Undertale was groundbreaking in its time. A game that broke the mold, where you had the potential to spare every enemy instead of fighting them. Filled with lovable characters that you may or may not have chosen to massacre depending on the route you were taking, this game also boasted a jarring mix of quirky…

Sneaky Secret Anomalous Rubber Duckies
Today’s Easter eggs cover multiple games, but a singular topic. Ironically, said topic could even lay eggs. Because I’m talking about ducks. Or more specifically, rubber ducks (okay, okay, so I suppose those can’t lay eggs…). These Duck of Indeed-approved bath toys are cute and silly and can actually be found in a handful of…
Trine 1: Sometimes, Fun Doesn’t Have to be Complicated
The Trine games are a series of fantasy 2D platformers with physics-based puzzles and 3 playable characters. I’ve been writing a lot about the series lately, so this is feeling rather redundant at this point. But to recap, you’ve got Amadeus the wizard who can conjure various shapes and levitate objects, Zoya the thief, who…
Is Trine 3 as Bad as They Say?
When I bought the Trine: Ultimate Collection, I was aware that the third game, The Artifacts of Power, was infamous for being the worst of the series. The main thing I knew was that Frozenbyte had attempted to move away from 2D side-scrolling in favor of making the game 3D. I tried the game anyway,…
Trine 2 and 4: A Comparison
The Trine games are a side-scrolling fantasy series that follows three playable characters, Amadeus the wizard, Pontius the knight, and Zoya the thief, each of which have unique abilities. Amadeus can levitate and conjure items, making him good for traversing the environment. Pointius is better for fighting, with his sword, hammer, and shield. And Zoya…
Road to Gehenna: Funny Meets Philosophy in This Talos Principle DLC
The Talos Principle is a philosophical puzzle game where you play as an android, though my description really doesn’t do it justice. Considered one of the best obscure games of all time, you can read Cary’s review here. I was fortunate enough to catch The Talos Principle on sale for roughly $5.99, and little did…
The Puppet and Withereds Debut in the Newest FNAF 2 Trailer
The second trailer for the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie (in theaters on December 5) released just a few days ago, and it looks amazing! Though I do want to warn anyone hoping to go into the movie blind, as this trailer shows a bunch of animatronics not seen in the first trailer, so…
Boxville: Demo Review
Boxville is a point-and-click puzzle game about sentient cans inhabiting a cardboard city. No one speaks, but rather, communicates completely through drawings. I’ve played plenty of games like this, whether it be When the Past Was Around or The Almost Gone, where you wander around, gather items to use in other locations, and solve puzzles. …
Drowning: Demo Review
Drowning is a short game about a teenage boy struggling with depression. The demo lasts about 15 minutes, and the entire time is spent walking along a path in the forest while text appears. I know the term “walking simulator” can be overused, but there are few games that really illustrate the nickname better than…
FNAF: Ultimate Custom Night is Chaotic Fun
FNAF: Ultimate Custom Night is a different sort of Five Nights at Freddy’s game where you can choose to survive against a whopping total of 50 threats from across the first 6 games. Each of these can be set to a max level of 20 for the greatest challenge. Although UCN can initially look overwhelming…
