If it’s not apparent by now, I love adventure games. Especially point -and -click titles that have an interesting story. If it has some unique or quirky gameplay feature, I’m all the more for it. In the case of Mystery of Woolley Mountain, it certainly…

Guess who’s back on Kickstarter? If you answered AJ Tilley then give yourself a gold star and a pat on the back. About a week ago, the Echo Tokyo campaign I had previously covered was canceled, only to be met with a new one practically…

For adventure game fans, 2012 was the year the genre started to make a comeback in full force. Alongside “big name” projects, we saw many small teams throw their proverbial hats into the ring, including Infamous Quests with their first commercial outing, Quest for Infamy. It has…

I had planned to make a bad joke here but instead I’ll refrain from making a pig out of myself. I want to be a bacon of professionalism, after all. The last thing I want to do is pork fun at a game like Pigsodus….

When it comes to romantic visual novels you usually think of a guy (or girl) actively trying to woo someone of the opposite (or same) sex. So it’s a bit of breath of fresh air that Talk to Me tries to buck these trends with…

I’m all for games with interesting concepts and gameplay but sometimes a title comes around that might be trying to do too much in one go. While I love the idea behind Serment – Contract With a Devil they’re also promising a lot of different…

It’s starting to become a regular thing to see AJ Tilley in some form running a campaign on Kickstarter under some name or another. I’m not even sure how many accounts he and Dharker Studio have used over the past few years, but it certainly…

Before I start with why Discarded Angel isn’t worth the digital paper it’s being written on I want to state for the record that I have absolutely no problem with playing an adult themed game. You really should check out my Hentai collection. I’m certainly…

While I love pretty much any kind of adventure game, especially if it tells a story that I’m interested in, sometimes a title comes along that has a unique gameplay element that makes me take notice. In the case of Columnae, this is something they’re…
