Read MoreReview by Harvard L. If there’s one thing that education and video games have in common, it’s that everyone seems to want to pay the very least they can to get the very best product possible – oftentimes putting an unbearable strain on the suppliers of the product. Teachers might…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. In space, no one can hear you scream. That’s the kind of lonely feeling I get from playing Amazing Discoveries in Outer Space (aforementioned ADIOS, because that’s easier to type!). But it’s a good feeling, too. To me, ADIOS was an emotional journey that I never…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Take everything you know about being a supreme ruler and and huck it out the window. The darkness has come and passed and as a God with limited powers it’s up to you to lead the meager remainder of your people to some semblance of life…

Everything is represented using pictographs, which makes localisation a cinch for Chinese one-man developer M. Hanka. Hieroglyphika is a roguelike in…
Read MoreDogchild tells the story of a boy named Tarpak and his canine companion, Tarao. When dogs start to go missing, Tarpak and Tarao set out to find what happened to them. The two soon find out that a company called Cornish Inc. may be the ones behind the disappearance of…
Read MoreThe Coma acts as a cautionary tale, albeit that of a farfetched one. Overworking school students will lead to a nightmarish hellscape where teachers attack students who fall behind.
