What’s new for 2026
I bet you thought I forgot about this site. In all actuality, I did not. Ever since either March or May, I cannot remember which one, I ended up in a cycle of becoming injured, sick or recovering from being either sick or injured. Unfortunately, I have coeliac disease, and that means I often end…

Loco Motive
I meant to write about this game a week ago, but I struggled to find motivation. Turns out I was sick. Whoops. Anyway, Loco Motive was the last demo I played for the Oct 24 Next Fest. In good news, it’s now out so if you decide you like it, it’s available soon. I choo…

Karma: The Dark World

Incantation
I often love weird horror games based on mythology from other countries. Incantation is a Chinese horror game about a mother searching for her daughter Mia. Six years ago, Mia was admitted into the hospital for the treatment of ulcers that appeared on her body. She was never discharged and went missing from the hospital.…

Usual June
I first saw Usual June on the last E3. I was already interested in it, after seeing that trailer alone, partly because I really liked the art style. Having supernatural themes and mystery definitely doesn’t hurt! So, when I saw there was a demo, I jumped on the chance to try it out. Usual June…
