‘Sepulchre’ is a Middle English term representing what is now known as a tomb or crypt. It is also the name of a free horror game for PC released in 2003, or what is now the second of three chapters in The Charnel House Trilogy. I love horror games as…
Read MorePuuba’s The Weaponographist is apparently the answer to what if the original Legend of Zelda was fused with Smash T.V., with a bit of The Binding of Isaac and added anachronism for good measure. Utilising a simple premise, lightweight gameplay, and balanced challenge, The Weaponographist certainly is different from its…
Read MoreAbout an hour into my time with Quarries of Scred, I decided to look at the game’s stats page and see what my progress has been like. To my surprise, sixty minutes into the game I had made one hundred attempts into the game’s randomly generated mines. Published by Surprise…

In this case, the game pays homage to the classic Dungeon Keeper series from EA. What started out as a fan-made sequel after EA cancelled the development of Dungeon Keeper 3: War for…
Read MoreConvoy is one of those games that’s not entirely unique – it’s been defined as a mix between Mad Max and FTL: Faster Than Light since its Kickstarter inception – and on the surface level it could easily be passed off as another ‘clone’; yet, in doing so, you would…
Read MoreCommander Cool 2 is a run and gun platformer by German studio Orlyapps, featuring a time travelling protagonist and a colourful cartoon world. It’s also, unfortunately, devoid of anything to set it apart from any other platformer available on PC. While the game itself is perfectly functional, the mechanics and…
