The updated version does not impact the original game, both versions are still available, and can be selected from the same game launcher – so you can choose which version of the game you want to play, the original or the new one 🙂 Trine Enchanted Edition is […]

They’re always asking for random items such as old microwaves or anything else they could break in the name of sound science. Here they are smashing different types of fruit and noodles, and beating some rocks with a hammer. Sound Quiz We have […]
