Cronos: The New Dawn is an all-new horror experience from a studio with a great grasp of the genre. (Its past titles speak for themselves —…
Dance could be considered an underrated form of artistic expression, so it is great to see it featured in video games. Dance has the power to heal. Mentari was announced today; it is an action-adventure game with a dance-based combat system. In its world, dancers are seen as second-class citizens.…

Described as a gardenvania, the game is a cross-pollination of high combat 2D platformer and cozy-core gardening sim. Those are two genres you don’t see together very often!
