I thought Twitch couldn’t get crazier after watching a couple of fish playing Street Fighter against each other. It turns out I was wrong, because now we’re about to witness a game made exclusively for streamers. Made by a team led by popular YouTuber creator Criken, I.C.U. is an “interactive horror game show”, which managed to…
I love a game with a unique look and style. I love it even more if it’s in a genre that I enjoy playing. In the case of Backdrop, it looks like a sort of hybrid between adventure game and RPG, both styles of play…
Before I say anything else, I want to state for the record I like strange games. Unfortunately, if a game is being touted as a bizarre tale I need to know a bit about the plot. In Sally Face, outside of the main character having a…
I love goats. No, not in that way. There’s just something I like about them. Anyway, when I see a game featuring our cloven pals I have to take a close look at it. In the case of When Goats Join Cults, it’s as strange…
If you’ve been around the gaming section of Kickstarter for a while now, odds are that you’ve stumbled across Camelot Unchained at some point. The game collected over two million dollars worth of donations with nearly fifteen thousand backers. This is a pretty incredible feat…
Remember the old days, when games didn’t grind the action to a halt to show you a half-baked 15-minute cutscene about why the main character needs to Shoot the Bad Guys? Ruckert Broductions hopes to bring you back to those days with Redie (pronounced “re-die”,…
It would be easy to overlook the Kickstarter campaign for Lost in Vivo. The page consists primarily of a brief trailer and a link to the demo download. There’s none of the usual funding breakdowns, concept art, or screen shots you typically see in successful crowdfunding….
Fans of bleak monochromatic 2D platformers can start lining up for their next fix. At the Cage from Mental Studio takes cues from the aesthetics of Playdead’s Limbo and Inside and adds a splash of animal activism. Seeking $16,877 on Kickstarter, At the Cage is…
Our weekly dose of hot takes, occasionally well formed opinions, and fevered outbursts is back. Yup, it’s time for the Question of the Week! This week we’re talking about the unusual, and fairly murky, OTON X Kickstarter campaign. As you know by now, the OTON X is a video…
October is nearly upon us and that means all things spooky and scary will soon be taking center stage. What better way to get into the Halloween spirit than taking a trip to good old Camp Crystal Lake and slaughtering the hell out of some…
In an unusual move, forthcoming oldschool RPG Elysian Shadows has returned from silence with an announcement of a coming announcement. The full update will be in video form, and is slated for release next month. This comes after a nine-month silence without updates. A post from last December went…
Many recent indie games interpret retro inspiration exclusively as pixel art and chip tunes, so it’s nice to find one willing to modernize their presentation. Light Fairytale is a turn-based Japanese-style RPG that draws inspiration from classics like Final Fantasy 7 and Breath of Fire 5 without…
I grew up on text adventures. One of the first games I remember playing is Zork, and from that point on I fell in love with the genre. I’m also a big fan of hacker games. Code 7 manages to merge both together into what…
Put down the pitchforks and let me explain. Infinite Legacy, an open-world RPG where the player determines the story, was originally funded on Kickstarter in January 2015. What started as a fun side-project ended up raising $6,896 before growing and changing over 2 years in…
I’m a Steam user. I have over a thousand games in my library. I’m also a fan of DRM-free games. Thankfully, most crowdfunded games tend to offer a choice of one or the other to backers. Up until now, Duke Grabowski wasn’t an exception. Things…
I’m big into tabletop gaming. I’ve been roleplaying for about fifteen years now, and one title I’ve enjoyed was 7th Sea. I have fond memories of playing it, so it was a no-brainer to back the 2nd edition of the game. Fans now have an…
