A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Blonde Sofia: Cross Stitch sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. During much of the 19th century in the United States, visibly painted cosmetics became socially unacceptable even though beauty practices never disappeared. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. The Oregon Trail eventually appeared across generations of computer hardware and sold tens of millions of copies, making it one of the most enduring educational games. That gives Blonde Sofia: Cross Stitch a little more company than it first appears to have.
