Bruma (Spanish for haze) is a lovely platformer with a unique art style about a cat named Luna who must seek out an old lady’s lost memories. According to the game’s Steam page and Kickstarter, you will explore an abandoned city submerged in a mysterious mist, where you can use traps or stealth to deal…

The Last Cube: Demo Review
The Last Cube is a deceptively simple looking puzzle game where you play as one of the most unassuming characters ever. A cube. Silly though it may feel to play as a basic geometrical shape, this game actually had some decent puzzles that made me think. At the same time, the demo’s 4.5 levels could…
Darwin’s Paradox! Demo Review
While the Internet says that Darwin’s Paradox! was first announced several years ago, I didn’t catch wind of it until one of Sony’s State of Play showcases from almost exactly a year ago. Fast forward to the present, and the game’s demo appears, much to my delight. I eagerly dove into it upon release and…
Conquistadorio: Demo Review
Conquistadorio is a puzzle game about a retired conqueror who became a hermit. And I suppose he’s become about as reclusive as one can get, as the demo opens with his coffin being unearthed by some rather large bugs! Yikes! I was drawn to this game mainly due to the interesting art style, which is…
Viewfinder is One Terrific, Trippy Trip
In my post about Keeper, I made mention of my 2026 resolution to play new games on Sundays. This intention actually goes back to last summer, when I resolved to start clearing out my backlog, at least a little. With a glut of too many games to play over the holidays, I returned to this…
Let Your Light Shine in Keeper
When Double Fine’s Keeper was first revealed during last summer’s Xbox Games Showcase, it made quite an impact. Or so it seemed around me. I wasn’t immediately taken with this game that’d become known as “the one where you play as a lighthouse.” While I appreciate the studio’s dare-to-be-different attitude, its games aren’t in my…
The Outer Worlds 2: Rifts, Whiffs, and Friendships
In my first impressions post for The Outer Worlds 2, I asked the all-important question: is the game more than just a pretty face? Now that I’ve completed the game after some 50(ish) hours of traipsing about its Arcadia system, I can safely say that it is. The end. Alright, maybe not. But here’s the…
Croc’s World 1, 2, & Run: Demo Reviews
Not to be confused with the equally obscure Croc series by Argonaut Software, I’ll be reviewing all three Croc’s World demos that I could find because they’re all pretty much the same and very, very short. Croc’s World 1, 2, and Run are very colorful platformers starring a crocodile. Powerups include a helmet for breaking…
The Jumping Donut: Demo Review
I don’t usually do much research when I download demos. They’re free, so there’s really nothing to lose but a little bit of time. With that said, I didn’t expect much from The Jumping Donut, and I didn’t get much, either. I guess I’d kind of describe this game as a puzzle-platformer. As the name…
Happy Home Paradise is any Budding Interior Decorator’s Dream
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise is the DLC for New Horizons for the Switch. The premise is simple. You get a job on a tropical island separate from your own, where you design vacation homes for various animal clients you meet on the island. After picking a location amongst various settings, including mountains, sandy beaches,…
