For anyone who doesn't know, The Bridge Curse is a series of horror games based on the Taiwanese thriller movies of the same name. Created by Taiwanese developer Softstar Entertainment, each game tells the story of a different curse that has infected a university in Taiwan. Both the movies and the games take inspiration from classic Taiwanese ghost stories and urban legends to tell the stories of the students (and a few others) who get mixed up in the hauntings.Although the game contains easter eggs and shout outs to the other game and to the movies, The Bridge Curse 2: The

The night air is harsh: battering winds cuts you through to the bone as an unforgiving snowfall blusters. Your eyes sting, eyelashes heavy with frozen ice. “It’s not much farther now…” Just as quickly as a plume rises from your breath, the wind whips it away.You push on, trudging through the snow, to a cabin blanketed in darkness. Your numb fingers brace against the wooden entrance, yet the gentle approach yields nothing. Mustering what little strength you have left, you shoulder the stiff door- and after a moment of resistance you topple inside, a plume of dust marking your arrival.It’s dark.

Simply Beautiful.Lost in the MemoryThere is a special place in my heart, for games like this.Games that speak to the soul and childhood innocence; stories that pull you back to a time of wonder, of discovery, of joy.This is an emotional experience, one best enjoyed snuggled up in a comfy blanket and dim lights.This game is so...Cozy.The aloof and warm feeling that Ghibli movies instill is wonderful, and this is a game that taps into that feeling, as well as the obvious 80s Japanese style and setting that encompasses it.For those of you who have watched My Neighbour Totoro or Ponyo,

Hundreds of weary feet crunch under sheets of ice. A trail of billowing condensation rises through the arctic air, wafting above the line of chilled bodies trudging forward through the snow. Hunger and cold nips at heels of the Frostbreakers, slowing the pace; the warmth of the Furnace was long since gone. The sooner they breakthrough the ice, the sooner they can go home, back to the warmth and safety of that oil-fueled glow. It also meant the sooner they could have more food to fill gaunt stomachs- with the land clear, they could begin preparing the soil for crops. The

The untimely click of well-worn high heels echoes off the dimly lit, drab and dreary walls of the unspecified, yet painfully generic hospital corridor. You sprint past rows of doors, some open, others shut, and other still cracked open with the flicker of eerie red light spilling forth- just about the only color saturating the otherwise lackluster halls. How did you get here?Where are you going?How did you know this is where you should be?More importantly, how did you make it this far with your 3 inch heels still pristine and intact, yet your dress is absolutely saturated in blood, clinging

Rusty crimson stains splatter along the off-white walls, creeping down into the vermilion plush of the carpets, leaving one unable to differentiate between the true color and the unfortunate aftermath of the battle that took place within the halls of The Brootherhood. Furniture lay strewn about, as well as discarded weaponry. Whatever had occurred here- it was fierce and violent, ruthless and left carnage in its wake.But what, exactly, had transpired…? The ruins of the once-lavish Brotherhood Chateau lay in tatters, splintered floors and blood-stained walls still reverberated at each menial sound. It was quiet. Too quiet. Far too late had

The air is thick with the smell of burning torches- hushed and frantic voices cutting through the normally serene twilight. The night was young, and it would be long, as had been many nights before it. Wooden stairs creak under leather-soles, as you make your way up the tower and out onto the chemin de ronde. Soldiers bustle along the narrow path, preparing for the inevitable battle that lies ahead: Swords, explosives, hot oil- no expenses spared. Not now. Far too much is reliant on this. Your kingdom is reliant on this. Locking eyes with of one of the newer recruits,
