Created by two former Sims developers, Petunia’s Purgatory is a cozy horror idle farming sim that sits at the bottom of your desktop. Grow crops, sacrifice critters, summon helpers to your cursed farm, and keep Petunia’s sanity in check before the game begins invading your desktop. The game will launch for PC in July. (Too bad it’s not for Mac;…
A demo for ReStory was released as part of this month’s Steam Next Fest today, but that’s not all! There’s a new trailer to celebrate the release, and a summer launch window was announced. ReStory puts you in the role of running your own electronics repair shop in Y2K-era Japan,…

I think I blinked and missed out on the announcement of Crymachina, which is a bummer because it looks quite good and I would have liked to write about it sooner! The “serenely dark” action RPG is about mechanical girls trying to survive a post-apocalyptic world and become “Real Humans.”…

It’s very rare that I get to write this, but the Nobunaga’s Ambition series is hitting 40 this year. That’s 40 years of Kou Shibusawa’s historical simulation franchise. 40! Very few game series that are still running are older than me, so that’s downright impressive. It’s also completely understandable, as…

Monster collecting games are a dime a dozen; it seems like a good chunk of developers are trying to make the next Pokémon. Cassette Beasts (which I first learned about during last’s year Guerilla Collective 3 Showcase) is another monster collecting title, but it sets itself apart with the use…

I’ve written about Volcano Princess before: back in November, its release date was set for early February 2023. That date came and went, sadly with no Volcano Princess. But I’m here with some good news! A new release date has been announced for the parenting simulator RPG, and it’s not…

When I write about Yoko Taro, it’s generally centred around the NieR games. Considering DDNet’s editor-in-chief, Matt, considers the second game (NieR:Automata) to be the greatest game ever made, how could I not make that connection at every opportunity? This may be news to some, but Yoko Taro has also…

Sorry folks, I know I’m a bit late on this news – it’s been a day! Compile Heart has announced the latest Neptunia spin-off, Neptunia GameMaker R:Evolution, through Weekly Famitsu. It also released a good amount of information about the game, including a trailer, which it is described as an…

Did you know there’s a free-to-play Octopath Traveler game on mobile devices? It’s a prequel to Octopath Traveler, which is quite a good game (series). Square Enix tends to do this with its properties; there is also a couple F2P Final Fantasy games. These mobile JRPGs actually aren’t that bad,…

Organs Please is a satirical management sim where players take control of a recycling factory… that recycles humans. Eep! Decide who escapes a dying planet in a cozy spaceship, as well as who to sacrifice for the sake of humanity. If the name seems familiar, you’re not wrong: it’s spoofing…
