I’ve probably spent more time thinking about cryptids that your average person; I’m obsessed with Mothman (and was very excited to play Mothmen 1966, a new take on the infamous legend), and I’ve seen numerous shows on things like Bigfoot, faeries, etc. I’m no expert by any means, but curious…

When someone talks about FMV games (which doesn’t happen nearly enough in my day-to-day life), one of the first things that comes to mind is Wales Interactive.

Delays aren’t ever fun, we get it! But as frustrating as it may seem in the short term, there’s usually a salient reason behind these dreaded postponements. Mika and the Witch’s Mountain is a charming-looking little thing that you’ll need to wait a little longer for, but it looks like…
