Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To is a bright and bubbly match-3 style game coming to Kickstarter on April 13th. I had a chance to speak with Alex, creative lead from developer Soft Not Weak about the game and some of the features as well as having LGBT characters at the forefront of the […] More
Over the last few years, more and more games have come out with lighter themes and overall more wholesome aesthetics. While some use this as a front and have darker, serious undertones (see Undertale, Pony Island) the idea of a purely feel-good game has always been something I’ve been interested in. I play games to unwind, to […] More
As part of the 25th Anniversary celebrations, The Pokémon Company has unveiled 2 new games both taking place in the Sinnoh region. Continuing their streak of remaking older Pokémon games for a new generation, the first are remakes of Diamond and Pearl, each titled Pokémon Brillant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl which will release on the Nintendo […] More
Mobile games have been a bit of a hot topic for years—do they count as video games? Well, yes, I don’t see why not. Not everyone has the means or desire to buy a gaming PC or console, and many big-name games like Fortnite or Stardew Valley have mobile versions anyway. Plus, maybe you just want to play […] More
Today I’m speaking with Lauren Clinnick from Australian based studio Lumi Interactive about their upcoming game Kinder World, a Wholesome vibes gardening simulator for IOS and Android devices. LG: Can you go into some detail about your game Kinder World and some of the mechanics? LI: We describe Kinder World as a game of houseplants, […] More
Life is stressful, and sometimes you just need to kick back and lose yourself in a video game. What do you play when you’re not feeling like a big action game though? What if you just want to come away with a smile on your face and lightness in your heart? Something I love about […] More
Computers and technology in general move at a blinding pace, and quite often it makes me think back to when everything was clunkier, slower, and more complicated. I used to have a Palm Pilot my Dad lent me that could hold maybe 5 songs tops that I’d have to switch around when I wanted to listen […] More
Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening is an RPG Maker game by developer Unity. Full of hilarious and grotesque creatures, loveable characters, and a story of interdimensional proportions, it follows Alicia as she goes to the town of Daybreak to rescue her niece, Dottie, dealing with beings from another plane that call themselves “Evocations.” I had […] More
While action games still rule the world, the casual, laid back experiences have their place too. I love to kick back and get my farm on in things like Stardew Valley or Graveyard Keeper (that tried and true gameplay loop of reaping, sowing, and reaping again). Puzzles are another go to, some of my recent favourites […] More
I am one of those people that, if you put a game on the Nintendo Switch, I’m much more likely to play it. I love the portability of it and the ability to just pick it up whenever I have a few spare minutes in between tasks. The vast majority of the games on my […] More
The Halloween season may be over, but spookiness lives on year-round! Whether you’re shopping for a friend or just want to treat yourself during the holidays, there’s an abundance of Indie Horror games to try. Be sure to check out my last post about Cheap Indie Horror as well for more suggestions. Sanguine Sanctum It […] More
Besides the preinstalled Astro’s Playroom, The Pathless was the first game I played on the PS5. I had played the developers previous title, Abzû, so I sort of knew what I was getting into here. A minimal tutorial and HUD, along with great visuals were a given. However, I didn’t know how quickly I would become entranced […] More
