Puzzles and mysteries await in The Spectrum Retreat
You wake up to a knock at your door. You get out of bed and open the door. A well-dressed robot stands on the other side — one of the staff members of the hotel. He informs you that you requested a wake up call at this time, and tells you that breakfast is ready…
Shape of the World provides a beautiful, serene escape from our worldly troubles
I’m standing in a pond. The sky is a deep shade of purple, black trees with orange leaves sprouting up around me, framing the glowing monuments before me. Above, a whale gently soars through the air as long, fish-like creatures float by. The music, once pronounced and energetic, is now almost silent as if it…
From E3 2017: Call of Cthulhu combines Amnesia-style horror with RPG elements
Call of Cthulhu has been adapted to videogames many times over the years and in many forms. From first-person horror games to point-and-click adventures, developers have been mining the Call of Cthulhu depths for a while. Cyanide Studio is the next one to take a crack at it, this one being a first-person horror game/investigation…
Traipse About a Beautiful Parkour Playground in Refunct
Refunct is one of those perfect examples of a pleasant surprise. I came across it by pure chance during the Steam Winter sale. Saw it was cheap (less than a dollar at the time) and that the reviews were good, so I figured it was worth a shot. Plus, it described itself as a “peaceful,…
E3 2015 – Gravity is yours to command in Relativity

Every structure you encounter looks more like a work of abstract art to observe and appreciate than a piece of…
Daylight Review
Regardless of the fact that it shares its namesake with a weak mid-90s revival of a certain action star, Daylight surprisingly does a lot of the same that that movie did wrong. It’s part of a horror game revival movement that includes many similarly looking titles already, trying to stand out by offering an apparently…
Antichamber Review
Playing Antichamber is a test of patience. Its clever puzzles and abstract, Escher-like environment perplex at every turn. Conventional logic does not apply here, the sterile scenery continuously subverting expectations and rules before introducing more to follow. It perplexes and dumbfounds you at every turn, causing more than a few colorful exclamations after some of…
Dishonored Review
You simply cannot believe how things have gotten to this point. Creeping in the shadows, under a raging thunderstorm, you begin to wonder why you are doing this. Your thoughts are suddenly put aside as you catch a glimpse of your target. He needs to die. On one hand, you could slip by security and…
