Video by Harvard L. This week, as part of his ongoing series of Let’s Plays, Harvard takes a look at two indie darlings – Thirty Flights of Loving, and Virginia. As usual he takes a look at what makes these games distinct and interesting, and well worth a look in…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Cherrymochi is a Japanese development company with a unique distinction – most of the team are westerners, drawn from the UK, Europe and America, but all of them have extensive experience living and working in Japan. It’s rare that a game can be truly Japanese –…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I think we’ve hit the point where we can call the Corpse Party series a massive missed opportunity. What has been created within it has been great, true Japanese horror, but as time has worn on, the poor management of the property thanks to its dōjin…
Read MoreVideo by Harvard L. Kingsway is an odd little game, but a very creative one indeed. It’s an RPG in which you play through an operating system. Enemies are pop-ups, quests are emails.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. City builders – or similarly-themed “builder” simulators – are a favourite genre of mine, but only when a developer gets them right.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Silk is what happens when a independent developer has a wildly ambitious idea, and the gonads to actually make it. Silk proudly proclaims that it is “50 times larger than Daggerfall!” and offers “three million square miles of uncharted terrain” to explore. That sounds impressive –…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Simogo’s Sayonara Wild Hearts is a game which I can’t stop thinking about. On the surface it’s simple enough to enjoy – a music-based arcade game with pared-back mechanics suited well to short bursts, a dazzling graphic style of pinks and purples and a swathe of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. You’ve got to hand it to the development team behind Dead or School. Despite the Indiegogo campaign to fund the game failing spectacularly back in 2016, the small team has persevered and managed to get the thing over the line. It’s not bad, either. Dead or…
