It's springtime… for spiders… in Germany! (Uh, I hope nobody minds that reference…) Yeah, spring has already kicked in with its sweet scent of flowers and lawns, with pollen flying through the air (I'm not bothered by it), wasps bothering me on my balcony, with sunny and rainy days and generally a forecast that leaves...

Honestly, I've been staring at this blog post for way too long and no introduction that I could make up would be better than the description that Simon Boxer, Reuben Covington, Andrew Kasapidis, Abby Synth, and Jessi McNally came up with. What's that about, you may ask? Well, I'll quote it in a bit. After... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be inside of a giant whale? Or what it's like to manage your inventory properly if you only have one spot? Or have you ever thought about the possibility that a van is currently chasing you… from ABOVE?! Well, if you didn't really know what I want... Continue Reading →
In today's Indietail review, we're talking about Original Journey: A hand-drawn, sci-fi action-adventure where we join the Ato as they embark on a mission to a distant planet, known as the Shadow Planet, to find a certain crystal that can save our own species and even our dying planet. Developer: Bonfire Entertainment Publisher: Neon Doctrine... Continue Reading →
What happens when we mix rogue-lite mechanics with an isometric perspective, an up-beat and rather colourful world, monster-taming and kiting-mechanics? Well, we would probably end up with a title that would be quite similar to Cadabra Games' Adore!Welcome to today's Indietail where we see what this new Brazilian studio has to offer and if their...

Today, we're taking a look at Girl By The Sea by Inio Asano, an interesting coming-of-age story that is different in a way.

In celebration of the #LoveYourBacklog-Week, I was browsing through my library and trying to revive games that I've played in the past and review those. Really Big Sky, The Plan, Among Ripples, Relic Hunters Zero, SpaceChem, Ori and the Blind Forest, and NeuroVoider are some games that I wanted to review and while I've finished... Continue Reading →
In today's Indietail review, we're taking a look at The Plan – it's a short free-to-play Indie Game that I played ages ago and that I liked back then. Just now I started it up again and I just like it all over again. It's by Krillbite Studio who also made Among The Sleep and... Continue Reading →
In today's Indietail, we're looking at a short relaxing eco-system-management-game that is called Among Ripples. In this game, we control a pond's ecosystem by adjusting the oxygen levels of the water, adding new creatures into the pond and seeing what happens.

When I was younger I discovered a game called "Portal" and I just fell in love with it. It was one of the first "better looking" games that I played. The puzzles were interesting, the aesthetics were great, I loved the music, the humour was really dope and made me chuckle a lot, and I... Continue Reading →
A while ago I reviewed Hopoo Games' Risk of Rain 1 and it's to-date one of my favourite games. It's a lovely Indie-Action-Roguelike-title with a very nice combat system, a wonderful soundtrack and a timer that is increasing the difficulty the longer you take to complete the game. Hopoo Games released Risk of Rain 1... Continue Reading →
Games allow us to slip into all kinds of roles that we would never head the chance to access in real life. That's one reason why I like games. I love RPGs as you're allowed to do whatever you want. I can be the support that decides whether or not a party-member lives or dies.... Continue Reading →
I've never been a fan of games that had anything to do with sports. There're football games, soccer games, golf games, and... well, pool games. Speaking of pool games, today's review is about Pool Panic!
Being a student, I wasn't able to fund my new PC until I found this job here. It seemed rather easy: Scout for flaws in the security systems, watch out for the guards, break in, take everything valuable and leave without getting noticed! Sadly, I'm not Kaito Kid or Lupin III and, hence, not a good thief. Therefore, my new PC... Continue Reading →
It's time for Día de los Muertos - the memorial day of the dead! And for that we're playing as the agave farmer, Juan Aguacate, who's helping with the preparations in his village only to find his childhood friend, Lupita, be kidnapped by the undead villain Carlos Calaca to be sacrificed in a ritual to...

Those of you that are a bit advanced in your age may know those old hard-boiled detectives or cops in older crime shows where the protagonist has to take care of cases by the lawbook but in the end uses his own methods to find the culprit. People in my age group may know Brooklyn... Continue Reading →
Spooktober and Lovecraft? Sounds alright to me.

So, today we're taking a look at Cat Quest II. It's a fast-paced open-world action RPG by The Gentle Bros. The other day, I covered the first game on this blog, so I'll also cover improvements over the first game!

Today's we're going on a catventure! I mean, we're taking a look at Cat Quest after all! Cat Quest is not only a lovely homage to classic RPGs but also a parody of the same. It not only mocks the genre but also adds its features into it to make a purrfect game for every... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I bought a game on the Epic Games Store. It came out two days ago and, Geesus Christ, it's fun! Of course, I'm talking about Untitled Goose Game, a hilarious stealth-game (I'd say?) where you pull small little pranks on the people around you and annoy them as much as possible. You play as a...

Howdy, fellow cowboys and cowgirls! Today we're taking a look at Westerado: Double Barreled, a game where we chase a buffalo on the loose before finding out that someone not only burned down our ranch, but also gravely injured our bigger brother, and killed our mother! Our mission is to find the killer and take... Continue Reading →

In today's Indietail, we'll take a look at The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands, a somewhat minimalistic title that has an interesting concept to it... but it's very poorly executed. In this game, you're a wanderer from distant lands who settles down and starts chopping some wood. There's some background story to it but I haven't really understood it for... Continue Reading →

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 →
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 →
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.
