Spoiler Free I have selected many decisions. I have met many Victory Ends and many Death Ends. Yet there are still many decisions to select and ends to meet. With You Will Select A Decision, Brendan Patrick Hennessy has created a fun and funny romp Soviet era mortality tale for children, translated poorly into English. … Continue reading You Will Select A Decision Review
Spoiler Free Arthur DiBianca's The Wand is about a wand, and that's pretty much it. Ostensibly there is a story about a wizard, challenge from said wizard, and cash prize, but really it's just about a wand. A magic wand, sure, but still, just a wand. Oh, and there's a dragon, too. At it's heart … Continue reading The Wand Review
Spoiler Free I was not looking forward to playing Stephen Granade's Will Not Let Me Go. The description of the game is short: Dallas, Texas. 1996. Fred Strickland has Alzheimer’s. My greatest fear is becoming afflicted with Alzheimer's, or some other form of dementia. Most of my life I have been prone to forgetting words, … Continue reading Will Not Let Me Go Review

I have been putting off writing this review because I do not like Horse Master. There are a lot … Continue reading Horse Master Review
Spoiler Free Grunk must retrieve a lost pig for his employer, and in doing so helps a gnome deal with his past and his place in the world today. Grunk is one of the most charming PCs you are likely to come across, and the little gnome man, a fun NPC with a delightful story … Continue reading Lost Pig Review
Spoiler Free Adam Cadre's 9:05s most notable quality is its shortness. If it were much longer players may be unwilling to engage in what makes this work so fascinating, the fact that a replay of the game is thoroughly satisfying. When following the game through its logical progressions you reach an ending that re-contextualizes everything, … Continue reading 9:05 Review
Spoiler Free There is a reason Planetfall is considered a classic. The puzzles are intuitive, the slowly unfolding narrative is mesmerizing, and Floyd. The only thing that marred my enjoyment of the game is what I believe to be a bug with the version I played, but more on that later. Now admittedly, this is … Continue reading Planetfall Review
