I gave Red Barrels’ Outlast a fantastic review a few months ago. Despite my wonderful experience with the main game, I waited until the Whistleblower DLC was on sale before buying it for myself. I usually think DLC is — no matter how polished it may be — overpriced. It is very, […]

Pony Island is not about ponies. Pony Island is about demons; demons that want you to play a 2D side-scrolling game about jumping unicorns that have tickle battles with butterflies for — forever! There is no escape. Hell is an unwinnable, inescapable arcade game. And you’re living it. It’s your […]
The Beginner’s Guide is something of an introspective adventure. An adventure that wends through the creations of a struggling game developer. It’s a journey that explores friendship and loneliness, and the narratives we create from them.
The Lunar New Year Steam sale has helped bolster my indie game collection a great deal. I’ve recently purchased indie games I’ve been meaning to get my hands on for quite some time (but had been waiting for a good sale to nab them up).

Hyper Light Drifter is a vibrant new indie game that has already far surpassed its original funding goal on Kickstarter. Resplendent with neon and nostalgia, it has charmed its way to nearly $300,000.
