Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3 Xbox Series X Review 8/10 *Spooky Match 3 Action!* ⏹️🔼⏺️ 🦖 @StrangeScaffold #IndieGame #GameDev

I had no idea what to expect when I was installing Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, but it very quickly became apparent that I was going to love it. 

A hybrid game that blends traditional Match 3 style gameplay with light horror-comedy elements in a setting that becomes very meta very quickly, it initially feels like a hodgepodge of ideas on paper that somehow works surprisingly well together in practicality!

Discounty From publisher PQube, and Danish developer Crinkle Cut Games 🏪🛒🛍️

From publisher PQube, and Danish developer Crinkle Cut Games, Discounty is the first release from the studio, and casts you in the role of a customisable character who has been assigned the task of running the only supermarket in the run-down town of Blomkest!

From The Website:

Discounty is a narrative-driven management sim offering a 15-20 hour single-player campaign.

Manage your own discount supermarket! Get caught up in small-town drama, organise and plan your shop's layout, and strike lucrative trade deals as you expand your secretive aunt's business empire. Selling more frozen fries will surely heal this broken community...right?

Step into the quirky harbour town of Blomkest, where your aunt has entrusted you with managing its only supermarket. Design and organise your shop, manage stock levels, work the checkout, and strike trade deals. Build relationships with the charming locals, and grow your business empire while navigating community dynamics. Use every tool at your disposal to expand your business, but be mindful: rapid growth might ruffle a few feathers in this tight-knit community. Will you pursue endless profits, or find a way to benefit everyone in Blomkest?

Your aunt has invited you to manage the local store, 'Discounty', in the run-down harbour town of Blomkest. But beware, not everyone wants you to succeed.

Discounty is available now on Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, and Windows.
