Call of the Sea Review – Happy We’ll Be Beyond The Sea

Call of the Sea is the debut game from Out of the Blue Games. It has a distinct art style that evokes titles like BioShock, Sea of Thieves and Firewatch. Speaking of the latter, the star of Call of the Sea is Cissy Jones; famed for her work on Firewatch. Jones plays Norah Everhart, the protagonist of the game. Norah has set out on a mission to find her missing husband, Harry, who is exploring the world to find a cure for Norah's mysterious illness. From the introduction, all that we really know is that this illness is manifesting itself in strange markings on Norah's torso. However it's quickly revealed that this illness led to the death of her grandmother, mother and implies a slow decline for Norah herself. As we arrive with Norah she has tracked her husband down to a mysterious i...

Sunlight’s Krillbite Studio Chats To Thumb Culture

If you're a fan of narrative-driven, atmospheric experiences then you're going to love Krillbite Studio's Sunlight, which was released on Steam earlier this month. Here at Thumb Culture, we've had the chance to review Sunlight and chat to the game's designer and writer about the inspiration behind it. Sunlight is a lovingly-crafted short experience from the award-winning Norwegian studio. Inspired by the work of famous Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, Sunlight takes place in an atmospheric and stunning forest. Players explore their surroundings in first person as the story unfurls around them through a voiceover from the trees. It's visually intriguing from the start, but its when the audio kicks in and the storytelling begins that things really start to get interesting! With lush ...

Chicken Police: Paint it RED! Review – What the Cluck!?!

Back in November 2020, the gaming community was preoccupied with the release of both next-gen consoles and the release of various AAA titles. The consequences of this being that an absolute gem of an indie title didn't register on many people's radar. Chicken Police: Paint it RED! is the first game from new devs The Wild Gentlemen and published by HandyGames. The Wild Gentlemen team is made up from a talented group of developers who have worked on such classics as the Witcher 3, Call of Duty WWII and the Crysis series. Chicken Police: Paint it RED! is described by the Budapest based team as an "Orwellesque Buddycop Noir Adventure". LA Noire on LSD would be a better description (incidentally if Noire is your thing check out our LA Noire review here ). Chicken Police: Paint It RED! - Fow...
