We lost DC Fontana (writer) just a few days ago, and Aron Eisenberg (Nog) earlier this year.

I really need to play the original Laura Bow games in preparation for this, which I've been meaning to do for ages anyway.

The wristwatch is round with yellow glow-in-the-dark hands. It emits a rhythmic ticking.

A microphone.

I've downloaded this and had a quick look at it. Looks like fun.
