Midnight Murder Club Game Review Murder, Masks, and Mayhem Ever imagined getting stuck in a pitch-black mansion where every sound could be your last? Midnight Murder Club brings that exact nightmare to life—with a mix of sneaky stealth, wild shootouts, and some seriously shady deception. The concept had me hooked right away. Dark rooms, flashlights, revolvers, creepy masks—what could possibly go wrong? Add in the option to play with friends, and it sounded like the perfect setup for a fun (and slightly terrifying) game night. But here’s the catch: it’s still in early access. So, the big question is—is it worth the price right now? First Time in the Mansion…

To survive, you gotta build a base from whatever stuff floats by. As you get your little haven going, other survivors show up to help you grow. The key here is efficiency — you’ll be juggling building, managing resources, exploring, and researching. Don’t be fooled by how cute it…

Sticky Business Game Review   I’m definitely a sticker person — I’ve got tons scattered around my room. I love using stickers in my journal to get motivated, so when I saw Sticky Business, I was really excited. I’ve always dreamed about running a sticker business because it seems fun and whimsical. But this game quickly showed me it’s mostly stressful with little payoff — not as fun as I imagined, though it’s still cute. Designing stickers in the game was a nice escape, and I enjoyed living vicariously through my character. But honestly, running the business side felt limited and frustrating. If you’re into organizing and have OCD tendencies,…

Crime Simulator Game Review Crime Simulator throws you right into the messy world of crime, fresh out of jail and drowning in debt. Made by CookieDev and published by Ultimate Games and PlayWay, it’s a stealth-action game where you pull off all sorts of heists, solo or with up to three friends. Whether you’re picking locks, knocking out guards, or just breaking stuff to get in, every job gets you closer to clearing that debt. Honestly, it felt a lot like Thief Simulator — from the map to how you grab cash and loot. It kind of seemed like a re-skinned version of a game I’d already played, which was…

Bigfoot Game Review   Bigfoot is a first-person action game with a strong survival horror vibe. It’s the debut title from CyberLight Studio, a small indie developer from Ukraine that got started in 2016. As you might guess from the name, the game centers around the legendary Bigfoot—yep, that mysterious creature said to roam the Rocky Mountains. What’s the Story Behind the Hunt? The game kicks off with a group of tourists mysteriously disappearing in a national park back in 2016. While the police chalk it up to an accident, the main character and his friends aren’t buying it. They decide to head out to the park themselves, convinced that…

Batography Game Review Batography is one of those games that feels like a little act of kindness—like a friend slipping you a sweet note just to brighten your day. It’s super short (you’ll probably finish it in under half an hour), but somehow manages to leave a lasting, feel-good impression. The setup is simple, and that’s part of its charm. You play as an adorable bat with a special goal: take a photo of the full moon using your grandfather’s old camera. While waiting for the moon to rise, you explore a quiet little town filled with friendly animal residents. Each one has a small problem, and your job is…

Shadow of Doubt Game Review I found Emily tied up in the basement of some grimy tenement on the edge of town—Etheridge Heights. She was in rough shape, but honestly, I looked worse. I’d been tearing around the city since 4 p.m. after finding a ransom note in her flat: 4,000 credits under the bridge by 9:15 or she dies. No pressure, right? I’d been everywhere since—collecting prints, grilling suspects, digging through garbage, and kicking in doors. By the time I tracked down the kidnapper and slapped cuffs on him, I was exhausted, bleeding, and reeking of desperation. I felt like a hero. The locals, however, just saw a ragged…

Oh Deer Game Review   So, there’s this new game called Oh Deer that came out on March 15, 2024, and man, it’s a total trip. You’ve got up to four players controlling deer trying to avoid getting hunted by one player who’s the hunter. Each round, one of you gets randomly picked to be the hunter, and then you switch it up again next round. You keep going until you decide to stop. The deer try to blend in with NPC deer by moving and acting like them — walking around, pretending to munch on grass and all that. But here’s the catch: deer have a hunger meter and…

Teacup Game Review   Teacup is a short and sweet little adventure game that’s all about relaxing and exploring at your own pace. You play as a shy, quiet frog named Teacup who’s on a mission to gather ingredients for her upcoming tea party. That’s pretty much the whole setup — and it’s honestly kind of perfect. Set in the charming little town of Little Pond, the game invites you to slow down and just enjoy the moment. You’ll wander through soft pastel environments filled with gentle acoustic music, cozy animal homes, and little clues pointing you toward different types of tea. Everything about this place feels hand-crafted and peaceful…
