Copycat (Steam) – Review

I love narrative or novella-type games, and while they won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, I love a gaming experience with a side of tear-jerking emotion. In saying that, by opening with the disclaimer of touching on hard topics, I knew ‘Copycat’, by Indie Australian developer, Spoonful Of Wonder, was

The Plucky Squire (Steam) – Review

Over my gaming years, I’ve experienced many tales of daring heroes and thrilling adventures, but none quite like Jot’s, for his story takes place not just in a game world, but in a storybook. You’re probably thinking, “Books aren’t video games,” and you’d normally be right, but in the case

The Crush House (Steam) – Review

Reading the brief for “The Crush House” by game developer Nerial, I couldn’t help but reminisce about the early 2000s when Big Brother Australia first hit our TV screens in 2001. It offered a voyeuristic glimpse into people’s lives, compelling viewers to tune in every night to catch up on
