Centum is a horror adventure about training up an AI, also featuring a demon catphone

Pony Island vibes Trailered last night,Centumis “an unreliable narrative-driven adventure where everything may be a lie”, according tothe Steam page. Does the suggestion that everything may be a lie also apply to the suggestion itself? Is this an unreliable Steam page?

Harold Halibut review: a sweet, restrained story about finding your way home

Still waters run deep I love miniatures, and Harold Halibut is beautiful. It’s also a lovely story about finding yourself and your place in the world, even if that place is unexpected, and having the courage to take that step. There are unexpected silly bits and strange bits and bits where people break into song, and bits where you read undelivered letters. But, at the same time, I totally understand why some people would find it boring....

Needed a welcome mat Recently, I spent around two hours withShin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, thePersona 5: Royal-fied version of the original SMT V. Vengeance promises many new things: a revised battle system, a new story branch, new areas, and more. What I found when I played, was several punches to my metaphorical ribs. A few to my gut. Sure, I spent some time with the new stuff, but really, I spent most of my time being absolutely demolished in turn-based battles against various demons of a phallic and non-phallic nature....
