Have you been a fan of any games which have weighed heavily on the detective theme? Let us know in the comments below! Gameplay As you boot up Blood on the Thames, you are introduced to a rather busy looking menu. From its music to the style of choice for its graphics, it all feel...

Go Home Annie – PC Review

Misfit Village brings us their new game set in the SCP Universe. It’s named Go Home Annie and has us step into the shoes of D-level personal who attempts to uncover some harsh truths. The game is available right now on Steam for £16.75. Please be aware this article contains gifs that may include flashing lights and patterns Annie are you okay? I’ve always loved the SCP Foundation lore, although I wouldn’t say I know it extensively. Its main appeal to me is the actual SCPs. An SCP is an object, creature, anomaly, or humanoid that breaks the rules of nature. Some of my favourites are: SCP-024, SCP-3000, and SCP-662. So it’s rare I see a single-player game based in that universe. I’ve only played one so far, as the others are multiplayer. I’d love to know what your favourite SCP is ...

The Cabin Factory – PC Review

The Cabin Factory is a short-run horror game from International Cat Studio in which you play as a woman inspecting cabins for ghosts. Similar to games like PT, I would class it as a spooky walking simulator game full of spooks and scares. I (somehow) managed to correctly process 8 cabins and get through to the end of the game and I'm here to press the button on whether it's worth adding to your Steam library even at the low introductory cost of £2.24! Don't book any of these cabins for your next holiday! Gameplay The job is simple. Start your day, inspect cabins and ensure they're not haunted. After a legal dispute, it's now necessary to make sure there are no anomalies hiding behind the curtains of the cabins that are being sold. If you think there's nothing wrong, press the green b...

Completely Stretchy is a first person narrative that offers a 3D open world exploration of three Grombi Islands. It is the latest release by developer Warp Digital, published by Super Rare Games, originating from the mind and creativity of Dan Ferguson. Forewarning, this review will contain many puns and I am not sorry about it. Completely Stretchy is available to play on Steam as of right now! HAVE YOU BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AT WORK THAT WASN'T YOUR FAULT? Gameplay You're a Grombi, this world's local resident. What IS a Grombi, I hear you ask? Well, a Grombi can take many glorious forms. You can come across a Grombi that almost mimics Mike Wazowsky but with arms extending out of their head. Or maybe, they're just a big blob with eyes. Size is no issue in the land of Grombis. After an...

Murky Divers – PC Review

Ember Studios ironically brings us an underwater, online cooperative, looting game called Murky Divers. From what I’ve heard, it shares a lot of similarities to Lethal Company. I haven’t played Lethal Company because of the space setting. Underwater is more my thing, because, it is similar to space but more, well, “murky”. You can purchase it for £6.99 right now on Steam. The release for 1.0 will be launching shortly on the 12th of December, giving you something to look forward to. Warning: some GIFs used in this article might have flashing images. “Every dive is a new adventure.” – Philippe Cousteau Jr. Some of the Thumb Culture team and I gave the game a go to bring you this review, but if you prefer to go in blind then what are you doing here?! Go buy the game! Gameplay ...
