Fractured Minds is a short (as in 20-30 minutes long) game exploring life with mental illness. Impressively enough, the game was developed by one person, Emily Mitchell, who was just 17 at the time and was inspired by her own struggle with anxiety. The game is divided into six chapters, each of which involve simple…

Cyberpunk 2077: Ch…Ch…Ch…Changes
If you’ve delved into the gaming Internet within the past few of weeks, they you’ve probably caught wind of Cyberpunk 2077’s “redemption arc” with its 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty DLC release. I admit that I was paying close attention, not so much for the DLC, but for the 2.0 update – the “thing” that…
Iron Lung: Exploring an Ocean of Blood in a Rusty Submarine
Seeing as I tend to avoid horror games that feature lots of gore and ghosts and the like, I’ve discovered that many of the remaining spooky options available to me prey on my thalassophobia AKA the fear of the ocean. One of the worst things about the ocean is its sheer size, meaning just about…
Resonance: Ghost House
It was with Halloween in mind, likely, that a certain, random thought popped into my head upon starting up Super Mario Bros. Wonder: “What will the ghost theme be this time?” The Mario Bros. series isn’t known for being particularly scary (though Big Penguin could argue with that, ha!), but it has a penchant for…
Spooktober Poll Results Are In!
Over the course of the last four weeks, our spooky discussions revolving around horror games and what about them terrifies us the most have been accompanied by equally spooky polls where you, our dear readers, could participate and let us know what you find the scariest in video games. From the scariest horror subgenre to…
Like Bad Pizza, the FNAF Movie is Fun, but Could Have Been Better
Very little can motivate me to visit the movie theater. A big part stems from the complete lack of control I have over the movie. I can’t turn the volume down; I can’t pause for bathroom breaks. I also have to be around complete strangers and can’t pet my cats from the comfort of my…
Scariest Environment: The Great, Wide Open
You know the feeling. That feeling of entering a big, open space after traversing an obstacle-filled landscape and knowing that a battle against a formidable foe is about to take place. Yeah, that feeling. I can think of no greater moment of dread than that one, especially the first time you encounter such in any…
Scariest Environments: Open Water and Outer Space
The Duck’s most dreaded environments are not of the traditional variety. Sure, I love getting creeped out by a particularly decrepit abandoned asylum or jumping at the mysterious noises one might encounter in the deep, dark woods. But there is something very important that these locations have in common that prevents them from being especially…
Gylt: An Eerie Stealth Horror Game About Bullying
Originally a Google Stadia exclusive, Gylt follows the story of 11-year-old Sally as she searches for her missing cousin, Emily. Her journey takes her through a nightmarish version of her hometown of Bethelwood, specifically Bachman School and the surrounding area. I was surprised with how good this horror game was. Not only was it creepy…
