The original Iron Lung game came out back in 2022. Created by one man, David Szymanski, it was praised for being a simple, but effective, horror game that relied on its atmosphere rather than jumpscares. Not long later, popular Youtuber Markiplier began working on a film adaptation of the movie, which finally came to theaters…

Backrooms Anomaly: Demo Review
Two big trends on Youtube right now are anomaly and Backrooms games. As I searched Steam for free demos to play, I encountered Backrooms Anomaly, which combines both of the things I was looking for. While I’ve never actually played an anomaly game myself, I’ve seen plenty on Youtube, and the concept is simple. You…
Hades II is a Marathon Worth Running
Hades II is so good that I’m almost sad that I waited so long to play it!
The Enigmatic Spirit of Cocoon
Cocoon, which first released a couple years ago, is a funny little puzzle game. Though, I suppose “little” is a poor choice of words, because, to some degree, it’s quite like Dr. Who’s TARDIS, in that it’s “bigger on the inside.” Cocoon’s world-within-worlds concept is as fascinating as it is confounding. As I reflect on…
Five Laps at Freddy’s: Demo Review
The demo for the racing spin-off, Five Laps at Freddy’s, was released as part of the Five Nights at Freddy’s 10-year anniversary back in August of 2024. While I have watched other people play it, I didn’t get around to playing it myself until roughly 1.5 years later because of my recent delve into PC…
Hypnotic Fun: Sam & Max Save the World
In my early years of PC gaming, I remember Sam & Max Hit the Road with great fondness. Its absurdist humor and bizarre characters drew me in the most. It’s often illogical (in my addled mind) approach to puzzle-solving in a point-and-click matrix certainly didn’t. Playing the game frustrated me to no end – that…
Light Dude: Demo Review
We were recently contacted by the solo developer of Dergham Games about his upcoming game, Light Dude, a “skill-based action game” where the “level hides when you move”. I recently played the demo for myself, which contains 9 levels and a boss fight. These levels teach you the basics of the game, and the concept…
Bruma: Demo Review
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…
