Gerda: A Flame in Winter Gets New DLC

Gerda: A Flame in Winter is easily one of my favorite games from 2022. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the World War II-Era narrative game nearly as much as I did. To my surprise, the developers at Bird Island (formerly PortaPlay) and…

Meet Your Maker (PC) Review

When I first saw the trailer for Meet Your Maker, it seemed like a potentially interesting game until I saw that it was being made by Behaviour Interactive. For those who don’t know, Behaviour Interactive is the developer company that made Dead…

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PS5) Review

Never Grave: The Witch and the Curse Announced

I love a good Metroidvania. I also happen to love witches and witch-related media. Luckily, Tokyo-based indie developer Pocket Pair Inc has announced a brand-new game for Steam that seems to satisfy both of those cravings. Never Grave: The Witch and The…

Firmament Now Available on Steam

If someone had told me that in 2023 the developers of classic puzzle adventures Myst and Riven would be releasing a new game, I wouldn’t have believed you. I didn’t even know that Indie developer Cyan was still around, but here we…
