Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication Review

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

Last Time I Saw You Review

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,

The Descent Review

Not to be confused with the acclaimed horror movie released in 2005, The Descent is a trip down a mysterious mine riddled with death, disappearances, and other occurrences that the authorities can’t quite grasp.
