During the 2017 Game Awards Firewatch developer Campo Santo announced their next game, In the Valley of Gods, due out in 2019. A short trailer revealed that the game is set in Egypt, and you play a camera woman exploring ancient pyramids A follow-up statement…
Seven: The Days Long Gone, is at first glance, an unassuming game. It has a silly name, but it otherwise looks like a solid CRPG. Behind its simple facade are its developers – IMGN.PRO, responsible for the excellent horror game Kholat, and Fool’s Theory –…
It was Summer 2016, and I had just finished Gone Home, a story-rich walking simulator set in the mid 90’s. You play as Kaitlin Greenbriar, a young woman who has just come home from her trip abroad in Europe. After going into the title with…
If there’s two things I hate in the gaming industry today that everyone else loves, it’s Bethesda and nostalgia. Bethesda has a long record of suing indie developers over spurious copyright claims while pretending to be the victim. Meanwhile they’ve been ruining Fallout and The…
Kickstarter just isn’t what it used to be. Not only are fewer people donating less money, but fewer game developers are launching quality campaigns. When it first became popular, the idea of crowdfunding seemed like it was going to revolutionize the game industry. For a…

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…
After a fairly dismal Kickstarter attempt in November 2015 there was more bad news for the developers of Sociable Soccer when its October 12th launch on Steam Early Access suffered a last minute-delay. However that turned out to only be a temporary setback as the…
You may want to take a seat before reading this next sentence, maybe get a glass of water or take a deep breath. Unbox (the console version is called Unbox: Newbie’s Adventure) is a modern day 3D platformer that isn’t trying to model itself off…
The term “permadeath” is a bit of a red flag for me. Nothing makes me run faster from an otherwise intriguing game, other than maybe zombies or overly simplistic pixel art, than seeing that term tagged on a game in Steam. Or simulators, those usually…
Game Director, Fabio Consorti and the team at Mnemosyne Games have dedicated their time, energy, and personal finances towards the development of their dark gothic, action platformer, Demoniaca. Behind their scrappy determination however, there are hints of trouble brewing for the project. The release of…
This may be hard for some to remember, but back in the day games had to rely on their stories and mechanics over cutting-edge graphics. Granted, this was mostly due to the graphic limitations of the time. Still, even as technology has evolved our love…
Everything can change anything at any time. That’s what you typically hear from the social media sphere whenever something new is introduced, especially in the tech field. Sometimes it plays out exactly that way, like the iPhone. But most of the time our grand proclamations…
