Moroi (PC) Review

Absurdly strange dreams are an almost nightly occurrence for me. Compared to the nightmares I used to have, though, I’ll gladly take the weird dreams with which those nightmares seem to have been replaced. I’d much rather wake up asking myself, “What…

The House of Tesla Available on Steam

I love puzzle and escape-room games. Things like The Room series, or The House of Da Vinci games, are a fun way to flex your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Now, the next game from the developers of the House of Da…

Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile (PC) Review

The story of Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile is iconic. It is one of her more famous works, spawning numerous films and adaptations. It is fairly obvious that Microids’ Studio Lyon would adapt it in one of their games in the…
