Blaugust Day 3 is here, and I'm late since I struggled with putting my thoughts into words. "What are some key sources of media (games/movies/etc.) that have shaped your worldview?" I do not like this prompt. My worldview is based on all the experiences that I accumulated over the course of the last 21 years... Continue Reading →
"What is some popular piece of content/media that seems to be universally loved that you have never been able to understand?" - That's today's prompt, "hosted" by @Dragonray over at AzerothianLife. In their post, Dragon actually talked about Game of Thrones and I completely agree with her views. I personally only have watched the first... Continue Reading →
Blaugust is here! I mean, August is here! Alas, here's the first prompt by Belghast: "If you could change anything about one of your core fandoms, what would it be?" - and I'm already confused. My issue with this one is that I don't think I'm part of really any fandom... at least I'm no... Continue Reading →
I forgot to pause July's Humble Choice so here's what I got this month - actually wasn't too bad, so that's quite awesome! As far as June went: I did get the bundle but I forgot to post about it and with exams and everything going on, I ended up not caring enough about it.... Continue Reading →
Welcome to another Stray Sheep. Today I'll talk about the upcoming Blaugust event, my participation in that, and other things. I hope you enjoy this post! Let's get right into it: It's nearly August and therefore it's time for Blaugust. But since we already participated in Blapril just a few months ago, Bel thought of... Continue Reading →
As a kid, I used to watch "Takeshi's Castle" whenever I came home from school and I loved it. Both the candidates and the commentary were hilarious. The game modes were extremely cool as well… and then there was the final round against Takeshi himself where everyone storms the castle and it was just great!... Continue Reading →
At last year's GamesCom I interviewed Ngoc Vu, the lead artist from Route 59, who at the time worked on Necrobarista. Now that the game is out I got a key for review purposes and, well,… TLDR: I love it. It's a great game. Why? Find out here! Developer: Route 59 Publisher: Route 59, Coconut... Continue Reading →
If you've seen "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", "The Ant Bully", or "Antz", you might like the following title. In Obsidian Entertainment's "Grounded" you're playing as one of four kids, shrunk to the size of insects and other small critters. You get to roam a lawn, exploring vast grass-steam forests while scavenging and foraging for... Continue Reading →
Hyper Scape is apparently "the new shit". Though developed by Ubisoft, it seems to become rather popular as it introduces interesting mechanics to the BR-game genre. Here are my thoughts on it so far. It's a fast-take and less RNG-dependant take on the BR-genre and while I personally am not a fan of Ubisoft or... Continue Reading →
To The Moon! We've kind of forgotten about that, haven't we? Well, I haven't. I was just really busy... and didn't really feel like playing the game. Act 2 was dragging on for so long and Act 3 wasn't too surprising either and also felt quite boring so I stopped streaming the game (as it... Continue Reading →
Lillia is going to be next skirmisher-type jungler in the Rift. Today's post is a small guide on how to get Lillia's Haiku, an item that saves you 7800 BE and unlocks the champion for you on the next patch. But who is Lillia? Well,… I don't really know too much about her. She's a... Continue Reading →
In the past, I've talked about my core beliefs and ideals already. It has lead to the decision to not review Heartbeat, for instance, because I wouldn't want to review and promote a game that is made by people actively harming others... But as time went on, I noticed that my thinking may be flawed.... Continue Reading →
Not too long ago, we've taken a look at Omensight, a game made by Spearhead. Omensight combined a beautiful world and a lot of different characters with some cool mystery-solving mechanics and some insanely fun combat! This time around, we're taking a look at its spiritual predecessor, Stories: The Path of Destinies! Strap on for... Continue Reading →
Mortal Shell is a deep action-RPG that tests your sanity and resilience in a shattered world. Your adversaries spare no mercy, with survival demanding superior awareness, precision, and instincts. Possess lost warriors, track down hidden sanctums of the devout, and face formidable foes. And well,... the Beta/Demo of it arrived not too long ago and... Continue Reading →
I've enjoyed my fair share of shop or tavern keeping simulations from Recettear to Moonlighter to Shoppe Keep 1 & 2, so it was a bit of a no-brainer for me that I'd try out the demo for Traveller's Rest. But what exactly is Traveller's Rest? In Traveller's Rest, you take charge of a rundown... Continue Reading →
In today's Indietail, we're talking about „Before I Forget“ by 3-Fold Games, a one-hour-long narrative experience, that shows us the story of Suni and Dylan Appleby. Developer: 3-Fold Games Publisher: 3-Fold Games Release Date: July 16th, 2020 Genres: Indie, Exploration, Walking Simulator, Narrative, Adventure Reviewed on: PC Available for: PC Copy received from Humble Choice....

Another interesting title that caught my eye during the Steam Game Festival (Summer Edition) was Cicle Interactive's "Automaton", which is planned to be released on August 3rd 2020! It's a Puzzle-Adventure set in a post-apocalyptic desert world where a small little robot ventures out in search for fuel. You explore abandoned bunkers, stations and other... Continue Reading →
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 →
Today, we're interviewing Forrest Downling from The Molasses Flood about their upcoming game, Drake Hollow!
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 →
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 →
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.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
