And by “it”, well, let’s just say, haha Experimental, feature-lengthsimulation gameApartment Storyis not especially brilliant, but it does feature a home invasion that’s stressful in several, systemically tangible ways I’ve never quite felt in such a specific combination from a videogame before. It’s partly a story about mental health, partly about the absolute horror of not just managing aSimbut actually being one, and partly about seeing how many wanks and cheese sandwiches you can fit into a single morning....

Here’s a complete guide to Chapter 4, including how to find Yellow Loong Looking for a Black Myth: Wukong Chapter 4 walkthrough?Chapter 4 of Black Myth: Wukong takes the Destined One out of snowfields and into the Webbed Ridge, an eerie realm replete with some very cool (or disgusting, if you prefer) insect Yaoguai. Unlike the two sprawling chapters that preceded it, Chapter 4 is more straightforward, though it does feature a massive, somewhat confusing underground area called the Webbed Hollow....

Affine day for murder Indie developers love making retro-styled games that look like PlayStation games you rented from Blockbuster and blitzed through in a feverish winter weekend. I’m glad, so here’s another.Cold And Afraidis a murder mystery that aims to channel the 1990s with chunky characters and lots of lovely dithering. You play a detective out to stop a serial killer with a grisly pattern who’s preying on the young women of an unnamed US city....

I do I reckon I’ve got quite a strong long term memory. For instance, I can recall that time I read Stoner on a backpacking trip through Italy and realising that I particularly like sad books. I can also recall the delicious taste of a Mars Delight chocolate bar. But my short term memory, whew. Yeah it’s not so good. And the demo forDisposition, a liminal escape room game where you’ve got to remember how things are arranged in rooms, has hammered this point home....

Fortunately, pizza is a weapon During his tenure as the foremost newsperson of the 1980s, Atari’s Paperboy faced many grievous challenges - squabbling drunks, swarms of bees, the actual Grim Reaper - and yet, day after day he answered the noble call of journalism, lashing his basket to his doughty BMX and daring the treacherously oblique suburbs of Reaganite America. Speaking as both a news editoranda former paperboy, who broke his mind and body hauling obese Sunday editions to the millionaire houses at the top of the valley, Paperboy is my role model....

Strategy games to keep you occupied for years Indie publisher Hooded Horse have been on a roll of late, publishing wonderful strategy games likeManor Lords,Against The StormandCataclismo. Good news, then, that they’re currently running a publisher saleover on Steamwhere those games and many others in their library are discounted. They’ve also just published Direct Horse, an excellently-named showcase of upcoming updates and recently announced games. Unfortunately the showcase itself is 16 minutes of excruciating sub-sub-sub Devolver faux-VHS faux-jokes, but you can subject yourself to it below....

I sure hope this post gets some traffic Do I like citybuilders such asCities: SkylinesandSimCity 4, or do I simply like roadbuilders? I spend most of my time in both those games tweaking the network of roads and junctions that form the veins of my cities, after all, and attempting to solve traffic jams via public transport and simulation-expanding mods. Junxions' main mode takes you through a series of handcrafted maps where you have to use the tools available to fix traffic problems around the limitations of pre-existing structures....

Praise the sun Stone’s solar server project is broadly an exploration of the artistic possibilities of reliance on locally-generated renewable power. Known Mysteries itself is a sorrowful climate change fable in which a woman from a small Canadian town reckons with the dastardly doings of the neighbourhood oil-tech corporation. I’m not captivated by the premise and confessional tone, if I’m honest, but I love the corroded, iridescent visuals, and I’m very interested in how Stone (who serves as writer, designer, artist and programmer) has tailored Known Mysteries towards the server’s capacities....

I keep wanting to call it a regicide-em-up because the accurate Latin is too awkward A year and a day after wonderfulhorrorvisual novelSlay The Princessfirst released, the promised Pristine Edition is arriving this October on the 24th. Like a very loud sticker on a very large bag of crisps, it promises to have “roughly 35%” more stuff in it. It’s a great game, and this sounds like the perfect time to pick it up, especially if you previously pirated it after the devssaid they didn’t mind....

Thought bots I don’t know why we haven’t written aboutMechabellumbefore now, but we haven’t. Let’s correct that. It’s an autobattler in which you plonk down squads of stompy robots then watch them win or lose against your opponent’s army based on the formations and upgrades you’ve chosen. After more than a year in Early Access, it’s just released version 1.0. Visually Mechabellum’s robots are reminiscent of Supreme Commander, but SupCom was set across huge maps where victory had at least as much to do with economy management as your fighters on the frontline....

The winter of our discontent Wartorn sci-fi extraction shooterThe Forever Winterhas had a messy launch into early access. For those who don’t know the game, this third-person helljaunt sees its players wandering through the battlefields of an endless conflict between three major world powers. Mechs stomp past you, ignoring you in favour of decimating enemy soldiers. Bug-like drones hover overhead, scanning for prey. And horrifyingmommy harvestersscavenge bodies from the debris. As a collection of imagery, it’s powerful stuff....
