The backstory behind first person horror game Allison Road is a long and winding one, almost as tortuous as that pun. It was a spiritual successor to P.T., which was a playable teaser (hence the name) of Hideo Kojima led Silent Hills. Hideo Kojima is…

So, for those who read my previous piece on Fabular: Once Upon a Space Time, you’d know that this isn’t your standard SHMUP entrant. Lately, Kickstarter has seen a smattering (perhaps a revival?) of roguelikes, platformers and artbooks, but what about the genre that helped…
Imagine finding a lost phone. For some reason, it doesn’t have an elaborate locking pattern/weird security contraption on it. Instead, there’s a whole bunch of personal messages and images laid out, waiting to be glanced upon by total strangers. What do you do? Chances are, if you’re like…
I like first person shooters, but for the most part I tend to focus on single player campaigns when they’re offered. I’ve only ever tried my hand online in a couple games and even then they had to have something worth playing for beyond partaking…
The last couple of weeks, Cliqist has been upping its coverage on tactical RPG City of the Shroud, which been very successful on Kickstarter. Why City of the Shroud, you ask? What makes it any different than the gazillion other RPGs pushing and shoving one another…
There’s a saying. You can’t keep a good man down. Or something to that effect. And in the case of the horror-themed adventure game Song of Horror this is most certainly true. After two failed Kickstarter attempts Protocol Games has managed to secure outside funding…
I love adventures and I love adventures that don’t take themselves particularly seriously. Which is why I didn’t hesitate to back Demetrios when it ran on Kickstarter. I even gave the demo a spin to get a feel for how it’ll play. Frankly, I’m not…
It’s hard to type with all this protective gear on, but I find it necessary. This article will be about a Kickstarter involving Leigh Alexander, Zoe Quinn, Maddy Myers, and Kathrine Cross. … …. ….. Is everyone done shouting now? Good, I’ll just take this…
If there’s a shortage of any genre in the indie gaming scene, it certainly isn’t present in either rouge-likes or first person horror. If you want to make one of those games, you have to do something to stand out. And sticking the word “Simulator”…
I don’t think Earthbound/Mother 2 needs much of an intro, but if you need it, it’s a Super Nintendo RPG set in modern times with an unhealthy dose of pop culture references and humor that’s got quite the cult following. The series isn’t very long, but…
[dropcap size=big]E[/dropcap]dge of Eternity has had no trouble at all in reaching its 44k goal, and with a month to spare no less. But back in 2013, Midgar Studio had trouble funding the JRPG, and was forced to cancel the project with just $26k pledged of…
On December 16th the Kickstarter for Glorious Leader! launched. Developed by Moneyhorse Games, this is a title which had actually been in the limelight much earlier in 2014 – although they failed to pursue funding at that time. Instead, their campaign went live after events…
Stalker Apocalypse Update. North Korea, Spying, and Expulsion. by Ahmad Khan West Games is back to their same old tricks again, but this time they are aggravating more than just Stalker fans and crowdfunding enthusiasts. Here’s a quick recap of what the fine folks at…
Seasoned Tactics is a new Kickstarter campaign by Manic North with an interesting premise. In this game, the four seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) must battle each other for seasonal supremacy. Funnily enough, they don’t actually get their own hands dirty. Instead, these magical summoners…
Hi there! Remember me? Nathaniel? No? Cool. I’ve been dead for awhile, but in the spirit of Halloween, I’ve risen from the dead to write a spoopy-scary article about a game that recently caught my eye. Oh how did it ever catch my eye. The…
