One of the most overpopulated genres in the indie gaming scene is the platformer genre, but a rarer and more celebrated variety is the 3D platformer. This means every release of a new 3D platformer just inherently feels a bit more unique, and Boti: Byteland Overclocked is no exception, but being a 3D platformer might …

As I readily admit on the Indie Game Culture Podcast, I’m a sucker for puzzle games. I love titles that challenge me mentally, especially if they do so in unexpected ways. In my experience, puzzle games are one of the most versatile genres out there, and developers are always finding new ways to impress me. …
I have a lovingly strange relationship with visual novels. Even if I adore their strong narratives with devasting outcomes, like Sayori’s terrifying fate in Doki Doki Literature Club, the incredible minimalistic gameplay and poor pacing can be unforgivingly boring.

If you’re a 90s kid and an RPG fan, then you’ll likely be in the same boat as me. I’d wager you are always searching within the maelstrom of indie RPGs and AAA offerings in search of a title that will transport you back to those long-lost days spent sitting cross-legged, inches away from the …

Moving Out channels the same frantic co-op fun that caught the wind following the emergence of Overcooked and Storage Inc. The sequel builds on the original’s ability to take on one of life’s most unpleasant tasks, and somehow translate it into an hilarious few hours. But considering the premise is pretty much the same, does …
Have you ever examined the overwhelming amount of apocalypse survival games that have come out? If you did, you’d realize they were almost entirely dark and gritty experiences, leading to the genre feeling completely stale at this point. While it might seem unavoidable to write a story about an apocalyptic event in a depressing and …
