Strike my rudder, there's an actual Redwall game out this winter - and here's a trailer

Update: It’s a special bundle edition, not a brand new release Brian Jacques’Redwallbooks were my greatest obsession between the ages of approximately eight and 12-years-old. They’re sort of The Lord of the Rings, but with talking woodlands animals, and their appeal for me consisted of three things 1) comedy British accents, 2) big fights, and 3) big feasts. I couldn’t get enough, to the point that I tried to have one of my unborn siblings named after a badger warcry from the novel Salamandastron....

Who’s up for some dastardly machinations? Many are the horror games that haunt the dark, but it takes a real gift for creepy-crawlies to pull off a horror game that’s set in the light. I’m not sureThe Fabulous Fear Machine- devised by Fictiorama Studios in partnership with AMC and Shudder - is quite that horrifying, but it’s certainly chewing on my nerve endings in an engrossing way. It’s a top-down management sim, which might not sound very scary, but just look at those colours - irradiated and unwholesome shades of purple and yellow, spreading over chunky, HyperCard continents emblazoned with pulp comic fonts....

What's better: Quick restarts, or a diegetic HUD?

Vote now! Last time, you decided thatimprovised environmental weapons are better than skipping across a timeline flowchart.

Now if Kiryu had been jumping between timelines… ah, we can’t speculate, that’s not scientific. This week, I ask you to choose between cutting something unnecessary and adding something unnecessary....
