Silent Hill franchise finally has a new installment in the franchise, and it’s called Silent Hill f and it’s set in 1960s, Japan. I know there were quite the concerns about the status of the IP under Konami and the future outlook of it; I believe The Short Message and Silent Hill 2 (2024) have…
I’ve tried AirPods, AirPods Max, and AirPods Pro. Of them three, AirPods Pro grew on me recently as I began to use my prescription glasses more often — headphones, no matter how comfortable it sits around the head, still has some force on the legs of the glasses. Since the release of AirPods Pro 2…
I started playing Cronos: The New Dawn well aware of the fact that it was from Bloober Team and that it is sitting between AAA and AA, due to its budgets and pricing. What I didn’t learn, and the writers of those reviews and articles have rightfully reserved those details, were the nature of the…
I was waiting for Chilla’s Art to make landing on non-PC platforms for a while; any other successful horror indies have ported their games over with or without the help of porting studios. That hasn’t happened as of yet. Regardless, Chilla’s Art titles have special place in the indie horror scenes of serving realistic modern…
I believe Dwarf II crowdfunding started back in 2021. I barely knew about the first Dwarf device, so when I heard the rumors of the new “smart” telescopes, I kinda wished I hadn’t invested so much on short tube telescopes already. There is something fundamentally beautiful, different even, being able to see through what the…
Dyson has released PencilVac in Japan, Singapore, and South Korea first. I thought it was an unusual choice from Dyson to release it in South Korea early, as the handheld vacuum market in Korea is quite different from, say, America, as the most common types of flooring is simply not carpet. Carpeted floors are rare…
I remember when I played Myst back in the 2000s when it was released for the iPhone. It was one of “those genres” from the 90s that did not survive the test of times; the puzzles can be mildly infuriating, but you had no other game to play. I was in such a joy when…
Apple Watch 8 came out in 2022, and with that, it would render this post out-dated soon as it is published. My point here has little to do with the hardware changes that were made 3 years ago, or the watchOS that were announced 3 years ago. In fact, during those time, I learned it…
The second season of Fears to Fathom series is already underway, and I thought to come back to the series as it is slowly being released on other platforms. Currently, only the fourth episode is available on the PlayStation with DualSense support. Fears to Fathom is an anthology; the episodes are not connected from one…
Would you believe it if I told you I found the game due to its usage of NHK, or MHK in-game, fee collector as a horror? BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH is part of the franchise that seems to be publishing multiple titles this year alone. DON’T WATCH primarily focuses on the Japanese societal issue of hikikomori,…
I remember when Platform 8 came out, the indie market was already saturated with Exit 8-likes, especially with trains, trolleys, subways, and tubes — any kind of public transit that would be remotely reminiscent of liminality. In essence, Platform 8 is late in the game; subways and trains are already tried ideas as Exit-8 likes.…
I believe I’ve heard about My Friendly Neighborhood as a mascot horror and a survival horror back in 2023, when the the subgenre was getting all the attentions from the fans of horrors. The reason why I started now, in 2025, is due to its console release. Though, there is something to be said about…
I suppose calling Order 13 a job simulator would be a euphemism. Order 13 is a horror game with big enough emphasis on the job of warehouse workers. Though I have never worked in Amazon warehouse before, I can safely assume jobs in the warehouse is more separated and specialized, instead of having one employee…
As Dyson Sphere Program is a simulation game still in Early Access without a story mode, I wasn’t sure when I could safely say I finished it. I prefer not to talk about sims that go on forever, as they tend to be more “simulation” than a “simulation game”. Fortunately, the game does have an…
It’s yet another horror game from yesteryear with a ‘find an anomaly’ mechanic. However, Dollmare is less an anomaly game than more a job simulator game. Job simulator is a subgenre which focuses on “simulating” real life job — in this game, a doll inspector. The premise of the game is rather straightforward. The protagonist…
