After Untitled Goose Game, I’ll check out any game about a bird doing pesky things to local hoomans. Because of this, Just Crow Things makes perfect sense to me. How could you not want to play a game with something called poop modes?! This punny sandbox adventure has you playing…

It is a good day for creepy video game news! Japanese-style horror adventure game Hollow Cocoon was released for PC via Steam last December, self-published by developer Nayuta Studio. The horror game is set in Japan during the 1980s. The screenshots look almost serene but don’t get lulled into a…

Games inspired by the Game Boy Advance era are currently on trend, and I’m not mad about it. For example, an unfinished Shantae game for the handheld console is now being completed for launch (on both GBA and modern consoles). Action RPG Tako no Himitsu: Ocean of Secrets is a…
