Hand-drawn indie mystery game The Posthumous Investigation puts a supernatural spin on the detective genre: death is not the end, it’s the opening statement. Play as a private eye hired by an unusual client: the victim himself. The game has currently been wishlisted over 20K times on Steam. And the office will open soon. The Posthumous Investigation will launch for…
Originally announced for a Western release in December 2024, K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut was supposed to launch in 2025. Here we are, in 2026, but the good news is that it will be released this year. With the widespread love of K-pop Demon Hunters, it’s a great time…

Animal 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…

“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.

We got our first look at Monster Menu: The Scavenger’s Cookbook in last September’s NIS America Showcase featuring games coming west in early 2023.

Every now and then a free-to-play game catches my eye. Right now, I’m looking at RPG social sim Life Makeover. It allows players to design their avatars, outfits, and home, all while experiencing an interactive story and social life. It’s also stunning. The game is already big in places like…

I know exactly where I stand on modernizing books from the past: I despise it with every fibre of my being. I recently reread a bunch of Lois Duncan books but they were newer versions, and despite being set in like the 70s every had cell phones (just forgot them…

I’m not going to lie: I completely forgot about Dordogne between November 2022’s Nintendo Indie World showcase and today’s release date announcement. I’m a little surprised that I did, because it sounds like the exact type of game I’m interested in playing: a narrative adventure about living life to its…
