Indie games have come to mean so many things to so many people. For some, they're tiny-sized, tiny-budget games that you play between the big ones as palate cleansers; for others, they're the vanguard of the industry's most imaginative thinkers, relegated to working in a smaller tier of development where risks and experiments are still allowed to occur; for others still, they're a veritable zom...

Preamble Well, this is certainly something different. About a week ago, the figureheads behind Wild Arms and Shadow Hearts debuted a double Kickstarter campaign to fund two projects billed as spiritual successors to those long-dormant franchises. These games are Armed Fantasia: To the End of the Wilderness and Penny Blood, and the teams behind both titles have decided to pool their star power t...

Hello it's that thing I've been doing for the last few months. In case you're wondering, I'm still doing it. Follow me on the twitches. Hello and welcome back to another SURVEY OF TERROR.

I apologize for this one t...

Jeff Grubb threw this idea at me on Twitter . This is what I came up with.

It's dawning on me that, for as expansive as my love of adventure games has become in the past decade, one of my favorite archetypes remains the detective format for the way the clue-finding and interrogation aspects of the job integrate so well into the pre-existing point-and-click template. Deductions require physical evidence and information to make, after all, and this genre can afford to p...

Note: The following article contains major spoilers for Spiritfarer. Video games are no strangers to death. In fact, death might rear its morbid head here more than in any other medium.

When those agents are removed from the play space, it's intuitive to narratively contextualise it as them dying because death is wh...
