Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar – PC Review

Schrodinger's Cat Burglar had me scratching my head while constantly pressing the meow button. I’d say it achieved what it set out to do. While Schrodinger's Cat Burglar is developer Abandoned Sheep’s first major release, the game leaves a lasting impression. Available on PC via Steam and Linux, it combines the universal love for cats with genuinely clever puzzles. While it isn’t exactly genre-defining, the game’s charm is undeniable. Meowing For Success Cat games aren’t exactly new. While Stray is easily the most popular game to leverage the love for playing as feline fellows, Schrodinger's Cat Burglar does enough to separate itself from the 2022 adventure game.

Windrose – PC Early Access Review

Cleaning Up! – PC Review

Cleaning Up! doesn’t have you clean ghosts, though cleaning trash can be just as scary. Or so I’ve been told. Unbound Creations has multiple “silly games” in its portfolio, and Cleaning Up! is the newest of the bunch. Quick, cozy, and extremely satisfying, Cleaning Up! builds on what it learned from its previous projects to deliver a low-pressure experience. It’s available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation starting April 15. Mops, Brooms, and a Lot of Trash Bags Cleaning Up! doesn’t bring anything new to the admittedly spotless table, but it does everything right. The game’s charming art style, simple but addictive gameplay loop, and quirky sense of humor ensure it’ll linger in my mind, even when I’m actually cleaning up. Of course, the infamous low cortisol meme song will b...
