Today, we’re looking at something lighter. Lord knows I need something light and simple. Stress and current events led to me getting my personal Twitter account getting banned. So what if I told someone to play Un-A-Live? Bluecheck freaks spout genocidal shit all the time. I’m sad that five years of my life are gone, but maybe it’s for the best considering how Twitter (excuse me, X the Everything…
(Content warnings for gore (because I want you to see what I had to deal with), acephobia and attempted rape.) Five children meet in a forest, ready to try out a ritual. Iggy leads his friends Genzou, Orlam, Gidget and Bucks to shed their blood to open the gateway to Wonderland, a world where all their wishes can come true… But that’s not the focus of the story. Fast forward twenty years, and…
A few years ago I wrote about Eidolon POP and ROCK, the duology of RPGs based on the tabletop game, Eidolon: Become Your Best Self. Since I originally wrote about it, Eidolon’s worked on a new exciting format change that’s also led to some other games like Eidolon QUEEN, a Tactics Ogre-like by Arcadia Girl and Arcane Crystal’s Trauma Center throwback, Eidolon OYSTER. But, the most exciting of…
The dream world of Paradiso draws victims into its domain, where Marked children are attacked by nightmares – monstrous manifestations of their fears and traumas. A young person named Lucah had managed to overcome their problems and leave the dream, but others still wander Paradiso. Their former rival Christian takes the stage, believing that if he fights the religious Sanctum that underlines the…
I had been looking forward to the grand opening of the casino, and at 7 AM, I almost immediately bought my way in. I played and played as much fucked up poker as I could, even only getting 5 hours of sleep. Then the next morning, I looked at my stats: I already spent 8 hours in it. This is the time sink in the casino known as Balatro. Balatro is a hot new game by LocalThunk, which is a poker…
I was originally planning to write about something else. However, I saw that Steam Next Fest was running and hey, I figured that I should check a few games out with a partner and write about it before it ends. The current iteration of Steam Next Fest ends on the 12th, so consider checking that out if you haven’t already. Kicking things off, let’s talk about Balatro, which has probably been the…
Love-de-Lic was a Japanese game company that, while small and niche, left behind a strong legacy. Their defining work was Moon: Remix RPG Adventure, a quirky subversive take on the RPG genre. Beyond former parts of the company splitting off to contribute to further works (with designer Yoshiro Kimura founding indie studio Onion Games), Moon was a big inspiration for Undertale, which in itself has…
At the very start of 2023, I put out my thoughts on Fear & Hunger, which wound up being the most read thing in the year here. A large contributing reason to this is that popular YouTuber Super Eyepatch Wolf made a video on Fear & Hunger a few months after. Miro Haverinen’s 2018 game went from a niche title – even by RPG Maker standards – to a cult classic hit and a new face for RPG Maker…
This was written by Fabby Bear Garza. Images used was also provided by her. Consider following up on her other work. I am putting the final touches on my ninth tarot card: a pair of potted plants framing an old gentleman as he sits on a pier over purple water, with a red sky behind him. Once completed, its name is shown to me. This is The Memory. I am told it represents mercy, wellness,…
Been a while since I updated. Besides working on my own thing (which now has a Steam store page, shhh) and dealing with the holiday uptick in activity at my day job, my hands are getting fucked up again. I’ve been to the doctor and the most likely problem is high cholesterol, and the cold weather certainly isn’t helping the circulation problem. Even now, typing is a chore, but everything being a…
We’re having a normal one, aren’t we folks? It’s been a while, but I finished up Rise of the Third Power, which I checked out a bit ago. How do I feel about it? Uhhh, definitely better than Ara Fell, but I do have problems, and my problems are largely influenced by current events. I’ll talk about it in a bit. Playing Rise of the Third Power was still good. Still a pretty competent experience.…
I Hate You, Please Suffer is coming out in December!
I Hate You, Please Suffer is the journey of a recently unemployed woman breaking into a fresh new adventuring career! She makes new friends, fight weirdos, grapple with the city's past of necromancy, and goes fishing in an open RPG. Pay your rent, no matter the cost!
Wishlist the game here, and if you want to get a free taste of the action, check out the Basic version, an early version that's roughly half the content you'll find in Complete!
Sometimes, you gotta take a break and play a video game with a loved one. Then sometimes, you gotta turn that good time into Content(TM) because the grind never stops. Across the Obelisk is a turn-based deckbuilder by Dreamsite Games and published by Paradox Interactive. Four assorted heroes travel across the land of Senenthia to look for a missing princess, who disappeared around a completely…
We’re back to talking indie RPGs, but we’re not following up on the one I talked about last time. Because I’m a fucked person, I’ve been playing another RPG, so let me share that one! Rise of the Third Power? Darkest Dungeon? Don’t worry about it. Today we’re looking at Quester, by Thousand Games. The world is post-apocalyptic, with a poisonous atmosphere and monsters roaming around. But despite…
I’ve been poking at an indie RPG for the past few weeks while I’ve been suffering hand problems keeping me from playing anything too intensive. Ordinarily, I’d wait until I’m done to write something, but this site desperately needs content. So, I thought that I should go back to what I did with longer games back then by making a post with impressions and make a later post when I’m done to talk…
I’m sorry that I have not really updated in a while. I’m too busy feeling fucked up by life. having my hands turn to shit from blood circulation problems, and working on my own thing to set time aside for games lately. Pretty cool that the major I spent four years of my life in is pretty much useless without connections, given that the money men behind most publications are fucking them over to…
I haven’t really played anything for Indie Hell Zone, as per what I wrote last time. However! I’ve been casually playing a game over stream with somebody over the past few weeks that’s a perfect fit for this blog. So I thought, “hey, why not write about my thoughts so far?” While I’m falling into the trap of turning my life into Content™, this is content I enjoy. This write-up is based on my…
