    Preview – Shutter Story

    Zoey Handley / February 19, 2026 / No Comments

    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+

    Zoey Handley / February 16, 2026 / 2 Comments

    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.

    Review – Lovish

    CJ Andriessen / February 11, 2026 / 2 Comments

    Lovish is a charming throwback to the single-screen arcade games that would have eaten rolls of quarters in the ’80s. Players take control of Sir Soloman, a selfish knight who decides to ditch his party before they venture out so he can have the princess in waiting all to himself. Without his band of RPG staples to help him out,…

    Tangle Tower, Crow Country devs’ next game, The Mermaid Mask, is out this Summer

    Zoey Handley / February 11, 2026 / No Comments

    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?

    Review – Future Racer 2000

    Zoey Handley / January 27, 2026 / No Comments

    Future Racer 2000 has been updated quite a bit since I first did a write-up of it in 2023. So, I figure that now's a good time to revisit it and see if it still has the magic.

    I have complicated feelings for Terra Invicta, a complicated game

    Zoey Handley / January 6, 2026 / 1 Comment

    I like complex games, sure, and Terra Invicta is full of complexity. However, it's not a total knock out of the park that it maybe should be. At least, it's not for me, which is where things get a bit compicated.

    Review – Dead Format

    Zoey Handley / December 12, 2025 / No Comments

    I'm a sucker for film-inspired live-action sequences in games, and Dead Format has them in spades. Building a horror game around various movie aesthetics sounds like a boffo idea, but when you add a vulture into the mix, that changes things.

    Preview – Restory

    Zoey Handley / December 9, 2025 / No Comments

    I love the smell of solder fumes in the morning. That's why Restory is right up my alley. It recognizes the meditative quality of refurbishing old hardware and crams it into a nice cozy package.

    Review – Blood: Refreshed Supply

    Zoey Handley / December 4, 2025 / No Comments

    This seems familiar. Not even a year after I played through Blood: Fresh Supply, Nightdive is back with an updated version. I wish someone would have warned me. Maybe I should ask them next time I'm thinking about starting a '90s shooter.

    With the wonders of modern technology, you can build Rome in a day. Try it in Nova Roma, a new survival City-Builder set in, you know, Roman times. Here's a look at its upcoming public demo!
