An action-packed title that has you customize your mech with a variety of weapons and upgrades in order to defeat legions of monsters, Time Treker and its difficulty felt somewhat daunting to me when I first tried it earlier this year. However, once I overcame those initial hurdles, I found myself warming up to the game quite a bit.
The Thaumaturge follows the life of Wiktor Szulski, a supernatural demon-tamer who finds himself investigating the death of his father while getting caught up in the political machinations of the city.
Taking place in the city of Ge’shan in late 2016, the game’s narrative will focus on a peculiar missing person’s case that eventually leads into some paranormal mysteries and the myth of the so-called Land Beneath.
Inspired by the unique and unmistakable visuals of the PlayStation 1 era, the game will invite you on an adventure into an ever-changing realm of fallen kingdoms and otherworldly dangers as you attempt to end the reign of the dreaded Tyrant.
Starring a young girl with fuzzy memories who washes up on a mysterious island teeming with bizarre abominations, the game will have you explore your surroundings and solve puzzles while taking a deep dive into a world that’s delightfully grotesque, in a Junji Ito/Silent Hill kind of way.
Welcome to GTOGG’s December 2024 edition of Promising Indie Game Releases, where we highlight indie and non-mainstream titles that we believe deserve your attention – in other words, “look at all this potentially cool stuff you might’ve missed otherwise”. That would’ve been too long for a title, though.
Top-down shooters are hardly a new genre (I still remember how much fun I had with Crimsonland back in the day), but they’re usually filled with plenty of action to satisfy those looking for some mindless shooting. It’s just you, your guns, and an endless horde of monsters eager to encircle and overwhelm you, making it all the more satisfying when you unleash absolute hell on them and survive a particularly hairy situation.
When I first started up PRIM, I was intrigued by its art style, but soon found myself sort of... not feeling the game. I didn’t really gel with the setup of the storyline, the jokes didn’t land for me, and most important of all, the main character’s voice acting was, uh... well, let’s just say I really wasn’t a fan of the character’s delivery.

Death of the Reprobate is a point & click adventure game whose demo I had already sampled during one of Steam’s many Next Fest events, so I more or less knew what I was getting myself into: a Monty Python-esque atmosphere, shockingly absurd humor reminiscent of beloved genre classics, and a touch of healthy vulgarity.
