You might remember Hollow Knight – a gorgeous 2D action adventure that was backed on Kickstarter almost a year ago. Well, there’s both good and (somewhat) bad news. Starting off on the positive side of things, a new trailer for the game was released. As…
The indie game developing and publishing folks over at Team17 have released a snazzy hype video to showcase their 2016 lineup. The idea behind the video is to get people excited for the upcoming year and the abundance of seemingly great games the team will be…
It’s the worst kept secret that I love playing collectible card games, so when Labyrinth appeared on Kickstarter I had to check it out. I’ve enjoyed reading what they’ve revealed so far but what I really wanted was to sink my proverbial teeth into the…
The second alpha build for the “gender bender” visual novel Max’s Big Bust has just been sent off to backers at the alpha level and higher. The game also has just hit Steam’s Early Access platform as well, for those that care. Anyway, I took…

Hope Chapman of developer PangoDango Games has, after several months of silence, posted an update on the progress of visual novel title Lovely Little Thieves. Along with apologising for the lack of updates since July the update included a revised release schedule pushing the final…

Despite not being a fan of Metroidvania style games the basic plot for Dark Flame was enough to make me at least interested in seeing exactly how the game played out. Thankfully, they provided a demo so that those like me who are on the…
