I am a die-hard fan of dystopian tales in the vein of 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. That’s why I desperately want to like Anomie, a visual novel that takes some of the tropes that make this dark genre engaging and interesting. Unfortunately,…

MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria’s Kickstarter campaign is about to enter its home stretch and with that surfaces the potential of a late surge in funding. It’s currently sitting at $1,114,822 of its original $900,000 goal, inching it closer and closer to its second stretch goal…
In a recent episode of our award-winning* Crowdfunding Analysis Time series, we took a look at a seemingly forgotten 3D platformer called Lobodestroyo. Raising $43,832 by the end of the campaign in 2013, James Guy and his team at Left-Handed Games set to work on…
I’m pretty much obsessed with dystopian tales, no matter the medium or genre. There’s something about taking a dark and oppressive atmosphere and having some person or group of persons “raging against the machine”. Which is why I want to love Anomie, but there’s something…
Recently we posted an article detailing the return of InSomnia to Kickstarter. It was successfully funded back in July 2014 to the tune of $92,268 dollars. Now Studio MONO is back hoping to raise an additional $80,000 to finish production of their Fallout inspired RPG….
I am very impressed by the developers of Crossing Souls and their Kickstarter. You may remember that we covered this game back in 2014 when it was still looking for funding. What a time it has been since then! The latest update shows that this…
Little over a week ago, the survival horror game Phantasmal went live on Steam. Creator Joe Chang describes it as a horror game where no two play-throughs are the same, where every level is randomized and you can never fully rely on your previous experiences to…
We’ve talked about Seymour Butts, once called The Black Hound, before. We’ve tried to figure out the rationale behind this meltdown, if it wasn’t a prank from the beginning. In videos we examined what The Black Hound was before it became a punchline. That’s what…
Among countless others, there are three things that I love: adventure games, Lovecraftian horror, and comedy. Now, it really does sound like the three shouldn’t mix well but in the case of Gibbous this indeed the case. As soon as I saw it go live…
The bad news is things aren’t looking too good right now for the Lux Kickstarter campaign from Chimera Games. With just a few days to go before funding for the MMORPG ends, the game still has a long way to go, with less than half of the $200,000 requested being raised….
Bear Simulator is a highly-rated Kickstarter-funded FPB (First Person Bear) game created to bring bears into the gaming industry. As we all know, bears are a highly under-represented minority in the gaming industry. When they do appear they are objectified as enemies to be slaughtered…
‘Since before the beginning of time, a nameless Castle has been jumping through dimensions, ravishing whole worlds and abducting their inhabitants. Creatures great and small have been snatched from every conceivable place and put to work on random jobs within its walls. Now, a cloaked…
It’s far from a secret that I’m a huge fan of paladins and whenever I see a project featuring these devout followers of the light I have to check them out. In the case of Pale Spectrum this is a no-brainer, not just in the…
Last week marked the 30th edition of the Game Developers Conference (GDC), once again providing ample opportunity for devs to meet and discuss the latest trends and all the wizardry involved in the age-old craft of game development. Needless to say, with Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation…

There’s something almost cheeky about Outpost 13‘s latest update, which I absolutely adore, but for all the wrong reasons. Just read this: Spring Is Here!!! Thank you everyone for all your support through the 2015/2016 winter season! You’re awesome! Bad News: -Act 2 has been…
