[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t’s not too often that Kickstarter is used to fund an all-out AAA experience, and when such a thing does come to pass, it’s a pretty magical thing. There’s just something about being a direct part of a AAA studio’s path to making a gorgeous,…
Fans of Contagion, the upcoming Survival-Horror title coming to us from MonochromeLLC, have already been enjoying the title’s Steam-released Early Access, but the full game has yet to be released. We do, however, have a final release date for Contagion, and it’s much sooner than…

The Struggle Of An AI Another View Of The Fall [divider] AI initialization activated. Jack isn’t moving, he’s rendered unconscious. It must’ve been one harsh, fierce fall to knock him out. Going over his current condition, it’s rather unlikely he will awaken anytime soon. I’ll get…
