I’ll be honest. Until now I had yet to see an RPG tackle film noir tropes. With Pixel Noir that’s changed and I decided to give the demo released for it a spin. And I have to say that the very little bit shown shows…
As a Kickstarter backer there are few things more annoying to me than a developer ditching their backers. Delays, broken promises, and cancellations don’t leave me awake at night since I understand that those things happen regardless of whether developers get their money from publishers,…
Fans of the Two Guys From Andromeda have just been treated to a pretty wordy update for the upcoming sci-fi comedy SpaceVenture. And, unfortunately, not all of it is good. This year has been rather hard on Scott Murphy, Mark Crowe, and Chris Pope which…
It was bound to happen. The Indiegogo campaign for the new console Retro VGS is being canceled. I knew that it was going to be a long shot to reach the nearly two million dollar mark that they set but after eleven days the fact…
I’ve got a confession to make. I hate clowns. They scare the living hell out of me. Which is why I didn’t back Dropsy when it ran on Kickstarter. However, I’ve heard good things about it and decided to put my fears to the side…
Back in the beginning of the year The Dark Inside Me, a point and click horror game, was crowdfunding on IndieGogo. It had 78 backers and 1,117 USD raised within a month. A trailer was released, a good handful of images were shown, and Akçay…
Home Free, the first Kickstarter project from Kevin Cancienne, is off to an amazing start. The campaign has only just launched and has already earned more than half of its $50,000 funding goal. Why? Because people love dogs, that’s why, and Home Free has them…
In my opinion, when developing a space game, there is a ton of room for creativity. Lord of Rigel seems like the kind of game that has extended imagination mixed in with a heavy dose of strategy. What caught my attention was the four specific…
I’ll freely admit it. Until several years ago I didn’t even know the universe of BattleTech existed. And while I’m still struggling to learn about the heaps of lore released over the past decades I have enjoyed getting to know the future history of the…
I’m a big film buff, and my cinema preferences tend to leach over into my gaming tastes. As a music lover, I gravitate towards a variety of genres, notably underground hip hop and 70’s psych-rock, but if you browse my music collection, you’ll find a…
Healing Process: Tokyo is an interactive storytelling adventure game funding on Kickstarter with RPG elements that brings the game to a more conceptual basis. From its old school pixel art form to the bright colours and in depth-story, Healing Process: Tokyo most definitely has some…
The recipe for my perfect game is one with story, adventure and something beautiful to play through. After reading all the info on Battle Chasers: Nightwar, I became entranced. It seems Airship Syndicate is cooking up something good for us, and from what we know…
I’ll admit that when I first heard of Undertale, I was intrigued. Pacifist play supported in a game with combat? Interesting! But then I saw the “retro” style graphics?” and thought, “Eh, probably garbage.” Now, I’m no graphics snob, but normally, I associate modern games…
Essence is a strange one. Imagine Skyrim’s world fused with Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture-esque gameplay, with a little touch of abstraction thrown in for good measure. That’s pretty much the gist. A walking simulator of sorts, one in which the environment is altered as…
If you’ve read any of my articles here on Cliqist, you’ll know I love point and click adventure games. Browse my Examiner write-ups, and you’ll discover that I have a soft spot for the sci-fi-horror subgenre. As such, I loved Stasis. Its artwork is something…
