Midfielder’s outlook on life has changed since the death of his former Anfield teammate in a tragic accidentFabinho attended Diogo Jota’s funeral unable to believe it was all true.

PC, Mac, PS5, Nintendo Switch; Playables/PanicClever puzzler has you freely buzzing around trying to quickly achieve all your bucket list activities while avoiding sharp or gooey life-ending hazardsThe death of a housefly is usually an unceremonious event.
