This turn-based adventure immerses players in the dramatic story of Etienne Quist, a writer facing a severe sentence of writer’s block for his crime.

The visual presentation is commendable, with the real world depicted in rich detail and …

A certain red-headed witch in a certain seven season HBO series once said, “The night is dark and full of terrors.” It rings true for Hunt the Night, where darkness falling heralds the uprising of unholy creatures affected by the corruption of the night, damning humanity again and again. In the 9th Age of Man, …
In this game about death, life’s regrets, and moving on the titular Kabaret happens to be a monster entertainment den, where the supernatural monsters go to hang out.

There aren’t many games around that allow you to re-live the innocence of being a child. Unless those games are ones you previously played as a youngster, you’re hard pressed to find something that awakens the inner child, knocking at the door of long forgotten memories and emotions.

If you’re old like me (but not quite Vampiric old), the concept of vegetarian vampires goes back further than disturbed boys with fancy haircuts sparkling in the sunlight. Back in my day of the late 80’s and early 90’s – she says waving her walking stick at the clouds – we had the British cartoon …

Let me start by saying The Redress of Mira is imperfect, but by no means unplayable. In fact, there’s a lot of fun in its simplicity and it’s balanced well with varied puzzle-solving, fantasy elements, platforming, and a good story. It’s one of those games that drops the player into the world with little context. …
Let me start off by being completely honest – Garden In! is a difficult game to review without putting in significant time.

Epic Llama Games’ Unusual Findings is an 80s-calibre love letter straight to my chrome sci-fi heart, taking the form of a point ‘n click adventure. After the recent years of Stranger Things mania, it didn’t take long for a spoof to come onto the market. Naming conventions aside, there are only some loose comparisons to …
