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…
Hidden Kittens: Kingdom of Cats – Spy the Cats!
Some hidden object cat games simply have you trying to find as many cats as possible. Hidden Kittens: Kingdom of Cats is one of those types of games, where you are presented with a large, primarily devoid of color picture and need to just…
Occlude – Dark heart of the cards
Each stage begins with a short story about someone who has done something terrible and has come across this very deck of cards. The deck will allow them to change what they did, but only if they complete a ritual correctly. There are hints…
Old Skies – Time’s arrow
Wadjet Eye, a developer that any fan of pointing and clicking should keep close to their hearts and wallets, has returned with another gracefully told story about flawed humans. Old Skies is, it seems, a less flexible game than previous…

Sunderfolk – Sundertale?
Control works very nicely too, with everything being done on your phone screen. When moving, you drag your finger across your screen and you can see the path your character will take, following your finger around the hexes. It’s a little…
Purgin’ Planets in Son of a Gun
Son of a Gun explodes the top-down shooter format into the modern day. Top-down shooters are something that I really don’t get a chance to play much, so when Son of a Gun dropped into my lap, it was a pretty neat reminder that when they’re…
Soulslinger – High Noon
The art direction in Soulslinger is excellent. I loved going into these desolate weird west adjacent places, from standard canyons and streets to demon ravaged farmlands and miasma poisoned townships. Every new location looked impressive…
