Stray is a dystopian, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic adventure game where the protagonist is a stray cat. On a personal note, this was my most anticipated game of the year and I was blown away by the graphics and world building. This game has a presence all of its own and developers should take note. It’s no…
Scorched Skies is a slow burn romantasy novel. We follow the story of Tanwen, a half breed forced to live in secret, and Zolya, a prince with misgivings about his father’s leadership. Predictably, they find themselves repeatedly thrust together and a forbidden romance ensues – one which could have deadly consequences. It is the first…
Neopets: Tales of Dacardia is a free to play city builder, set in the Neopets universe. It is available as a mobile app which can be linked to the browser game for further in-game rewards.

Children of Silentown is a hand-drawn, point-n-click, adventure game about a girl who grows up next to a forest that people keep disappearing into. Our brave adventurer seeks out the truth about the monsters and what happens to the people they take.
Those of you familiar with Failbetter Games will recognise their signature style and universe in their latest hit, Mask of the Rose. This installation is much closer to their original Fallen London browser game and as a gothic Visual Novel fan myself, it doesn’t disappoint.
For those of you who have been living under a rock, Neopets is a virtual pet community where you can adopt, customise and play with your virtual buddies. It has been around since 1999 and most of us millennials created an account at some point. When I heard Neopets was back with a new ownership…
