Ghostrunner (Cyberpunk Head Removal Sword Game)
Phew dang do I have a huge backlog of games to review. Here I am thinking I have all my serious life work pretty much done and then I convince myself I need to edit a textbook. Damn it. Well, I’ll have more time to play and stream in a few months, don’t worry, […]

Everhood (Retro Weirdo Boss Battle RPG)
Everhood is what happens when you bottle up an acid-trip run through Beatmania in a smoke-filled basement arcade and manufacture an NES cartridge out of the bottled essence. You take on the role of a one-armed doll engaging in dance battles with toads and ATMs that spit out little guitar hero buttons to dodge. […]

Unreal Life (Unearth Your Dead Memories Point-and-Click Sadness Game)
Ah, I just love finding games like this now and then. Such a relief and such a testament to the ingenuity of the indie market, but in particular those one-person insanity factories that just get it. Unreal Life was a random find by myself, ahem, that hopefully gets some more credit after this review, […]

Kohate (Sci-Fi BDSM Horror Puzzle Run)
This game is strikingly similar to The Subject (our first video game review on this site I believe, same company too) but its approach is much different and its storytelling more refined, though that “tie me down you beast” aesthetic is still present (lol). In Kohate you play the roll of an unnamed prisoner […]

Sense – 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story (Cyberpunk Big Chest Horror Click Game)
Everyone be talking about cyberpunk stuff this month even though they never played a lick of that Shadowrun until yesterday. Or they’re all talking about Neuromancer like it’s hot when it’s pretty crap, actually. So it’s obviously the flavor of the week, or rather year or longer depending on how long indie devs can […]

Waking (Third-Person Coma Survival Game)
Certain things are just great. The right creator can craft masterpieces as if simply breathing. It comes to them like the next in-breath, something they never even have to think upon. I knew Waking was going to be spectacular when I read the promo, and there was nothing about the assumption that ended up […]

Chicken Police – Paint it Red! (Clucking Animal Noir Game)
At some point in the course of my playthrough of Chicken Police, the new LA-noir-but-where-everybody-has-an-animal-for-a-head game from Handygames, me and my roommate decided we would drink to Sonny Featherland, our protagonist, every time he or his junior partner Marty MacChicken made use of any form of “cluck” (as in “cluck off”), and any time […]

Hades (Keyboard Rager Hack-and-Slash Game)
Now this game is one that came straight out of the deepest pit of hell, or I mean Hades. The type that will make you mash your keyboard into a pile of broken fragments; from the start a straight up rager. The basic goal is you, as the son of Hades, are trying to […]

Star Renegades (Massively Freaking Difficult Space Rebel JRPG)
A debate raged in my head as to whether I should review this one. Dark enough? Misanthropic enough? Well there’s some empire in space taking over stuff and subjugating rebels and all that, so within such strife there’s inevitably suffering. We’ll go with it, primarily because I love Raw Fury and they’ve been just […]

Necrobarista (Deep Life Thoughts Ghost Cafe Game)
I wasn’t quite sure at first if Necrobarista was really something that would fit in around here; figured I’d have to put some spin on it to justify why I was reviewing what first appears an anime game about a coffee shop. Anime, good. Coffee shop, bad. Always bad. Didn’t you know? That could […]
