Even if you don’t know the name FuRyu, you may be familiar with some of its titles, including The Legend of Legacy and Reynatis. Today, the Japanese developer/publisher announced Varlet, an immersive, story-driven high school RPG that challenges players to explore the duality of their own nature. (If you want…
I’ve played some great games that use in-game smartphone mechanics; for example,…

Sticky Business launched in August 2023, and to date is the developer’s only title to have launched. (It has, however, received some updates and two DLC packs. The Camp Zinnias DLC launched today.) One year later, I am still playing the game – as recently as a few hours ago.…

The first trilogy of Pixel Pulps from LCB Game Studio had phenomenally pulpy narratives and retro graphics. Each game (Mothmen 1966, Varney Lake, Bahnsen Knights) stood solidly on its own, but if you play all three you also follow the story of a paranormal investigator attached to each. I deeply…

Last week, Nintendo released a bizarre teaser trailer titled Emio. (It has since been edited to include the entire title.) It is grainy. It is creepy. I don’t think anyone could make sense of the 15-second trailer consisting mostly of a person wearing a beige trench coat and a paper…
