Developer Shotgun with Glitters describe The Padre as “a corrupted fairytale set in the 1910’s”. While a smattering of literary horror influences can be dredged up from The Padre‘s darkest corners, my time spent with the Alpha demo was less a ghost story, more a…
Way back in the forgotten days of the year 2013, Taitale Studios launched a Kickstarter for their massive MMORTS, Novus AEterno. The devs were asking for $200,000, but despite interest from the community they were nowhere near achieving their goal. Fortunately, as time ticked down…
It’s a great time in gaming for feel-good Armageddon scenarios. The Cede Kickstarter launched recently, giving green-thumbed gamers the chance to bring beautiful blooms to a gloomy doomsday. Now, with the gorgeously cell-shaded Flotsam, catastrophic floods have never looked quite so inviting. Let’s dive in, shall…
Post-apocalyptic worlds are gloomy places. I understand everything you’ve ever loved has been reduced to a puddle of goo, but maybe if you spent more time repairing society and a bit less moaning about the mutants chewing your face off, you might feel better. There’s…

One-hundred-and-sixty. That’s how many times I have died to date. As a cartoon mercenary working for the devil himself, it is up to me to collect the souls of the living, and let me tell you, they have no interest in passing on. I jump,…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild served a staggering reminder: it was the most open-world Zelda game since the original. Everything in between, while not without opportunities to explore, had a linear order in terms of dungeons and major events. Cue The Untold…

When it was first announced earlier this year in March 2017, The Occupation immediately had me intrigued. With its 1980’s spy thriller plot, player-driven narrative, and promise of a real-time ticking clock, how could you not be? Unfortunately, the game has flown drastically under everyone’s…
I’m here to say that The Voxel Agents’ The Gardens Between has flown under Cliqist’s radar for far too long. First announced years ago on the developer’s website, The Gardens Between was featured at Indie Megabooth at PAX East and at PAX Australia. A trailer…
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the most content with death – in fact, I’m terrified. Mortified. When I was recommended A Mortician’s Tale, the description stated it was a “death positive” game, which immediately intrigued me. My first thought was that…
