One of the more compelling adventure games going through crowdfunding at the moment is the cute and family friendly Nairi. The adorable characters, challenging puzzles, and social structure of Shirin all add to the charm of the game. I spoke with the developers at Home Bear…
When it comes to horror, there’s few things I shy away from. In fact, a large chunk of my media intake has been squarely focused on horror content for as long as I can remember. That’s not to say nothing ever manages to scare me…
Elegy for a Dead World, from Dejobaan Games and Popcannibal, has a special place in my heart. After all, it was the first Kickstarter project I ever backed. So two years after the game was released it was a pleasant surprise to see a new…
Back in 2013, Failbetter Games crushed their Kickstarter goal to the tune of £100,803, funding Sunless Sea. Now, they have finally fulfilled their last promise to backers with the release of their first DLC, Zubmariner. For the first time, players will get a peak beneath…
How have we not done Iron Tides sooner? Because other games have come up that I wanted to cover. But! That shouldn’t turn you away from this incredible looking turn-based/exploration game from developer Crash Wave Games. Iron Tides is a genre mash-up of survival, exploration,…
Bud Spencer and Terence Hill are two filmmakers from the 70’s and 80’s, who starred together in such films as They Call me Trinity, Trinity is Still My Name, and My Name is Nobody. It’s hard to say just how famous they are, I’ve never…
What would you get if you mixed a cute 2D mascot platformer with Metal Gear Solid? Probably something resembling Nyx the Chameleon by MoonRift Entertainment, who are seeking $10,000 to finish the game. It bills itself as a “stealth/action/platforming side-scroller,” platformer with a classic 90’s-esque…
At first glance you might mistake Space Wars: Interstellar Empires for just another 4X space game. Or perhaps those flashy-looking graphics had you expecting a space-combat sim? Either way you’d be wrong. What you’re actually seeing is a series of old-school, turn-based battles which themselves are…
We’ve been making a fuss over Tiny Bull Studio’s gamebook styled RPG, Omen Exitio: Plague, going so far as to award it Cliqist’s coveted Game of the Week status. Now it looks like everyone will finally get the chance to see what all the fuss…
Crowdfunded survival sim, The Long Dark is about to get even darker. Hinterland Studio announced their first in-game Halloween event, Four Days of Night. Beginning on Friday, October 28th at 10am PDT the sun will not rise in-game. Instead players must endure four days of perpetual…
Tired of listlessly watching yet another reality TV show about ghost hunters who jump at shadows, despite never being in real danger? Have you ever watched some newbie intern fumble their chance with the EKG reader and think, “I would be so much better at that?”…
Horror adventure games are popular amongst both communities, particularly those that enjoy a good scare without twitchy reflexes. Crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter have had a good number successfully funded, and several have already been released. Unfortunately, there are still a handful unaccounted for. Let’s take…
Do you know what’s never cute? Cannibalism. Yet that’s exactly the tone Tan Qi Rong is going for with MeatPossible. Just look at the icon art: a pig with a piece of bacon wrapped around its nose. It’s horrifying, it’s disgusting, yet it’s also absolutely…
Cars have four wheels and occasionally star in terrible movies. That’s about the extent of most of the Cliqist staff’s knowledge of cars. We like to think we know a good racing game when we see it though, and Apex Racing League is a good’un….
The Eyes of Ara received $17,170 AUD on Kickstarter back in July of 2015. Not only did this gorgeous puzzle adventure release on time, just one year later, but it just revealed a special Halloween surprise for players. Developer, 100 Stones Interactive, a one-man studio, has continued posting…
