No Son of Mine (Shovel to the Head Unwanted Child Horror)
I apologize to the dev for sitting on this one for so long but I was swamped. Ugh. Anyway, it never ceases to amaze me how often indie horror games smash the big names into the ground like so many unwanted children with shovels. If you haven’t figured out yet that’s going to be […]

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle (Self-Aware Area 51 Sci-Fi Horror)
Having played the original, Daymare 1998, I was pretty stoked to hear about a sequel, or rather prequel since this is taking place four years prior. If you’re not familiar with its predecessor, it was a homage to the Resident Evil series, taking many of its ideas, purposefully, from the franchise, equaling what is […]

Alan Wake II (A Novella on Survival Horror)
2023 has been an outstanding year for video games, and no game is better evidence than Alan Wake II. Remedy Entertainment’s latest outing sees the titular character back in action in the world of Bright Falls, with better puzzles, mysteries, and characters (old and returning) to stave off the darkness. Alan Wake II is […]

Varney Lake (Pixel Pulp Vampiric Visual Novel)
Oooooo, tasty, bloody, and pulpy. I was pretty excited about Varney Lake, not just for the Varney the Vampire references, but for the fact that it was an old-school PC text adventure horror game. Before it dropped the devs let me check out another title they did prior, Mothmen 1966, which was surprisingly deep. […]

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (The Game Actually Released Complete This Time)
I loved Cyberpunk 2077 when it came out. Controversies aside, the prospect of (minor spoilers ahead) a stowaway in your head trying to change who you are really intrigues me. Even the ideas of just cyberpunk in general, installing augmentations to your body, and everything a mess of wires and bootleg technology. Now though, […]

Blasphemous II (Sins are Good and Evil is the Way to Win Metroidvania)
Blasphemous II is fantastic. If you loved the first one, the sequel is everything that was but better. A cool weapon? Now there’s (at least) three to choose from. Amazing bosses? Blasphemous II introduces even more incredible designs. New mechanics that allow you to backtrack through old places unlocking secrets? Dozens more are here. […]

Night at the Gates of Hell (Butt Jokes Survival Horror)
Lol, love it! If you’re into this kind of thing, you certainly know that retro-inspired horror survival is booming. With legends like Puppet Combo crapping out PS1-era violence and shock, it’s channeling nostalgia for things past and which we wish still existed. Games like this make it so! And some of these titles mix […]

The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales (Intrepid Story-Slicing Privateer Simulator)
How does a night of transporting yourself into books, stealing key plot devices, and selling them to pay off your jail sentence sound? The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales is this and more, layering pages of different plots on top of each other in a top-down, point-and-click/turn-based combat action adventure. With a more than serviceable […]

Amid Evil VR (Dark Fantasy VR Death LARP)
What a treat this one is. New Blood Interactive is already legendary for its retro-inspired FPS titles like Dusk or its legendary, oddball pixel horror title FAItH. A personal favorite of mine, and one I played in-depth, as well as reviewed on this site (look it up yourself lazy), is Amid Evil, an FPS […]

The Case of the Golden Idol (Gruesome Deaths Point-and-Click Detective Game)
The Case of the Golden Idol is in the style of point and click adventures from the early 2000s mixed with a modern macabre flair akin to the likes of Return of the Obra Dinn. It asks you to be the detective with as little hand-holding as possible, throwing you into a world with […]
