Undying (Steam) – Review

Developer Vanimals publishing alongside Skystone Games has brought us Undying. At first glance, Undying appears to be a survival game based around a zombie apocalypse and a touching story about a mother and her child. Followers of my reviews will know how I feel about survival games. So, is Undying

Ludde (Steam) – Review

‘Ludde’, developed by Shellander Games, is definitely a case of not judging a book by its cover. Appearing quite simple and unpolished, this is one rough stone hiding some sparking gems inside. Ludde is narrativeless, and you are immediately thrown into an open sandbox winter wonderland as what can be

Buried (Steam) – Review

Buried, developed and produced by Authogin, is exactly what it sounds like, and this is what initially intrigued me, but this one is going to be short and sweet. It’s a game you play once or twice, and maybe a third time if you’re feeling it, however, that is not

HRS: Devil Game I (Steam) – Review

Few things in this world truly confuse me, and I can now say that HRS: Devil Game I is one of them. Also known as Horrible Real Street, it is classed as an action-adventure indie strategy game, however, it is clearly a survival FPS, horror-indie game. The developers, Unk Games,

Desolatium (Xbox Series X) – Review

Subtle horror is more my thing. I like a good slow burn. That’s why the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, the Brothers Grimm, and Del Toro are more up my alley. If I was ever going to get into horror titles, then first-person point-and-click graphic adventures are definitely where I
