😱 White Day: A Labyrinth Named School Xbox Series X 7.5/10 “Back to school, for a lesson in terror” 😱 @PQubeGames #IndieGames #GameDev
White Day was something of a legend for a long time, I would see many videos and articles talking about it, marking it as one of the scariest games to ever come out.
It was only available in Korea and was so scary that some people emailed the developer to ask them to make it less scary so that they could complete it.
Now, I have no idea how true all the legends are - but it’s always been a game I desperately wanted to experience.

🤖 C.A.R.L Nintendo Switch Ten Minute Taster Gameplay "Let's Get Down To The Nuts & Bolts" 🤖 @CARLTheGame #IndieGames #GameDev
Inspired by classic PC games, C.A.R.L. is a retro-style adventure that blends classic platformer action with quirky RPG and story elements for a quest as lively as it is robotic!
Hop into the shiny metal shoes of the Computer-Automated Resource Locator, a small yet daring automaton lost within the sprawling Kent Industries facility. Brave each perilous factory floor to fetch Tech Units for your engineer friend on the outside, unlocking new areas and abilities along the way. Befriend defective robots in the D.U.M.P. (Depot of Unusable Machinery and Parts), collect items, and beat fierce foes to bring the facility’s sinister secrets to light!
Chock full of off-beat humour and catchy “Electro-Chiptune” musical tracks, C.A.R.L.’s journey makes for a clever and endlessly satisfying retro romp!

🧑🎓 Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? XSX Review 6.5/10 "well...are you?" 🧑🎓 @MassiveMiniteam #IndieGames #GameDev
I think I’ve only ever played one truly awful quiz game – downloaded from the Nintendo eShop, natch – and so it almost feels like it’s impossible to make a bad game based on the quiz show format.
That said, it is very much possible to make games that don’t stand out from the crowd – and that’s kind of the high-wire on which Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader teeters.

Seeing the term ‘roguelike golf adventure’ when I read a preview for this game had me very intrigued, it’s not a combination of words I thought I would ever see, it also combines two things that cause grown adults to curse, break the objects use to play it and utter the words “that’s it, it’s a stupid game, why the hell did I ever start playing this?
Where the hell are my blood pressure tablets… OK, just one more try”

🧩 Infuriating Puzzles in Video Games 🧩
We all have them.
Those puzzles which will instantly make us sag forwards and sigh at the floor.
For me, it’s light refraction puzzles. I CAN NOT abide them. Every time I come across them in a game, I shut my mind off to enjoyment and – with gritted teeth – power through, just to get to the next section.
I’ve - again - chatted to my GF colleagues and they’ve responded with the puzzle types that make them yank out clumps of their own hair and offer it as a gift to Satan; clock puzzles, book puzzles, statues, jigsaws, sliding puzzles...it’s all there.

Voyage is a dream-like video game that drops you into a world with little to no introductions and leaves you to work out how to traverse a beautiful world.
Playing Voyage is like being trapped in a watercolour storybook with mystical tinges of story interwoven into the puzzles that will leave you wondering what will come next and what is going on in this world.
My immediate thoughts went to Journey, LIMBO and Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons when I began playing this intriguing puzzle platformer that leaves you agog with its beauty and the atmosphere that is created through visuals rather than words.

📺🕹️ Thinking of Improving Your Home Gaming Experience; Here’s 4 Tips to Get Started 📺🕹️
So you’ve decided you’re tired of your current home gaming experience. Maybe the games you have don’t do it for you like they used to, or maybe you’re just looking for a more immersive and social experience. Well, we have some tips to help get you started on improving your home gaming setup!
Invest in a better TV.
It might be time for an upgrade if you’re gaming on an old CRT TV. A newer TV will provide a better picture quality and offer features like 120hz refresh rates and low input lag that can give you a competitive edge. If you’re looking to improve your home gaming experience, investing in a better TV is a great place to start. A newer TV will provide a better picture quality and features like 120hz refresh rates and low input lag that can give you a competitive edge. Don’t forget to consider the size of your room when choosing a new TV – you don’t want to get one that’s too big or too small for the space!
Experiment with console gaming.
If you're used to playing games on your phone or computer, console gaming can be a different experience. It can be more immersive and provide a better sense of competition. As a result, you might enjoy console gaming more than you thought you would.
There are several different consoles to choose from, so do some research to see which one would be the best fit for you. Once you start console gaming, make sure to explore all the different features and games it has to offer. You might be surprised at how much there is to do.
Console gaming can be expensive, so if you're on a budget, look for ways to save money. For example, buy used games or look for sales and discounts. There are also ways to get free games, so do some digging and see what you can find.
Invest in an ergonomic gaming chair.
You don't have to spend a lot of money on a gaming chair, but it's worth investing in one that is comfortable and supports your back. There are many different gaming chair styles available, so you can find one that fits your needs and budget.
Comfortable seating is essential when you're going to be spending hours in front of the TV or computer. A good gaming chair will help you stay comfortable and prevent back pain. You may even find that you can play better when seated in a comfortable chair!
Socialise while gaming.
One of the best ways to improve your home gaming experience is to socialise while you're playing. You can join an online community or clan or invite friends over to play in person.
It can be a bit daunting at first if you're not used to socialising while gaming. But don't worry – there are plenty of resources and guides to help you get started. Once you start meeting people and making friends, you'll wonder why you didn't start sooner!
These are just a few tips to help you get started on improving your home gaming experience. There's no need to do everything at once – start with one or two of these tips and see how it goes. You'll be well on your way to having the best home gaming setup around with a little effort!

For the Record - From Sumthing Else to Skill Tree Records "How Nile Rodgers' Video Game Record Label Closed and Then Rose From the Flames" #VideoGameMusic
A huge thank you to Blip Blop for their insight, knowledge, and assistance – without them, this article would not have been possible.
A record label founded by multiple Grammy award-winning musician and composer Nile Rodgers in 1998, Sumthing Records – and the distribution arm, Sumthing Distribution – was at one point the largest African-American-owned distribution company in America, created to produce and distribute video game music.
The label – mainly through the trading style of Sumthing Else Music Works – released music from some of the largest games and franchises of the era, before closing suddenly in January of 2019, with Nile Rodgers’ below statement on his official website:
