Back in December, during GaymerX, I had the pleasure of meeting Stuart Bradley Newsom as he was showing off an interesting looking first person horror adventure called Shadow Over Isolation. He had me sold at Lovecraft inspired and I was hoping to get the chance…
The Seed really has had a rough time during the course of its development. It was due out in 2014 but didn’t hit that target, but kept working. If nothing else The Seed is an example of the tenacity of developers on Kickstarter. Despite overshooting…
If you’re on this site you have doubtlessly read about countless quality games that have received funding through Kickstarter and similar mediums. But for every great game that has come out of Kickstarter there’s a few not-so-great ones. There are disappointments and games that never…
I love adventures and I love adventures that don’t take themselves particularly seriously. Which is why I didn’t hesitate to back Demetrios when it ran on Kickstarter. I even gave the demo a spin to get a feel for how it’ll play. Frankly, I’m not…
Creepy Road is one of those games that just brings back old memories of mindless run and gun classics involving nothing but reflex, skill and a ton of explosions. Contra, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe – those are probably the titles that spring to most…
The latest update for Overload, the spiritual successor to Descent from developer Revival Productions, provides an unexpected surprise – all backers of at least $25 will receive a Steam code for Inferno 2 within a week of the Overload Kickstarter ending. A twin-stick shooter, Inferno…

Children of Morta, described as “everything you have seen in roguelike retro-games if it was turbo-charged and kicked up ten notches,” by our very own Ahmad Khan, just got two new gameplay trailers. Two new children, you could say, if you were desperately thinking of…
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from The Flame in the Flood‘s trailers, it’s that things can always take a turn for the worse. This is certainly true for the game’s latest video which showcases a few essential rafting tips survivors must keep in mind during…
The Video Games Live Level 5 game music album’s Kickstarter is less than a day old as of this writing and well over 60% funded, with 49 days left to go. For those who’ve never heard of the CD and concert series, Video Games Live is…
I love a good game that takes a unique idea and runs with it. And The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti looks to be a surreal classic in the making for fans of adventure games. Just the few screenshots and trailer that I saw have me sold,…
For those who have been following tradable card game Nova Blitz know that the game has been shaping up nicely. Go ahead and check out my look at the previous build that was released for the Kickstarter if you’re still not sold. Anyway, as of…
