Mothmen 1966 (Retro PC Pulp Cryptid Horror)

  Yo I dig this. My first experience with computer games, other than a brief sampling on a friend’s Commodore 64, was the Apple IIe. Now, granted, I only played Lemonade Stand at the time, but always dug that green/black color scheme, the boxy look, and the booping speaker from inside the harddrive, not to […]

World of Horror (Horror Manga Point-and-Click Game)

  Just wow. Reviewing video games is much more difficult than the usual music crud on this site. They’re not as easy for fans to access, they can require more money (if we’re talking about digital anyway), and they take longer to assess. But recently we fools at Deaf Sparrow have been restructuring the review […]

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 […]

Garage Bad Trip (Acidhead VHS Zombie Horror)

  Yeah here we go. If there’s one thing that’s an easy sell in a video game, it’s got to be mutated freaks you blast into pieces, but maybe not because WTF no one seems to be playing this. But wait add getting high off of chemically-soaked rats, killing prisoner guards with nail guns, two-headed […]

Pathologic 2 (First-Person Suffering Sim)

  When I stumbled across this game on Steam, my dumbass dismissed it foolishly quick. “Wow, another generic first-person survival horror shooter.” But this idiotic train of thought couldn’t be further from smart. I anticipated completing it in a few sittings, which slowly descended into a thick, depressing mosh of trial and error as I […]

Horns of Fear (Old School Horror Puzzle Freak Out)

  Boy do I ever remember games like this. When my family finally got a legit computer in the early 1990s, the first game I played on it was The 7th Guest, which you likely know. I won’t even bother linking it because you’re a total provincial if you don’t know about it. Suffice to say, if the […]

First Winter (Retro Cold War Horror)

Wow it’s been so long I’ve played a game like this, and to see someone capture an era I actually lived so accurately just, uhhh… First Winter is a survival/puzzle horror mash from indie developer and programmer Dan Sanderson, whose previous work includes three titles prior to this, and who I assume probably lived in the 1980s.
