So, today's the last day of Blaugust and also the last post about interviews I did at the GamesCom! Today's Stray Sheep features the devs behind Kingdom, Flotsam and Foundation. Three strategy games that I'm quite excited about! While Kingdom has been out for quite some time and while I'm a fan of it ever since the first game, which... Continue Reading →
GamesCom-Interviews #5 – Tunic & Overland
Okay, so today's Stray Sheep will cover the interview with Rebekah Saltsman, the Publisher of a small cute game called Tunic (which, btw, has incredible combat and features an insanely cute fox as the protagonist) and the Co-Founder and CEO of Finji Games and one of the Devs behind Overland, a turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world! You're... Continue Reading →

GamesCom-Interviews #3 – Sea Salt and Elden: Path of the Forgotten
Today I started my job at a nearby school which is why today's Stray Sheep may be a bit later than usual - but then again, I don't have fixed times for my post anyways, apart from daily during Blaugust, so it shouldn't matter. In today's post, I'll share the next two interviews with you.... Continue Reading →
GamesCom-Interviews #2 – Through The Darkest of Times & Resort
Okay in today's Stray Sheep, we're traveling in time as we're not only visiting the darkest of times (in Through the Darkest of Times) and the 60s/70s (in Resort) but also going back into the future (in a short bit about GravityLane). These are the second and the third GamesCom-Interview! Sadly, I couldn't interview GravityLane... Continue Reading →
GamesCom-Interviews #1 – Ring of Pain!
So, for today's post, I'm publishing the first interview I ever did. As for context: I've visited the GamesCom last thursday, for the first time, and not only did I check out a ton of cool new games there, but I also talked to a lot of cool devs and even interviewed some of them,... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #18 – The GamesCom-experience!
Okay, so for today's Stray Sheep I wanted to talk about my first impressions on the GamesCom. In d(i)etail. Have fun. I originally planned to play Bioshock today as "Late to the Party #2" but I should get this small little article out asap since the last day of GamesCom was yesterday (Saturday, the 24th... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Miracle Mia
Today we're taking a look at Miracle Mia by Shademare Studios who've provided me with a review-key pre-release. Miracle Mia is their first game and the studio describes it as "a weird, interesting and fun game". But what is Miracle Mia actually about? That's a good question! It's about Mia and Nia, two sisters, that... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #17 – One Game and Literature Editing
So, today was quite the busy day for me, so I couldn't write down my impressions nor work on another review nor the interview. Hence, I'm talking about the following question: If you had to chose one game to play for the rest of your life, which one would it be? Well, for me it'd... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #16 – Brief GamesCom Briefing
So, in today's Stray Sheep I'm briefly going to talk about the GamesCom Experience! Or rather the TLDR-version of an upcoming post that I'm going to write (tomorrow I believe? Maybe even on Saturday? I don't know, tbh.). So, I went there at around 10:30 am - to the GamesCom in Cologne, which is (one... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #15 – Gamescom!
So in today's Stray Sheep, I'm talking about the upcoming Gamescom-Event, what I'm planning to do and what else I'm currently working on. This is a rather short update since I need to bring my SO to the hospital. Hope you don't mind! So first of all, Shademare Studio has provided me with a review... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #14 – Hopoo Games
This year's Blaugust (and my first to participate in) is steadily progressing, leaving us at a 20-day-streak (including this post) - that leaves us still at the Silver Award but in five more days I should qualify for the Gold Award if I truly am able to keep up the daily posts. Of course, my... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Party Hard
It was another rainy day when she walked in like the Great Depression. She was a blonde that would make a bishop kick out a stained glass window. In a situation like mine, one only grows fond of moments like these when trouble approaches and you feel the thrill of breaking out of your daily... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Book of Demons
The genre of Hack and Slay games is known for its combat, its looting and levelling, and its big and dark areas? Well, yeah, mostly, but there are also games that don't follow that same pattern out there! Today's game is a card-based ARPG called Book of Demons that dares to change up the formula of hack and slay games a little bit and mix it with a well- "crafted" world and some interesting mechanics.
The Stray Sheep #13 – YouTuber Appreciation, I guess: Brit, Cry, and the Cat
In today's Stray Sheep I thought I'd talk about a few of my favourite YouTubers. So, I used to watch Let's Players and video game channels on YouTube since I couldn't afford games too much and also didn't always have the time for that. My first actual PC games were "Sonic Adventures DX Director's Cut"... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #12 – cute not-so-cute words
So, in today's Stray Sheep I'm talking about words that I find cute when in fact they're not that cute, I guess. Also I'll include pictures of cute pokémon drawn by Frostilyte. :) Feel free to check him out (the last time I mentioned Frosti, I ended up saying "she" because of this fella here... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #11 – Social Media
So in today's Stray Sheep I'm talking about social media and stuff. Or rather.. I'm sharing links in this post so that we've got one post with all of it! ...Well, "all of it" until I look into the other things that you can connect Jetpack to. Anyways, when I opened this blog, I created... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Omensight
In today's review, I'm talking about Omensight - a stylish third-person murder mystery action-adventure game with platforming elements and RPG aspects like "leveling, an interactive story, and character upgrades". Dive into a story about intrigue, murder and treason as the Harbinger, a mythological creature that appears when the end of worlds is nigh! Developer: Spearhead... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #10 – Longer and shorter reviews
In today's Stray Sheep I thought I'd like to talk about my reviews and my work process on them. Also I'm going to add some album that I'm really enjoying at the moment to most if not all of my future Stray Sheep posts for you to listen to while reading, so stay tuned for... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #9 – work in progress
In today's stray sheep I'm talking about my collection of drafts - or rather Work in Progress reviews! Image taken from the Hopoo Games Devblog, featuring Risk of Rain 2 I once wanted to write something like an article about the (at that point of time) "upcoming" sequel to Risk of Rain. I followed it... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Risk of Rain
Dizzle, Rain and Monsoon? What sounds like the weather forecast of London is actually something that has to do with an awesome game by Hopoo Games. Stay tuned for a review on my favourite game featuring a great soundtrack, some cool combat and a small risk of rain.
The Stray Sheep #8 – The Aftertaste of a Ban
Today I got banned from a YouTuber's discord community. I'm not going to defend myself or rant over stuff (or at least I don't want this post to end up as a rant), I just wanted to comment on a few things. https://open.spotify.com/album/1yY9R0IjLXGhf3aPb6Y63k?si=BA9t0HdGT0GgmYnHtKJTXQ Let's listen to some micropop today. I like Jack Stauber'squite a lot... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #7 – Questions over questions
So, the other day I got tagged in Naithin's questionaire-tag-thingy and I'm really excited to answer those. I used to follow a blog called petesback and he got tagged in one of those, too, which I found really cool! Especially since multiple bloggers are engaging with each other. It truly shows how lovely and lively... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #6 – League of Legends
Well, hello there, Ladies and Gentlemen! Today we're talking about the infamous League of Legends. It's a MOBA by Riot Games and while they are called Riot gameS with an S at the end, they didn't really publish anything else other than League of Legends, different game modes for League of Legends and a board... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #5 – booklet of ideas
What do I want people to think about when they hear "Indiecator"? What do I want people to think when they read something written by me? I was told to ask myself what my brand is and what I want to focus on and well, honestly, I don't know. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Qc2NCKEgJoSdlDyShhvKs?si=OuT0_NxHSRKIe64m0eYijg I don't want to lock...

The Stray Sheep #4 – Arachnophobia and Videogame Spiders
Here's Elise from League of Legends - with the Bloodmoon Skin Well, hello there, everyone!Today we're talking about my arachnophobia. I'm scared of spiders. Being quite tall and all that doesn't make it better, but a lot funnier for other people seeing me get scared by a thing that probably isn't even out to kill... Continue Reading →
The Stray Sheep #3 – Certain things
There's certain things that I always seem to need when writing. I can't start writing without having my table lamp turned on. I don't seem to be able to start either without having a bottle of water or a cup of tea on my table. It's just one those things. It's not even the fact... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Minion Masters
Today we're taking a look at Minion Masters, a card-based Strategy-game by BetaDwarf! It's a free-to-play-game with some interesting mechanics and while I'm not sure if it counts as Indie, it certainly isn't a triple-A-title! In Minion Masters you play as a Minion Master against others, increasing your rank when defeating them and dropping in... Continue Reading →
Late to the Party – The Witcher 1
Welcome! I'm late to the party, but endure me as I talk about the Witcher! :)
The Stray Sheep #2 – Back to the Roots!
We all know those games that we feel like playing after we've already dropped them for quite some time. Today I'm talking about those.
