily writing lists, birthday lists, favorite candy lists, lists of bands I like and records I need to buy, the list (pardon the pun) goes on.

This week, we slow down the action a little with an old-school dungeon crawl.
