I just finished recording the playthrough for the last Halloween video. No one has guessed what it is yet, btw. The video should be finished and out to patrons by the middle of next week. But now, I don't know what to do next, so I'll put it to a vote. This is the first Patreon poll for the channel.
Some people may not ...

I didn't set out to make an hour-plus video about Kuon... But here we are. This game really grabbed hold of me in a way that I didn't anticipate. I ended up completing 2 playthroughs on different difficulty settings, and racking my brain going over all of the details of the story.
I hope you enjoy this one, and I still ...

It feels good to get Halloween underway in a classic, gothic style with a game inspired by the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe. And the Collection Chamber comes through yet again with this obscure blast from the past. This was a fun one to play through, especially while reading the Poe stories alongside it.
I also had ...

So this video is pretty weird and probably something I'll never have a chance to do again. It's actually more about the artbook/dream diary that came with LSD Dream Emulator when it was originally released in Japan back in 1998.
One of the devs had been keeping a dream diary, and they published excerpts from it along wi...

Here's a pair of point-and-click adventure games from the creator of LSD Dream Emulator--the always unpredictable Osamu Sato. Like Cosmology of Kyoto, I found both of these gems on The Collection Chamber (download links in the video description). The Collection Chamber is quickly becoming my go-to site for abandoned and obscu...

Ok, well, I got a little obsessed and just went ahead and finished the video. Cosmology of Kyoto is a point-and-click horror educational game about ancient Japan. Learn Japanese history and culture and exorcise some demons along the way. I really had fun making this one, so I hope you enjoy it!
As for the next video, I'...

I made a YT community post, but also wanted to update here of course. The next video is taking longer than expected. I'd say I'm about halfway done with the editing, so unfortunately it won't be done this week. The editing is going smoothly, just taking longer than expected. So the plan right now is to have it done and availa...

Disillusion is one of the games I covered in the recent indie dungeon crawler video. It's a strange, straaaange game that not many people have played, so I want to get the word out and hopefully get more people to dive in and pick apart its mysteries. There's still a lot left to uncover.
Next time, I'm planning a retro ...

Duel Corp. is a new Souls-like from a two-man dev team called Dreameffect Entertainment. It puts an interesting spin on that style though--not only with its cute, superdeformed anime characters. It also has a unique take on combat, with you needing to attack and block in different directions to avoid damage. Makes for more sw...

A sequel of sorts to the Upcoming Indie Dungeon Crawlers video from a few weeks back. Some people in the comments of that one mentioned that a list of dungeon crawlers that are out now would be cool, and I agreed with them. As I was making this video, I thought of about a dozen more that could have been included on this list,...

But as I was working on this video, it made me realize that I should really be going all ...

Got another indie preview for everyone. The Lunar Effect is inspired by Silent Hill and Resident Evil, with a dash of old-school adventure game puzzle solving thrown in for good measure. There's a demo on Steam, and it's fairly short, so a good one to check out when you've got like 30 minutes on your hands.
Next, ...

I actually started working on this Blood Omen review at the end of last month, and it ended up being the longest video that I've made so far. But I think it's warranted. Legacy of Kain is a rich series, and Blood Omen not only has a dense story but also one hell of a development history. It seemed like a nightmare to work on ...

Death Trash is a disgusting little action RPG that's currently in Early Access on Steam. It takes a lot of inspiration from old school Fallout with its world and character building, but it's definitely its own thing. Lots of body horror and weird transhumanist themes in this one.
Early Access can sometimes feel like a g...

So Enemy Zero is still the next REVIEW, but I played the Lies of P demo over the weekend and wanted to throw my two cents into the ring. Because I'm a content man, shoveling cultural snow, pushing it around, just a thrall to the algorithm...
Either way, Lies of P is awesome, and you should check it out. Enemy Zero later...

D2 is finally complete. This one was quite a doozy and the longest video I've done so far. I had a lot to say, not all of it positive, but overall I did really like this game. Next is Enemy Zero, the final part of this unofficial Kenji Eno trilogy. Until then....

D is from the mad genius Kenji Eno. If you're a fan of early FMV horror games, then this is going to be quite a treat.
It's actually the first of an unofficial trilogy, and I'll be covering the other 2 games shortly. Time to get back to work on them, I guess. Hope you all enjoy.

Broken Reality is here. This is the longest video yet! Does that mean anything? Not really. But Broken Reality is an excellent game that everyone should try. If you don't mind a bit of story commentary, then you're probably safe watching into the Story spoilers section. I give another warning in there when I talk about the en...

This video caused me quite a bit of strife making. First, there were the problems actually finishing the game because of a bug, which forced me to steal someone else's footage for the last 5 minutes of the game. Then there were issues with my video editing software.
I think this game really is cursed.
