When I think of Idea Factory otome games, much of what comes to mind is as cute and colourful as the upcoming Cupid Paradise: Sweet and Spicy Darling. Don’t get me wrong, those are wonderful and creative games – but what if an otome visual novel decides to go dark with a supernatural theme? You end up with 9 R.I.P.,…
Apologies for the incorrect date in the header image – Nintendo AU never published one so this is UK time. As always, expect about 20 minutes of announcements and updates on indie games coming soon (or soon-ish) to Nintendo Switch. While all of these are confirmed for Nintendo’s console, there…
In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have played ArcRunner. While it looks the…
Welcome to Digitally Downloaded’s weekly catch-up news feature, the catch-up coffee. With…
Tsugunohi has been around for a few years on PC, but despite the developer proudly proclaiming the many, many minutes of streaming time it has chewed up in the promo material (over 100 million video views, apparently!), it’s been niche and exactly that kind of indie horror. Now it’s on…

August has been pretty quiet for big game new thus far (I think everyone’s busy playing Baldur Gate 3 and preparing for Gamescom), and there’s nothing better than a Pokémon Presents to shake that up a bit! Today’s presentation features loads of news, from Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet DLC…

If you’re looking for a turn-based JRPG that takes a little (okay, a lot) of skills, Virgo Versus the Zodiac might be for you. It’s a sci-fi/fantasy JRPG about Virgo, who is trying to revive something called the Golden Age and purge the Heretics swarming the galaxy. It’s been available…

I must admit, I never thought I’d see Cricket Captain land on the Nintendo Switch. The Football Manager Touch series does fine, but this is a whole other kettle of niche. In theory, cricket should work nicely for a manager game. Cricket is a sport of statistics and tactics, as…

Ubisoft is set to launch the final DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, featuring the one and only Rayman. The DLC is titled “Rayman in the Phantom Show,” and was technically announced before the game even launched; it was shown off in a video last September, whereas the…

Monster taming/catching games, like Pokémon, are often turn-based in nature. Adore is a little bit different as it features real-time combat instead. The developer, Cadabra Games, is based in Brazil; it makes sense that a Brazilian publisher, QUByte Interactive, would publish Adore. Th game has been in development since 2018,…

Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life originally launched as Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for GameCube and PlayStation 2 back in 2023, before all of the naming rights hubbub began. It’s been one month since its remake launched; in his review, Matt described it has having “heart-meltingly warm good-naturedness” and…

I’ve been hyped for The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood since it was announced. Matt’s preview of the game definitely fuelled that, but it also helps that it’s from the developer behind The Red Strings Club.
