Saint Kotar: The Crawling Man Review
Saint Kotar: The Crawling Man is a completely different kind of monster and as far from the standard definition of a videogame as it can be. This is described as an interactive comic book, but one where your alleged interaction is limited to clicking to make the story advance. Without no dialogue options or branching paths, it is a linear experience that serves as a companion piece to the 2021 game Saint Kotar, and the first of a promised series. But is it worth the asking price, no matter how low it may be?Cult SimulatorSaint Kotar: The Crawling Man tells the
Mirror Forge Review
Indie horror games can be a fickle bunch, with potential to be a remarkable journey but quite often dragged down by low budgets and lack of polishing. Mirror Forge has an interesting story and the trip comes with intriguing moments, but the seams and cracks are sometimes too visible to ignore.

El Paso, Nightmare Review
El Paso, Nightmare works both as an appetizer for the upcoming game El Paso, Elsewhere and as a throwback to old-school shooters. You may have heard this one a lot already, with many games that sell themselves as tributes to the bygone era where Doom and Quake were all the rage. Unfortunately, there is so much to choose from nowadays that it’s hard to ignore some glaring flaws and lack of polish, despite a catchy oddball attitude and almost nonstop gameplay. El Paso, Nightmare tries hard, but like its protagonist Luis Rojas, it becomes trapped in a maze of inconsequential shooting.The
