Before I dive into this little Baldur’s Gate 3 revelation—this article contains big, stonking spoilers for the game’s third act. I’m talking about twists that are of major importance to a key figure in the game’s plot—you have been warned, adventurer. The third act of Baldur’s Gate 3 sees a handful of shocking reveals concerning the Guardian, that helpfully dreamy visitor you create at the start of the game.

First off—again, spoiler alert, this is the last time I’m gonna say it—the Guardian is actually a mind flayer named the Emperor, who escaped from the Elder Brain and sought to thwart the Absolute. Secondly, as discovered in the depths under Baldur’s Gate, he’s… well, he’s the Balduran. The gate master himself, founder of the city. Captured by Mind Flayers, turned into a squid, but still Balduran all the same.

Some days it’s nailing down the last two letters that causes all the trouble; every obvious possibility ruled out and nothing else springing to mind. I was very much in that boat today, but luckily for me I still had enough wiggle room available to cast out a few exploratory guesses. Thankfully, one of them landed me the one letter that finally made today’s Wordle answer fall into place.

Today’s Wordle hint

Wordle today: A hint for Thursday, October 12

It turns out that being a one man criminal cleanup crew is hard work. I have spent a staggering amount of time virtually power washing filthy buildings in the past, which is why Crime Scene Cleaner piqued my interest as I scrolled through this year’s list of Next Fest demos. With a darker premise than similar titles such as PowerWash Simulator and House Flipper, I wanted to find out if it would have the same hypnotic influence over me that they had, despite its more mature approach. Similar to 2015’s Viscera Cleanup Detail, you’re cleaning up in the aftermath of gruesome violence, but Crime Scene Cleaner has you doing much more than just using a mop and bucket to wipe up the blood and guts.

You’re a school janitor who has been denied a pay rise. With a daughter in the hospital, and a very specific set of talents, you do what you need to do and take on gory cleanup jobs from shady clients. This demo has you starting with a brutal five person family murder in a now blood covered villa.
