Read MoreI love how on point eastasiasoft is with its showcases: they are quite quick and happen often, versus being long and happening rarely. Today’s showcase focuses on 12 titles launching by the end of the year and into early 2024. There’s even a full-on game announcement for Dead End City.…
Read MoreI mentioned Bye Sweet Carole in passing in my coverage of Guerilla Collective’s Not-E3 showcase this year, but otherwise I actually haven’t written about it at all.

They’re really chill games; most of the gameplay follows that of…
Read MoreIn April, it was announced that Calico would be coming to the one brand of consoles it hasn’t launched on: PlayStation. At that point, it was only known that the game would be released sometime in 2023. Well, we’re getting close to the end of the year, and Calico will…
Read MoreLake is one of those games that comes up when talking about cozy games (though not nearly enough compared to, say, Wylde Flowers). The base game, which is set in 1986, has players taking on the role of Meredith while she is taking over her father’s job as mail carrier.…
