The Corpse Party series is a bit confusing if you’re a newcomer. The first game in the series, originally launched in the mid-’90s, has been remade/re-released a ridiculous amount of times. There’s a sequel that isn’t a sequel but also is one (it’s literally called Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient). But now, what you need to know is the Heavenly…
Bossa Studios is perhaps best known for its platformer I Am Bread; according to Matt’s review, it’s a non-subtle homage to Kafka that lacks context and gameplay precision. The developer seems to have moved away from any sort of deep inspiration with its upcoming title announced today, Lost Skies. It’s…
Read MoreVideo game lovers have been obsessed over whether or not in-game dogs can be pet for years (in the upcoming Little Friends: Puppy Island, you can pet literally all of them!), but now it’s time for the dog to be the protagonist. Breeze in the Clouds is a 2D action…
Read MoreIt was announced months ago that PowerWash Simulator will be getting three paid DLC packs this year, but no specifics were given. Well, the first has been announced, and there’s a famous sea sponge behind it. A certain seas sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. That’s right:…
Read MoreAll a developer/publisher has to mention is that something is inspired by Stardew Valley, and I’ll be immediately drawn to it. Mirthwood is one of those titles, though it’s also inspired by Fable (love it!) and Rimworld (haven’t played it). It’s a captivating single-player game about an epic journey through…
Read MoreDeveloper Strange Scaffold has been busy! It already had two announced games in the works: El Paso, Elsewhere and Sunshine Shuffle (which launches next week). It’s also behind games such as An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs, Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, and SkateBird. Today, it announced another…
Read MoreWhen I first wrote about Little Friends: Puppy Island, I was surprised to learn it was actually a sequel to Little Friends: Dogs & Cats. This game focuses solely on dogs frolicking around an island paradise, with no cats in sight. (I’m a bit bummed there’s no cats, since I’m…
Read MoreAnimal rescue games have a special place in my heart, including Cat Café Manager, a cat/restaurant management sim. I haven’t had the chance to play To The Rescue! on PC yet, though (it launched a couple year ago) so I’m really excited to be able to write that the dog…
Read More“Roguelike” and “city builder” aren’t often mashed together into a single genre, but that’s what Dice Legacy does as a roguelike survival city builder where players lead their realm by rolling dice. Harvard quite liked the original launch of Dice Legacy (his review here), and since then there have been…
Read MoreSometimes I put my foot in my mouth, and have to admit that I’m wrong. Now is one of those times. Just yesterday, in the catch-up, I was musing over whether or not Layers of Fear would be delayed since it was due out in June but there was no…
Read MorePanic is a publisher that I trust: it is the published that helped release iconic games Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game. Panic is also the company behind Playdate, that little yellow handheld console with a crank on the side. So when Playdate decides to publish something, it’s worth taking note.…
