A colorful 3D puzzle game where you control a hole that's swallowing a town, item by item.

This week I won't be publishing a new review but instead my first special feature piece, a highlight on the indie games shown at SXSW...

Absolutely beautiful watercolor landscapes and a raw, emotional tale, but didn't feel like there was much importance to the gameplay.

A surreal and eerie experience that only takes about an hour to play through, but will leave you feeling disoriented in a good way.

A perfect blend of cute animals and dark, somewhat grunge personalities and stories.

I enjoyed its beautiful pixel art and its quirky, warm characters, but not having to constantly look for answers outside of the game.

Short and simple, but its horror doesn't consist of gore or shock value, but instead of the unknown that can creep into your mind.

Perfectly ridiculous puzzle-platformer with silly physics and character mechanics.

High-action scenes as well as moments that legitimately had me stop for a minute to laugh out loud.

A freeform exploration through a dark world but with cute creatures, but feels like other games I've played before.

Developer: Greg Lobanov I believe this is now the fourth game that I've reviewed and thoroughly enjoyed after learning about it through...

Obstructive comedy back-to-back with emotional moments felt a little disorienting, but it was still impactful in its art and music.

A satisfyingly catchy classic that you can play with friends, but missed an opportunity to make it look and sound a little more polished.

Fresh and colorful, it doesn't need to be "dark" in order to portray a strange, perhaps post-war world. Perfect on-the-go game.

A series of fetch quests and silly interactions with some interesting characters, a short but welcoming intro to the series.

Keeps you curious and on edge the whole way, with a fun and malleable house to explore along the way.

Flipping the idea of what Undertale was successfully led to this twist and some exciting new characters.

A classic Galaga-esque arcade game that's fun to put time into, but could be greatly improved with upgraded graphics and mechanics.

An "interactive music video" that's short and sweet without too much to do, but has a compelling story with stellar music.

Strongest points in favor of this game are the music and the unique form of storytelling.

Developer: Laura Shigihara I had a couple expectations about this game just from the trailer and a bit of the soundtrack: I knew it was...
