X-COM is one of my favorite games. I prefer the games from the 1990s, but all the games are fun. There are also a fair number of clones and games that were inspired by it. Critical Shift is one of the modern indie games that looks like it has taken inspiration from it. The gameContinue reading “Critical Shift, First Impressions of a new Horror Game”

Camp Sunshine is a Fantastic Survival Horror Game
Camp Sunshine is a very cool survival horror game set in a summer camp. It is a retro-inspired indie game, and it looks very good! The gameplay is excellent, and the graphics are beautiful.

One of the Best Stories in a Video Game | Road 96
This game hits differently when I play it today. Road 96 takes place in a totalitarian country where children are constantly trying to escape the country. A lot is going on in this game that you’ll hear about throughout the game. The game is a walking simulator. This seems to have replaced the “adventure game”Continue reading “One of the Best Stories in a Video Game | Road 96”

Tavern Talk is a Fun and Unique Visual Novel
Tavern Talk is a visual novel in which you play the Innkeeper role. Adventurers come into the tavern, and you serve the drinks while they tell you about themselves. It is an interesting idea for a game.

Fantasy Map Simulator is a Strange but Fun Game
Fantasy Map Simulator reminds me of games like SimEarth and SimAnt. There are probably a few others, but my mind went to the Sim family of games. This game is less involved than the SimCity games. There is something compelling about this game. It feels like Pandemic or Crusader Kings. You don’t have to doContinue reading “Fantasy Map Simulator is a Strange but Fun Game”

Have you ever beaten a game and wondered if you won or if the game simply stopped? That happened to me when I finished A Night on the Farm. It is an adventure horror game with multiple endings.

Slay the Princess: Good Graphics, Simple Gameplay, Somewhat Confusing Story.
Slay the Princess is a confusing game to write about. I’m not sure what to say and what not to say. It all comes down to how much I could talk about and how much I understood enough to talk about. At first, the game is straightforward. There is a cabin in the woods, aContinue reading “Slay the Princess: Good Graphics, Simple Gameplay, Somewhat Confusing Story.”
Rewind or Die is a Short but Fun Survival Horror Game
Rewind or Die is a survival horror game. It is set in a video rental store sometime in the 90s. I’m not exactly sure where and when, but VHS tapes are everywhere, so I’m guessing mid to late 1990s. The game uses a first-person perspective and Playstation One graphics. I like this choice quite aContinue reading “Rewind or Die is a Short but Fun Survival Horror Game”
