Werewolf game-style social deduction adventure game Yokai Landlord: Monster Mystery! puts players in the shoes of the landlord of an apartment, trying to uncover the Yokai among your residents. The title is more than a mystery game; it is also described as “a heartwarming tale of character growth.” It fully launched for PC last April, and it is now set…
First up in a busy day of showcases is Future of Play! It will feature over 30 new indie games, launch announcements, trailer reveals, and more. It’s wonderful to have showcases dedicated entirely to indies, despite what the live comments on YouTube might say.…
Read MoreThe Tribeca Games Spotlight is one of the few (if any) showcases with no reveals or surprises. Rather, it announces the games in advance and then spends its time taking a good long look at each title. Last year’s was great, as it included Immortality. There are seven games in…
Read MoreThis is the first annual Access-Ability Summer Showcase. I was pleasantly surprised to even hear that it existed, and in all honesty I’m honoured to cover such a strong selection of current and upcoming titles. While I wish I could give full coverage to every game mentioned, I honestly just…
Read MoreShadows of the Damned is pure grindhouse. Originally released way back in 2011, the game follows the story of Garcia, a motorcycle-riding tough guy, as he descends into hell to rescue his lingerie-clad true love from an army of demons. Armed with Johnson (a talking skull-gun ally and, yes, the…
Read MoreDevolver Digital is back and weirder than ever. This Direct’s story revolves around a (fake) mascot named Volvy, and it’s 2.0 evolution that makes up games as people suggests them. It’s honestly so bizarre, you just have to see it. I’ll be covering each of the four featured games, as…
Read MoreFor most, Summer Game Fest was the big event of the day. I watched it, but didn’t even bother covering it as a whole: there were like two things I was interested in. But following that is Day of the Devs, which is far more focused on artistic indie games…
Read MoreIt’s the second highlight article of the day, this time focusing on what came immediately after the Guerrilla Collective Showcase – its Publisher Spotlights. This showcase focuses on upcoming games from three indie game publishers: Freedom Games, Hype Train, and Tiny Build. As always, I’m here with highlights for you,…
Read MoreIt’s the beginning of 2023’s biggest week of western gaming news. I’m still calling it Not-E3, just because there’s no better term for it yet. Up first is Guerrilla Collective’s 2023 showcase. I’ll be highlighting the best featured games, while also providing a full list of titles mentioned and the…
Read MoreIt’s Not E3 time once again! To say that this week will be fluffernutters is an understatement. The showcases basically seem endless when looking at it from this side. I’m keeping my eye on all of them, and will be sure to recap and share highlights as things happen. Basically,…
Read MoreGame music is something that I admittedly take for granted. It always just is. Every now and then, though, a game’s soundtrack really stands out and enhances the game’s experience. Spiritfarer comes to mind, there. But video game music is often not associated with high-class orchestras, or live music altogether.…
