I love it when an unsuccessfully funded project returns to crowdfunding for another attempt. It’s always disheartening to see one you’ve backed fall far from the mark, but with Stardrop, Joure Visser is trying again to get money from fans. The first attempt left a…

It should be painfully apparent by now that I’m a fan of adventure games. I’m especially partial towards the Sierra On-Line style of play. So it should come as to no surprise that I’ll take a look at a game inspired by these titles. Enter…

I’m a huge fan of gender bender games. Recently I’ve been enjoying each update for Max’s Big Bust, an interesting take on the genre by Lached Up Games. I’ve gotten to know Lach since the previous Kickstarter, so it should come as to no surprise…

When it comes to comedic adventure games, the stranger the better. If you toss in a heaping dose of Monty Python-like silliness you’re sure to have a great experience. With Lancelot’s Hangover, the pitch showed a lot of promise. The beta build at the time was…

I’m usually not one to be excited about party games, whether tabletop or digital. With Soviet Humour, though, I find myself strangely attracted to the zaniness it offers. In a similar vein to card game Cards Against Humanity, this one lets you play with words…

I’m a big sucker for weird games, and the more surreal and strange the better. Two years ago, a post apocalyptic comedy adventure caught my eye on Kickstarter and I couldn’t back it fast enough. Paradigm was pretty much everything I wanted in one crazy…

I love a good science fiction comedy story. They’re two genres that work well together, and I’ve yet to be disappointed in a game I’ve played. In fact, my favorite adventure game series is Space Quest, which should tell you the kind of tale I…
