Trüberbrook is a gorgeous game about things not always being what they seem.
Coffee Talk is as refreshing as it is sweet
Much like a cup of coffee, Toge productions’ Coffee Talk is both simple-seeming and complex. It's a narrative experience that left me feeling warm and more than satisfied. From the start of my playthrough I could see the love and care that…

Jam Favorites: Bitsy Jam: Rat

Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is scary, fast
Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, a new FPS that pushes the Quake engine to its limits, throws hordes of enemies at you with one hand and offers you powerful weapons to slaughter them with the other — all while you run around gothic environments at a…
Keep moving Forward in Forward.
Over the last year, I have started really enjoying card-based games. Forward, a game from the 7DLR challenge feels inspired by Slay the Spire. It's an experience where you can slowly move forward, a card at a time, trying to defeat monsters…

Both puzzle and management sim, Big Pharma is a tough pill to swallow on console
Even though I haven’t played it, I’d imagine that the PC version of Big Pharma might be quite an interesting prospect. Four or five hours of console experience has certainly whet my appetite, but despite the interesting prospect, iffy…
