Strange Horticulture is an occult puzzle game that was released this year where developers incorporate one or two unique elements into the game. The game is presented in a way that isn’t hugely reliant on visual effects, so you’re doing quite a lot of reading and scrolling. …

Little Misfortune is a game by Killmonday Games, the same people who developed and published Fran Bow. Both games fall under this genre of what I would call “creepycute” games. The aesthetics are simple 2D, drawn in a slightly childish way and is fairly straight forward to play. Personally, I…

Pinstripe is an atmospheric indie adventure game published in 2017. It features a priest who loses his daughter and must go in search of her. As you play you become aware of this sense of Teddy, the priest, having lost his faith. …
