The world itself feels interesting, and something that could have been lifted from The Day of the Tentacle with the slightly off-shaped buildings, brightly coloured characters, and repeated fourth wall breaks. All those characters were a…

Gameplay itself is quite simple at first glance, with depth being provided by figuring out effective card synergies. Cards have a speed, as well as an attack or defence value. Attack cards do damage, and defence ones block it as you’d…

You want your ball to hit a bounce pad that pops it up into a brick that earns money when hit from below before it hits an axe that splits it in two with each half collecting ingredient items to take to a frying pan to create meals that can…

Walking past the picture of a creepy woman and going up the stairs, only to return to find that same lady standing in front of the picture before she chased me caught me very much off guard. This game uses a bunch of admittedly cliched, but…

Stephanie is equipped with an array of phantasm detection devices, from EMF readers to laser grids. By using these in conjunction with provocations, you’ll need to find and record audio and video evidence of ghostly goings-on, and piece…
