The Joy of Creation is a Five Nights at Freddy’s fan game created by Nikson. Praised for its great atmosphere, effective horror, and free-roam environments, the game has since been acknowledged as an official part of the FNAF fanverse by FNAF’s creator, Scott Cawthon. For the franchise’s tenth anniversary, a demo was released for a…

Unending Aqua: Demo Review
Unending Aqua is another one of those liminal space games that are so popular right now. I have already seen countless games where people explore the yellow hallways of the Backrooms or the tile-covered halls of the Poolrooms, and I was pleased to find a game in the liminal space genre that does something different. …
Lumara: Demo Review
Lumara is an atmospheric underwater puzzle game where you play as an anglerfish deep in the Bathypelagic Zone spanning 1000-4000 meters deep. No, I’m not smart, the game just told me so. During my 30 minutes with the demo, Lumara explores dark underwater passages, which can be illuminated with her lure, and encounters polluted water…
Exhausted Man: Demo Review
Exhausted Man is a goofy game about an extremely tired man (and a woman for the tutorial) who must get his work done at all costs. The demo took me roughly 30 minutes and was quite entertaining indeed. The whole time, you’ll be slinking around in a boneless fashion, including up walls, as you try…
Moolander: Demo Review
Moolander is about an alien in a flying saucer who must explore a hostile planet and replenish your civilization’s milk supply, as all of their technology apparently runs on milk. While I had initially assumed this would just be a goofy game that would make for a good chuckle or two, I was pleasantly surprised…
Cato: Buttered Cat: Demo Review
We all know that cats always land on their feet. And buttered toast, well, it always has the unfortunate habit of landing butter-side down. So what would happen if you strapped a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat? Why, you’d get a spinning, flying cat, of course! Cato: Buttered Cat is…
Fables of Dwale: Dredge Meets Fairy Tales
We were recently contacted by a small indie studio by the name of Pixel Maniacs about their upcoming game, Fables of Dwale, which they describe as “Dredge meets Fairy Tales”. I really enjoyed the eerie world of Dredge, so I was curious to see how this game compared. The trailer showcases a colorful fairytale world…
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…
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…
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…
