Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is one of my favorite games of all time. Released all the way back in 2004 by the now-defunct Troika Games (on the very same day as Half-Life 2, no less!), Bloodlines was a genuine diamond in the rough.
So, as we all know, there are new video games being developed all the time, every day. This doesn’t just apply to the AAA industry; it also very much affects the indie scene. There are tons and tons of new and exciting indie games being shown off, and honestly, it’s probably impossible to keep track of every single one, so I’m not even going to try.
What is this game…? Well, I’m still trying to wrap my head around that as I’m sitting here and trying to collect my thoughts, having just played Mama’s Sleeping Angels with a couple of friends for two hours straight. This is a project its developer describes as a “Y2K dream-exploration game”, though “nightmare” is probably a more accurate word to use here, considering some of the things I’ve come across.
If you’ve been browsing social media and reading news, you’ve likely noticed that AI has been with us for a while now. It’s seeped into our everyday lives, and it continues to be a source of controversy for a wide variety of reasons, especially when it comes to creative fields.
Steam Next Fest, the weeklong digital game festival that allows you to try a variety of demos for upcoming and unreleased games, is over. Which, let’s be honest, is a bit of a bummer – especially when you consider that some of the demos that debuted during the event are no longer available for download.
Welcome back to our exploration of February’s indie game lineup! Here are five more games you probably don’t want to miss from the month’s recent releases!
The first week of February is behind us – which means I’m here to give you my handpicked list of the coolest indie games to have come out so far this month. Enjoy!
My first encounter with the work of Postmodern Adventures, aka José María Meléndez, occurred just last year, when, driven by a sudden desire to try something nostalgic, pixelated, and decidedly horror-themed, I finally got around to playing one of the Spanish solo developer’s earlier projects, Nightmare Frames.
Am I Nima’s premise is quite brilliant when you think about it. You’re Nima, an amnesiac young girl who wakes up realizing that #1, she remembers nothing about who she is and what happened to her, and #2, she’s been locked up inside a basement. By her own mother. Who, I might add, views her like she’s some kind of shapeshifting alien from The Thing, a creature that’s only imitating humans.
It’s time to end January with a bang – here are some of the most intriguing indie game releases from the final week of the month! Enjoy!
