News by Matt S. Visual Novels are dime-a-dozen, particularly if you look up itch.io. Heck, we make our own. It can be difficult to catch all the new ones that are inbound as a result, but A Summer’s End – Hong Kong 1986 is looking great… and it releases this…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. If you haven’t heard about Desperados III yet, you really should pay attention to it, as this stealth tactics game is shaping up to be something special indeed. It has been 14 years since the last one, but as one of the many IPs that THQ…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Everyone wants to be the developer behind the “next Dark Souls.” It’s not a genre I think that smaller teams should actually work on – whether it’s level design, narrative, combat or visuals, the Souls-like genre requires a mastery that is very difficult to get right.…
