It's play time Anna and max have the kind of relationship everyone pretends to find annoying. But really, their friends are just a little bit jealous. Because you can see how much these two people are meant to be together. They just-fit. 12345 Anna is daring and inquisitive, max is sensible. She encourages him to try new things. He stops her from doing stupid stuff. Usually. But not today. Maybe it's the sunshine. Maybe it's the wine. Because today, when anna finds a randomly-unlocked shutter on a random side street, max isn't quick enough to persuade her not to go inside. His mind is on the picnic they've just had, the kisses they've shared. So what if anna is intent on seeking out some new dark and gloomy pace to scare him with. It's just anna being anna, right? This is why he loves her. It's just an adventure. A dare. It'll be ok. And then the shutter bangs down, and everything is very far from ok. 13utcher is the fifth locked room puzzle created by our resident mad genius, and it's one of the most impressively-realised yet! No expense has been spared to recreate the atmosphere of the butcher's lair in all its gory details.
