Silver Chains (Laundromat of the Haunted House Genre)

Silver Chains (Laundromat of the Haunted House Genre)

  Ladies and germs, I braced myself for some spook-ful frights and gorged on all the mental asylum and haunted house games that succeeded before indie developer Cracked Heads released their demonic puzzle/exploration Silver Chains. Unfortunately, from the moment protagonist “Peter” totaled his bush bomb of a car into a tree and was met by […]

Garage Bad Trip (Acidhead VHS Zombie Horror)

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)

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 […]

Apparition (Actually Scary Ouija Ghost Hunt)

  Okay this game freaked me out. When Fat Dog Games first told me about Apparition after I contacted them about a different game, I was disinterested because of how pathetic the theme seemed but I figured eh free play, review, move on. I was wrong. So very wrong and so very scared. Who would […]

Pandemic Express (Mosquito Mutant Tag With Assassin Mimes)

Pandemic Express (Mosquito Mutant Tag With Assassin Mimes)

  Talk about some deceptive wording. Pandemic Express is billed with the word “zombie” thrown about but zombies there are none though escape plenty. I’m not sure why everyone latched onto it as a “zombie” thing when it stands perfectly fine on its own feet if you’re into mutant insect people, but I suppose for […]

The Subject (Sci-Fi Horror Puzzle BDSM IN SPACE)

The Subject (Sci-Fi Horror Puzzle BDSM IN SPACE)

  Puzzles? Horror? Space? Blast off (weak space and bondage jokes coming, on occasion). I’ve been digging more into these first-person survival romps and this is the first sci-fi-themed terror-ship I’ve decided to ride, mostly because the others all looked terrible and this one has spacecraft so The Subject had me gravitating towards it like […]

Infliction (Ghost Story of RL Proportions)

Infliction (Ghost Story of RL Proportions)

  Yo I can’t get enough of that survival horror spooking. But I can get enough of the bad variety and I’ve received a few recently I don’t have the heart to complain about because they’re that bad. If you forgot or are new, I love destroying things that suck and making people cry, but the fact is that’s only applicable […]

Defense: Abominations (First-Person Survival Turret Chaos)

Defense: Abominations (First-Person Survival Turret Chaos)

  You know, when I first caught some pics of Defense: Abominations I expected an entry-level first-person shooter (FPS) effort from some Eastern European cyberflunk who can barely hack his own email. What I found was more of a mid-grade network spy who can almost hack this site’s email but gives up because he’s in the middle of programming […]

Witch Hunt (First-Person Flintlock Horror Pursuit)

Witch Hunt (First-Person Flintlock Horror Pursuit)

  Boy I struggled to figure out some sort of synonym for ‘hunt’ to title this, and ‘pursuit’ is all I had for today, but it’s rather fitting for Witch Hunt. I wish I was a bit smarter while writing this, but I’ve had a long month of job interviews, conferences, and things other than playing […]

My Big Sister (Soul-Crushing Reality-Infused Ghost Adventure)

My Big Sister (Soul-Crushing Reality-Infused Ghost Adventure)

  There’s been a surge in 16-bit styled games in the indie market, usually of the RPG variety since Squaresoft worship will never die. Was The Secret of Mana really that good? Remember one of the bosses was Santa Claus? Yeah, forget that game. Of course they released some pretty stellar titles otherwise, but were only one of several […]
