[dropcap size=big]O[/dropcap]nce in a while you come across a video game project and you scratch you head thinking “what in heaven’s name is this? Is this a visual-novel? A sandbox? Is it really a video-game at all?” That’s the feeling I got when I checked…
Games about the police come in many shapes and sizes, but lately most seem to be of the FPS persuasion. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that but some folks out there are looking for more strategic and thoughtful titles. This Is the Police, which is…
Before even launching Disorder for the first time it left an impression on me. “Why is it named Disorder?” I found myself asking while looking at its store page. Of course, having since beaten the game it has a much stronger effect now. In its…
We here at Cliqist love crowdfunded games, but we are gamers just like you guys, and that means we play, well, everything. The “Not Crowdfunded, But…” series will be a regular dose of non-crowdfunded magic from us to you, covering everything from the latest Gears of…
[dropcap size=big]M[/dropcap]any wonder what constitutes a video game. The discussion is complicated, wrestling with such issues as planned and emergent narrative, reward and punishment, complexity and simplicity, etc. Here on Cliqist, however, I’d like to focus on experimental games and their place in the crowdfunding…

[dropcap size=big]I[/dropcap]f you’ve been keeping an eye on Kickstarter for the past few years then perhaps Crystal Catacombs is a familiar name to you. It was way back in 2011 when developer Maxwell Jensen tried, but ultimately failed, to raise funds for the game. Of…
Blackwood Manor is a place which was once filled with the Blackwood family conducting their mad and magical experiments. One of the family members, Abigail, died some 40 years ago. However, for reasons unknown she has risen again as a spirit. By now it appears…
Here’s something that we don’t actually see funded a whole lot via Kickstarter – First person shooters. For whatever reason this incredibly popular genre hasn’t yet taken hold on crowdfunding sites. Perhaps STRAFE will be the one to usher them into the fold. This FPS…
