Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist Review – A thoroughly satisfying follow-up
Sequels always come with certain expectations. Will it be better than the first one? Can it improve on its predecessor, iron out its rough edges, or perhaps take the formula in a new and exciting direction? You know how it is.
Cthulhu's Reach: Devil Reef Early Access Review – Lovecraft meets roguelike
Introduced as an “action roguelike co-op dungeon crawler set in a lovecraftian universe” on its very own Steam page, the game is refreshingly upfront about what it offers: it’s got retro-style pixel art, monsters and architecture inspired by Lovecraft’s iconic mythology, and relentless roguelike gameplay with all the basics you’d expect from the genre.
The Game Awards 2024 and why Swen Vincke’s speech was the best part of it
The Game Awards 2024 came and went, and as someone who enjoys, consumes, and writes about video games, I felt compelled to tune in – in part to see what games would be announced, and also to roll my eyes at all the silly things (some intentional, others not so much) that generally happen at shows like this. I realize I’m getting old, so maybe I’m being a bit of a curmudgeon here, but I often feel like I’m no longer the target audience for a lot of this.
Promising Indie Game Releases – December 2024 – Deadly aliens and flesh-eating elevators
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.
Death of the Reprobate Review – A Renaissance farce you won’t want to miss
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.

Inside the Minds of Indie Devs – Interviewing the Belgian indie game studio behind warehouse horror game ORDER 13This week’s interview is about a team that’s consistently managed to surprise us with its inventiveness – whether it’s making you pack orders in a haunted warehouse or having you pretend to be human as a disguised alien at a gas station, their games never fail to intrigue.

From warehouse horror to undercover aliens – Roadside Research is the next game from ORDER 13 dev Cybernetic WalrusIf you’ve been following us here at GTOGG throughout the first half of 2025, you know we were quite fond of ORDER 13, a stealth-based warehouse horror game that came out this spring from developer Cybernetic Walrus. It used a simple but effective setup – become a warehouse worker, locate items by navigating the dozens of shelves and rows of the building… and avoid the bloodthirsty monster that stalks the shadows.

As time marches on, GOG’s Preservation Program and Dreamlist are more important than everGare – Friday, May 30, 2025 8:37 PM

As time marches on, GOG’s Preservation Program and Dreamlist are more important than everIf you’re into retro games or grew up in the 90s or early 2000s, you’re likely intimately familiar with the phenomenon of trying to replay one of your childhood favorites, only to realize that setting it up on a modern PC is not always an entirely straightforward process. And that’s putting it mildly. The first hurdle is usually the simplest one: can the game even be purchased legally in Current Year? These days, plenty of retro oldies are available on both Steam and GOG, but the ocean is vast, and there are plenty of fish in it – by which I mean, this does not apply to every single game out there.

Mirage 7 Demo Preview – Wait, this has sci-fi?!Before I loaded up the demo build for the upcoming action-adventure game Mirage 7, I admit I did not fully realize what I was getting myself into. But that’s the beauty of starting games completely blind – they get to surprise you with their unique quirks.
