Sahur Bank Blas

OMG dude you HAVE to play Sahur Bank Blas. I literally just finished playing it and it's 11 PM and I cannot sleep, I'm still thinking about it.

Remember how that guy, Mark, told us it was like, "Are you ready for a bank heist? You have 20 seconds to crack the safe! Compete with your friend — the first to open the vault wins. Smash the safe open and beat your friend to it. Hit your friend with a club to slow them down and win the race."? Honestly, that description is so wrong it's hilarious. It's like describing a really fancy steak dinner as "cow meat on a plate." Technically true, but totally misses the point.

I went into it expecting some dumb button-mashing game where you just whack stuff. But it's not that at all. Not even close. The first time I played, I was so confused. You're not smashing anything. You're like, an "Architect" or something, planning this super intricate heist for the "Chronos Vault." The "20 seconds" isn't for smashing, it's for when you're trying to re-route the old power grid in the building and you have to hit all the right switches before the lights totally cut out. It's so tense, like a mini puzzle game within a puzzle game.

And the "club"? It's not a club! It's this little EMP device called a "Pulse Disruptor" and you use it to temporarily jam security systems or disable cameras for a few seconds. It's a tactical tool, not a weapon to hit your friend with. The game is actually about working *with* your friend, like you're both master planners trying to figure out the best way in.

I remember this one moment, I was stuck on the "Laser Maze" stage for like 20 minutes, just staring at the blueprints. Then I figured out you could use the old ventilation shafts to bypass the whole thing! I felt like a genius, like a real hacker from a movie. And the sound it makes when you successfully re-route a data packet? It's this little *click-whirr* sound, so satisfying.

I started playing around 7 PM, thinking I'd just check it out for a bit. Looked at the clock and it was 10:45. Just totally lost track of time. I don't usually like these kind of super-thinky games, but this was different. Maybe it's just me, but the tutorial was a bit confusing at first, I just wanted to jump in and start doing stuff, but then it clicked. It's like a really smart escape room, but you're planning the escape *before* you even go in. It's clever. Really, really clever.

I already told Sarah about it, she's gonna download it tomorrow. Seriously, you need to try it. It's just... fun. Really, really fun. I'm still thinking about that last level, how I could have done it faster if I'd just used the Pulse Disruptor on the main server room earlier. Ugh, gotta sleep now. Talk tomorrow!
