Have you ever wondered what life is like inside the world of public restroom signage? No, of course you haven’t. Who would ever bother to consider something as mundane as life stories of the humanoid symbols on bathroom doors? As it turns out, Skookum-Arts would…
Most RPGs attempt to account for player agency. Allowing the player to make little decisions along the way as the story unfolds. Great RPGs even reward players with logical consequences for their choices. Sometimes, a player’s choices are even the driving force of the story….
I am a firm believer that dreams can be prophetic, or perhaps hold some truth to the waking world. For this reason, I decided to take a close look at Lucid. However, I’m not quite sure what to make of it. From my understanding, it’s…
Sometimes, a title tells you everything you need to know about a game. Chainsaw Ninja in Space is about exactly that: a ninja in space that wields a chainsaw. Not the quietest weapon for a ninja to use, but it gets the job done. Chainsaw…

I’ll admit I’m not particularly fond of farming sims. However, I do enjoy a good shopkeeping game like Recettear. Lullaby Gardens is a sort of hybrid between the two and I have to say I rather like where this one is heading. Even the farming…
The gorgeous pixel art of roguelike RPG UnDungeon may be what initially attracts the attention, but it’s the high-concept craziness behind it that seems to be drawing backers in. Seven parallel worlds have catastrophically been merged together, creating unique landscapes to explore. In fact the…
There has been a resurgence as of late of open-world survival sandbox games. The formula usually puts the player in the role of an outsider, suddenly stranded or trapped in an inhospitable environment. They must adapt quickly to survive harsh weather and indigenous species. Now…
2D platformers are all the rage these days, and nowhere is that more apparent than on Kickstarter. WayForward’s latest genie simulator Shantae Half Genie Hero is one of many examples. Others such as Shovel Knight, Freedom Planet, and Bloodstained are still only the tip of…
