If it’s not apparent by now, I love adventure games. Especially point -and -click titles that have an interesting story. If it has some unique or quirky gameplay feature, I’m all the more for it. In the case of Mystery of Woolley Mountain, it certainly…
Let’s face it, most of us didn’t end up working in our first career choice. I still maintain that I would have made an amazing unicorn veterinarian. Perhaps you had a more realistic goal? Something in the public sector? Good news, there might still be hope…
Good news NES fans – the Unofficial NES/Famicom Visual Compendium is live again after creator Sam Dyer of Bitmap Books settled the copyright claim that Nintendo had filed against his Kickstarter project. The campaign had been frozen on 30th June 2016 with only 23 hours to…
Crowdfunding has opened the floodgates for creatives to bring new and exciting ideas to the world. This is awesome. The rise of indie developers, self-published authors, and artists is a welcome sign of the times. Unfortunately, some people want to jump right in and start…
There are a lot of crowdfunding campaigns. Just in the games department, there are more campaigns than even we at Cliqist can cover and that’s our whole shtick. Many games get left at the wayside, usually for good reason, but every once in awhile there’s a…
Guess who’s back on Kickstarter? If you answered AJ Tilley then give yourself a gold star and a pat on the back. About a week ago, the Echo Tokyo campaign I had previously covered was canceled, only to be met with a new one practically…
Imagine a game that tries to boil down the core essence of Papers, Please, sprinkles on top the interrogation mechanics of L.A. Noire, and then stirs it all together with a big, meaty spoon of Phoenix Wright. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Roman Loznevoy thought so…
If Portal taught me two things, they were to never trust free cake and that it’s entirely possible to form an emotional attachment to an inanimate cube. I didn’t think that that second life lesson would ever come up again until I saw Perso. A puzzle…
Playing with friends is fun. Playing alone is realistic. But when a game gives you the option to do both, you can at least buy it with the hope that someday you won’t have to do the latter. Heavily inspired by The Lost Vikings of…
With the wave of E3 finally behind us and everything in the gaming world returned to its usual ebb and flow, it’s good to see developers coming out of it stronger than ever. ROCKFISH Games, the German-based developers behind successful mobile space shooter Galaxy on…
For adventure game fans, 2012 was the year the genre started to make a comeback in full force. Alongside “big name” projects, we saw many small teams throw their proverbial hats into the ring, including Infamous Quests with their first commercial outing, Quest for Infamy. It has…
Best Buds vs Bad Guys is a run ‘n’ gun shoot ‘em up currently being developed by Richard Hill-Whitall and his eleven-year-old son, Lucas. With the help of Claire Hill-Whittall, who is in charge of business and marketing, and Steve Howard, the “coding genius” behind…
I’m not sure how other people feel about buzzwords, but I find them to be vapid, usually with the intent of distraction. This is one of the reasons I stopped paying attention to the large gaming expos like PAX and E3. Game reveals that could…
When Learn Japanese To Survive: Hiragana Battle first hit Kickstarter back in 2015, I was blown away by the potential. Finally, there was a game that understood that the reason most people wanted to learn Japanese was to exclusively weeb out. The notion of creating…
Most people, at some point will probably feel like their boss is trying to kill them. Hopefully very few employers actually have this as a goal. However, in Office Suicide Saga, you take the role of a horrible boss, trying to kill employees in his pursuit of money. The aptly…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. (blank) is “a 2D procedurally generated roguelike with item crafting, dungeon looting, and a challenging combat system.” This is the opening sales pitch to Underworld Dungeon, the first Kickstarter from burgeoning developer Inferno Soul.
