4th February 2023 Our 11th Anniversary Giveaway! [Win Barry's Xmas Blend & Black FBC Mug]

Today marks The Sudden Stop's 11th Anniversary! Thank you to everyone who has visited the site over the years and nerded out about the games with us. As it's still pretty cold in the UK (and Finland!), it felt appropriate to run a giveaway with a snuggly theme, both for entries and for the prize.

Get your photo editing software ready, there are going to be cats.

For the prize this time, we are giving away a Remedy coffee bundle featuring 1) Barry's Xmas Blend and 2) a black FBC mug. Both items are the latest additions to the Remedy Store. 

Barry's Xmas Blend. For the colder months, the studio has teamed up with a local roastery, Helsingin Kahvipaahtimo to bring Barry's Xmas Blend. Described as a "medium-dark espresso blend with notes of dark chocolate, liquorice and roasted almond gets you a dreamy and creamy dark roast", it is a full bean blend of Brasilia Veloso, India Cherry, and Indonesia Java Baron. The pack contains 250g and can be purchased at the store for 15,00€.

Black Control FBC Mug. Following a successful run on the Remedy Store, the FBC mug is back, this time in black! The minimalistic design features the Federal Bureau of Control's seal in white, which shows up clearly against the shiny black background. The secure beverage container can be purchased at the store for 19,00€.

The competition will end on Tuesday, February 28th at 11:59PM UTC.

For this giveaway, there will be one (1) winner who will be selected at random from valid entries.

How To Enter:

For the giveaway, we want cats! Using photo-editing software, add cats to any Alan Wake scene. (Microsoft Paint or Paint.net are good options if you're looking for free software.) The edit doesn't have to be perfect, the cheesier the better! 

Will a chaotic cat in the background detract from Mr Scratch's televised horrors? Or is Cynthia Weaver just hanging out with her fluffy bestie?
