I’ve heard it said, “I’m not afraid of the darkness, I’m just afraid of what’s in it”. This statement rings true 99% of the time.

I like to work on art and writing and was inspired by video games and movies and other such things. I love when I find creative stories and characters, and I try to make my own. So far, I've been unsuccessful, but I'm trying.
The Horror That Surrounds: The Dunes
With so many horror games revolving around abandoned buildings, spooky woods, and loads of dead things, it’s really refreshing when a horror game comes along that forgoes all of that. Okay, okay, today’s subject is not technically a horror game, and yet I still find it to be a good deal more terrifying than most…
The Horror That Surrounds: The Abyss
Hollow Knight is a challenging Metroidvania about a bug who travels to the dead kingdom of Hallownest, which has been ravaged by a terrible infection, leaving very few inhabitants alive and sane. This game is no stranger to dark things, and sometimes it veers off into outright horror. This is especially apparent in two locations…
Ranking the Bosses from Donkey Kong Country 2
When you really think about it, the original Donkey Kong Country was fairly basic, especially when the bosses were concerned.

(Considering…

Top 10 Levels from Donkey Kong Country 2
It is widely accepted that the second entry in the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Diddy’s Kong Quest, is easily the best.

Resonance: Reaching for the Summit was Unforgettable
Some moments in gaming are just so amazing or terrifying or shocking that we just can’t forget about them. Others are accompanied by such fitting music that the whole scene is elevated to a new level. It shouldn’t be surprising then that, sometimes, both of these things coincide for the very peak of gaming moments….
Top 7 Toughest Levels in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a rather chill puzzle game with a wide variety of challenges and locations in which to goof around. Last time, I talked about my favorite levels in the game, and for today’s post, I wanted to discuss the ones that I liked the least. While this game is generally pretty…
The Trailers for Reanimal and Little Nightmares 3 Look Rather Similar…
Tarsier Studios, the developer of the first and second Little Nightmares games, has recently released a trailer for an upcoming horror game called Reanimal. And from what little I’ve seen so far, it looks absolutely horrifying! The game really has that same Little Nightmares aesthetic, complete with tiny child protagonists, an apocalyptic city, and a…
My Dad Becomes a Rabbit in FNAF: Into the Pit
Last week, I shared my rather…interesting experience with FNAF: Into the Pit, in which I explained how I may or may not have accidentally downloaded a version of the game not intended to be seen by the public… Long story short, I was unable to complete the game due to a glitch in night 4…
