I admit, I might have a slight obsession with Urban Myth Dissolution Center, which launches in February 2025. It sounds wonderful: the publisher describes it as a single-player psycho-detective mystery adventure that has a unique blend of psychological intrigue and supernatural investigation.

When it comes to the Atelier series, combat and synthesis are core…

Another Not-E3 has come and gone, and some of the games have since moved into my brain to live rent-free. And by some, I mean ten. The genres in this group of games range from narrative adventures to cozy puzzles to mech platformers, but I definitely seem drawn to the…

Women-Led Games may be one of the shorter showcases this weekend, but don’t let that fool you: there are some really incredible titles from some really incredible people here. The show is hosted by Lianna Ruppert. I’m not going to lie, I’ve followed her on Twitter for what has to…
