Casey Beaumaris, a young girl with journalistic ambitions, gets drafted for the weekend by her mother to help at the nursing home where she is the head nurse. The help itself does not entail much. In fact, it doesn’t require any work at all. Casey’s only job is to keep the patients company. And to listen. It’s a task that Casey takes on very reluctantly, but it is up to the player whether she goes on to perform it gracefully or not.Many stories intertwine in this lovely interactive narrative, released in September 2022 by Australian studio Ghost Pattern, but you can

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

Organs Please arrives nearly a decade late to the party started by Papers, Please. An obvious riff on Lucas Pope’s successful immigration inspector simulation, this game takes the satirical approach even further and deals with themes that may be sensitive to some, but if the thought of incinerating, hitting with a spoon, and turning humans into canned food isn’t an issue for you, this is an interesting yet somewhat repetitive take on the dystopian society genre.Burn Baby BurnIt’s a race against time and extinction in Organs Please, as humanity struggles with a global resource crisis. The logical thing to do in

There are worse things in life than working for Death itself, as you will be doing in Undead Horde 2: Necropolis. Stepping into the rotten shoes of the Undead King, you will raise minions from the dead and command them against the hordes of the despicable and untrustworthy living beings, from humans to elves. We all know the living can’t be trusted, so it’s time to rebuild the Necropolis back from the ashes and rule the land in this action RPG with a hint of real-time strategy. It’s as if Dungeon Keeper and Overlord had an evil and vengeance-prone baby, and

Some of my all-time favorite franchises come from developers well established in the industry despite being notorious for cutting corners (looking at you, Bethesda ;P). Now small studios, that only just get it started in this unforgiving business, have it rough enough without a know-it-all reviewer fidgeting in their seat, waiting to make an arbitrary remark
