Cook, Serve, Forever – Is it delicious?
The first thing that struck me about Cook, Serve, Forever was that there was a plot, complete with visual novel style cutscenes. You play as Nori, a girl living in a down-on-its-luck town in the near future. Having been taught how to cook…
Worshippers of Cthulhu — Is it an eldritch blast?
To keep things on theme, the resources you generate are sometimes a bit more unusual. Instead of money, you have faith to spend on constructions, and whilst wood is a standard building material, the only clothing you can offer is robes and…
Occlude – Dark heart of the cards

Chasmal Fear – Afraid it’s a no from me
I quite like the mechanic of some monsters mutating and reviving after death unless you use your knife on them. This reminds me of the Crimson Heads from the remake of Resident Evil, with you needing to use your serum loaded knife if a body…
Centum – Actual Intelligence
I describe Centum as being more akin to a visual novel, as really there aren’t any serious puzzles to solve, inventory items to manage, or information to carry from area to area. This isn’t a knock on the game as it’s designed in this way,…
