Texas Jigsaw Killer 25

Post by Caida »

Hi,

I've been taking an inventory of the walkthroughs on the forum and noticed that many of the earlier ones for TJK don't have walkthroughs.

This TJK #25 was very simple - I was really surprised. When I first started doing the TJKs I wouldn't attempt them unless there was a walkthrough posted that I could follow step by step. I just assumed that anything without a walkthrough was too difficult for me.

Haven't bothered with small text for this as it is an old one (as a side note when I was scouring the forum looking for walkthroughs I could follow I thought that the tiny text was some kind of special code that you needed to be a member to be able to interpret :shock: I know better know!)

Cheers
Caida
