Zoey Handley
Zoey made up for her mundane childhood by playing video games. Now she won't shut up about them. Her eclectic tastes have worried many. Don't come to close, or she'll shove some weird indie or retro game in your face. It's better to not make eye contact. Cross the street if you see her coming.

Review – KuruKuru MaruMaru
Did I just dream it? I guess not. KuruKuru MaruMaru is a real game, it's just maybe an unexpected one. Looking at the art style, would you believe it's a game about getting your driver's license? Too bad it's only in Japanese.

Review – The Goonies (Famicom)
If you’re someone who’s really into the NES but knows nothing about the Famicom (which is understandable, I’m not hating), you might wonder why there’s a The Goonies 2, but not a The Goonies 1.

70’s Robot Anime: Geppy-X is getting localized with impressive remaster
70's Robot Anime: Geppy X was an interesting PS1 experiment from the '90s that attempts to evoke the experience of '70s mecha anime cartoons while having you play the big fight parts. It's rad, but only came out in Japan. Guess what! It's getting remastered and localized!

Preview – Wax Heads
I don't want to work retail ever again, but if I did, a record store seems like it would be okay. I'm not strictly a music person. I play video games all day, after all. But I like being around passionate people, and you can often find them in a record store. Anyway, that's what Wax Heads is about.

Preview – MOLE
Do you like holes? Sure you do! Well, brace yourself for the deepest, creepiest hole of them all. And you're going to dig it in MOLE! Never mind the hallucinations, they come with the territory.

Preview – WILD Tactics
I still consider myself to be a fan of the "World of Wilderness" series and am interested in its growth. However, Chicken Police: Into the Hive was quite a blow to my faith, and WILD Tactics looks like it might have me questioning further.

Preview – Rewind 99
Like many in my generation, I miss the days of the rental store. We didn't know how good we had it. I certainly didn't complain. So, a game like Rewind 99 might just be the perfect retail simulator for me.

Preview – Shutter Story
Learn what a skeptic thinks about hunting for ghosts in old photographs. Which is what Shutter Story is about. Sorry, I probably should have led with that.

Review – Blippo+
After a few recommendations, I've visited one of 2025's darlings. But Blippo+ is much less a game, and more a collection of low-budget sketches joined together by a central plot. I can see why it's so fascinating.

Tangle Tower, Crow Country devs’ next game, The Mermaid Mask, is out this Summer
Looks like we've got ourselves a mystery on our hands, gang. The Mermaid Mask, the next game in the Detective Grimoire series, has a new release window of Summer 2026. Following up on Tangle Tower and Crow Country is no small order, but what could go wrong?
