FNAF 5: Sister Location – When FNAF Became More Sci-Fi

Five Nights at Freddy’s 5, also known as Sister Location, was the first time the series started to take more of a sci-fi direction, with sleek, shiny robots that could open their faceplates to reveal an endoskeleton made of noodly metal cables.  It was also the first game in the series to really veer away…

Struggling Through the Dead Cells Game Trial

Nintendo Switch Online users were granted a free game trial of Dead Cells at the end of January, a game I had on my wishlist, but had never really looked into very much.  You see, I had heard good things about it and wanted to place it in my list to remember for later, but…

Analyzing the Secret of the Mimic Trailer

At last, some official footage for the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s game, Secret of the Mimic, has been revealed.  For whatever reason, Steel Wool has been especially secretive about this game, not allowing anyone to record any footage of the demo at PAX West months ago.  But just last week, we got a trailer…

Becoming a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Franchisee in FNAF 6

FNAF 6, AKA Pizzeria Simulator, has you becoming a franchisee tasked with managing your very own Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria.  In addition to the usual five nights of keeping animatronics from murdering you, you’ll also be able to buy far more docile animatronics to entertain your guests, playtest games that will earn you bonus revenue, and…get…

Choo-Choo Charles is Utterly Ridiculous…and Kinda Fun

You may have heard of this absurd indie horror game made by one guy.  Choo-Choo Charles is about a monster hunter who’s been summoned to the dreary island of Aranearum to hunt down the abomination that is Charles, a monstrous spider with a clownish visage that has presumably taken up residence within one of the…

The Iron Rig DLC has finally been released for Dredge, which adds an oil rig to the northern portion of your map and a whole new story and cast of characters.

The Duck’s 2024 GOTY – FNAF: Into the Pit

As we do every year, it’s about time we chose our top game released in 2024!  Okay, so here’s the thing…I don’t usually play games until long after their release.  So I literally have one option for Game of the Year for 2024, and that is Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit.  Fortunately, I…

A Little to the Left is a Little Tedious

As part of one’s Nintendo Switch Online subscription, apparently free game trials are available, in which you have a limited time to play a game for free.  I just found this out recently when Nintendo emailed me about a game trial for a puzzle game called A Little to the Left.  I had about a…

Alisa: Demo Review

Making modern games in a retro style has become rather common practice lately.  A major trend I’ve noticed lately are PS1-style horror games.  Perhaps those grainy graphics just lend well to a spooky atmosphere in the same fashion as creepy VHS-style videos.  Wanting to try one of these games for myself, I was pleased to…
