I hope everyone is keeping well! It’s the coldest morning of the year so far, and I’m hiding in my bedroom with a jumper and thermal socks to keep warm. We’re onto the hidden gem segment of this year’s GOTY event. This is the episode where I recommend some of the…more quirky games released this […]
Indie Corner Episode 24: Hackers, Flowers and Spaceships, Oh My!
We are officially in November! October was a long and rough month for me, at least healthwise, but I seem to be on the mend. It was also a massive month for games with lots of big releases. The standouts for me were Persona 5 Royal finally coming to PC and the massive Rimworld expansion, […]
Gamedev Interview: Open the Gates!
Halloween is right around the corner, and I have very few plans besides the usual: scary games and copious amounts of food. I’ve got a new interview to share today with you all: a new Stronghold-esque, side-scroller city building game released not long ago, Open the Gates. I was able to grab the brains behind […]
Secure, Contain and Protect, in SCP: Secret Files – A Review
I absolutely adore the concept of the SCP Foundation… You may have heard about SCPs before, but I feel it’s worth contextualising the idea to show just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Created in early 2008, the SCP website is a Wikipedia of fictional content, filled to the brim with fan contributions designed to intrigue, terrify and entertain its readers.
Price of Progress, A Poem about Praetor Jin-Gitaxias
And another of my poem thingies, next on in the Praetor order is Jin-Gitaxias. This one is kinda short and has some weird words… intentionally, I want to say, since I figure that if you’d tell him to write a poem, he’d just use some search engine to find words that rhyme with each other, […]
SpeakableCassie's Ominous October Spookathon: Part 3

Gamedev Interview: Francis Clark (Ctrl Alt Ego)
So I’ve been playing a lot of games lately. With so many out there, sometimes we get amazing games which just don’t get the attention they deserve. One of these games is Ctrl Alt Ego, a fascinating immersive sim exploring robotics, hacking and survival. I didn’t even hear about it until recently which was a […]
Exploring TactiCon: Early Impressions!
I would like to thank Hooded Horse and Firesquid for hosting this event. Strategy games are seeing somewhat of a resurgence in the last couple of years, and these guys have done great in supporting those brave enough to tackle the market. TactiCon is currently available on Steam until the 26th, and covers a host […]
Announcing TacticCon: Press Release! September 22nd-26th
A press release? I don’t do these often! However, we’ve got an awesome event on Steam this weekend and I wanted to showcase it. TactiCon is hosted by Firesquid and Hooded Horse, and will celebrate dozens of indie strategy and tactical games. I want to thank them for giving me the opportunity to help cover […]
Gamedev Interview: Han Zhiyu (Chaos Galaxy)
It’s been a busy time here. So I was supposed to go to the Lake District last week, but a late-scheduled train strike derailed my plans. That might be a blessing in disguise, because this might be one of the most productive times the website has ever had. I’ve spent most of last week talking […]
