By now the Steam Game Festival has already ended, but fear not! There will be more posts about the demos that I played! Alas, this post is about For the People - a game about time management and political choices. We take control of the newly appointed mayor of Iron-1, Francis Rivers, who has to... Continue Reading →
Drake Hollow – an interview with Forrest Dowling
Today, we're interviewing Forrest Downling from The Molasses Flood about their upcoming game, Drake Hollow!
#TwitchBlackout and how I handled it
Just recently I wrote about #TwitchBlackout and my issues with it. On Wednesday, the 24th, I actually went live and talked with my community about different issues and, here's how that went. So, at first, I thought I'd talk about the issues that are currently in the focus and why I think talking about it... Continue Reading →
Looking out for “Critters for Sale”
Critters for Sale is… interesting. It's a weird and mesmerizing experience. I don't exactly know what drew me to it when I saw it on the demo page but without really knowing anything about it, I installed it and started it up only to find myself in some surreal ride full of events that I'm... Continue Reading →
Looking out for “Starmancer”
Starmancer looked like the closest thing to any of the games that I'm usually enjoying and all the demos I've seen on the Steam Game Festival. It's getting published by Chucklefish which fits most of my favourite games… it's a strategy, base-building simulation game based in Space and you essentially play as a powerful A.I....

I’m excited about “Drake Hollow” by The Molasses Flood
It's sadly not part of the Steam Game Festival but Drake Hollow is definitely something to look out for. I'm really excited about the game - and not only due it being made by the dev behind The Flame In The Flood! The Molasses Flood's second game can best be described as a Base-Building Action-Survival-Game. ... Continue Reading →
Going silent to spread awareness? Thoughts on #TwitchBlackout
In this post, I'm talking about why exactly I feel like the blackout-movement isn't exactly working and what would be better. Sadly a lot of the things that I wanted to say were already put into less words in a lot better way by Lowco, so I've linked her video down there and tried to... Continue Reading →
RoboCo – First Impressions
I used to be a waiter, as I previously mentioned a couple of times, and, well,… I wasn't all that great at it. I wasn't the fastest but I cared about my guests. Sometimes I wished I could have hit "space" and restarted, only to add some extra servos, wheels and hinges… maybe some blocks... Continue Reading →
Looking out for “Occupy Mars: Prologue”
I've always been fascinated by space and games that play in space. Landing on some planet, starting colonies, all that good stuff. Surviving Mars is a great game, Kerbal Space Program is something I wanna be good at, and well,… today's Demo: "Occupy Mars: Prologue" by Pyramid Games is something I want to like… You... Continue Reading →
Looking out for “Bake ‘n Switch”
Just the other day, I showed Ms Magi some games, including the demo of Streamline Games' "Bake 'n Switch". She found the style adorable and since it's a co-op game, I thought it might be a good time to try it out and see what's baking! The answer to that is bread. Lots of it!... Continue Reading →
This person rips off Indie Devs and gets away with it on Steam
There are good games out there… and there are bad ones… and then there are people that develop games for the sake of trolling others, wasting their time and money while ripping off other developers' content and making a quick buck off it without getting any repercussions at all from Valve's side. This post features... Continue Reading →
Looking out for “Hundred Days”
Coming from a region where a lot of wine (primarily Riesling) is made, I thought that this one is a title that I HAVE TO TRY OUT. "Hundred Days" is "a game of choice, nostalgia and winemaking", which is honestly a perfect match for me. Broken Arms Games' title "Hundred Days" features different action-cards that... Continue Reading →
The Steam Game Festival!
As a blogger who's kind of focused around indie games and new releases as well as reviews, I always am on the search for new titles that are coming up and worth checking out or writing about. Alas, the Steam Game Festival, Summer Edition, has been a great opportunity for me to do just that:... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Train Valley 2
Do you like trains? Do you like simulations? Do you like resource-management-puzzles? If this introduction reminds you of yesterday's post, then you'll probably realise quickly that we're reviewing Train Valley 2 today and that I'm still as uncreative as yesterday! Developer: Flazm Publisher: Flazm Genre: Trains, Strategy, Simulation, Puzzle, Casual Release Date: April 15, 2019... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Train Valley
Trains are quite cool, aren't they? They look cool and they're fast and it's a disaster when they crash into each other and I lost my train of thought, so I'll just say that today we're taking a look at Train Valley, a casual train-sim-puzzle by Flazm! Developer: Flazm Publisher: Flazm Release Date: September 16,... Continue Reading →

The “To The Moon” Play-Along – Act 2
"It's the second week of the To The Moon Play-Along and alas we're getting right into Act 2!", is what I would have said if I wasn't late with this post. Alas, an explanation: I was not at home to play the game and therefore couldn't write a post on this prompt. I couldn't play... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Void Bastards
What does it take to become a good mercenary? What does it take to outwit your opponents, to survive? What does it take to escape the Sergasso Nebula? Well, according to today's game, Void Bastards, it only takes water, prisoners, and a whole lot of sneaking. In today's Indietail we're taking a look at Void... Continue Reading →
How to not-promote your channel on Twitch
So you created an account as well now, eh? Welcome to Twitch! It's a lovely platform with a bunch of issues but you haven't heard about those yet since you've only been viewing people from afar or you've heard about all those big Twitch streamers before, so you're trying to be like that! Maybe you're... Continue Reading →
Got too many games? Fear not, here’s more!
At this point, thirty minutes ago, StuffedWombat, the developer of Gutwhale, asked on Twitter what long term effect this 1000+ game bundle will have on the people that will buy games/that have big gaming backlogs already... and well,... here's my answer to that. https://twitter.com/wombatstuff/status/1271388336826048516 When I speak of "this bundle" I mean the Bundle for Racial Justice...

Late to the Party #3 – Assassin’s Creed
There are some games out there that probably everyone has already played or that people would deem "Classics". It's games that get spoiled constantly since everyone already played them… Games that are the milestones that started entire franchises and genres. Games that are so great that it's a miracle that I haven't played them yet!... Continue Reading →
Indietail – Clunky Hero
Some heroes are known for fighting windmills! Some others are known for getting tossed coins at! And some others… well… they have buckets on their heads and fight evil stuff to save their wife! In today's Indietail we're talking about the latest demo of ClunkyHero! Developer: Chaosmonger Studio Release Date: March, 2021 Genres: RPG, Action,... Continue Reading →
Indietail – ClusterFobia
There are all kinds of games out there with all kinds of presentations and premises. A lot of games in the Indie scene feature unique premises that may have not been explored all that much, just yet, and often also present us unique and interesting design choices that you either hate or love. Today we're... Continue Reading →
To The Moon Play-Along – Act 1
Ever participated in a Group-Reading-Event? Me neither! But Naithin borrowed the idea and planned out this Play-Along event so I thought I'd participate and also discover a cute new game… and this time around it's To The Moon! So, during last Tuesday's stream, we started off playing through the first Arc of To The Moon... Continue Reading →
TSS#63 – The current situation and my opinion, I guess
This is a shorter longer post and potentially a bit "heavier" than usual but this time around it's about "our voice" and about politics in a way. It's about my beliefs and my take on the matter and everything that is going on right now... and I'm telling all kinds of -ists and -phobes to... Continue Reading →
TSS #62 – On the Lookout!
The last Stray Sheep has been half a month ago already so I thought I'd post something in that section already. This time around, we're talking about categories! Currently, I'm doing mostly reviews (Indietail) since I originally wanted to do exactly that, review titles in my library and work through my backlog. The Gaming Journey... Continue Reading →
