Review by Lindsay M. I’m not sure anyone expected the wild success of Little Nightmares. The horror puzzle-platformer launched in 2017, and has since had great critical success and player reviews.

Review by Matt S. While the roguelike genre is well overplayed at this point, enjoyable examples of the genre do deserve to be noted as such. Curse of the Dead Gods is an enjoyable roguelike, but being too stylistically similar to last year’s breakout super-hit, Hades, won’t help its cause,…

Article by Matt S. There’s no point in reviewing Capcom Arcade Stadium, since you can download it for free for yourself, and it comes with a free game. Play that, and if you like the quality of the emulation and the features (you should, they’re excellent) you can subsequently buy…

News by Matt S. I don’t follow mobile gaming that closely these days, so I don’t know what kind of reputation Pascal’s Wager has, but this previously exclusive game to iOS and Android is getting a release on PC as Pascal’s Wager: Definitive Edition, and it does look good. It…

Interview by Matt S. Sometimes a visual novel sticks out with some real promise behind it. Black Heaven: A Necromantic Dating Sim is one such game. Right now there isn’t too much to it – the developer, Occult Triangle Lab, has dropped a demo on itch.io as the team gears…

News by Matt S. One of the better voices for indie games (especially the micro-indies), Playism, is shuttering its online store, costing those indies one of the better opportunities that they had to get some real visibility in an increasingly difficult digital marketplace. According to a note on the Playism…

List by Matt S.. I’m a big fan of itch.io for the freedom and open platform that it allows for developers to be creative, experimental, and directly canvas the audience for feedback for games that are not yet ready for primetime on Steam and its ilk. In addition, itch.io allows…
