The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales PC Review 7/10 "Prepare to be tossed into the narrative deep end" 📔 @bookwalkergame #IndieGame #GameDev @PixelHunted

The Bookwalker takes place in a world very much like our own, with the teensy difference that writers can not only conjure up entire worlds within books but travel into them and interact with their characters as if they were real people.

You play writer Etienne Quist, a writer serving a 30-year sentence (geddit?) of writer’s block for a mysterious crime. Etienne hopes to reduce his sentence by taking on “bookwalking” gigs, i.e. diving into various books to retrieve powerful items. For example, you’ll head into a fantasy world to swipe an Immortality Potion or venture into a gloomy robotic take on Norse mythology to get your hands on Mjolnir.

Rich jumps into Digital Eclipse's latest lesson on how to make an interactive documentary that literally oozes class. If you played Atari 50 and enjoyed that then you'll adore The Making Of Karateka.

I can guarantee that this game will inspire you to become a Game Dev.

Blue Fire OST Vinyl Review "This is the best soundtrack release I’ve heard in a while" 🔥 @TheMangoMage #VideoGameVinyl #Vinyl #VGM #OST

Blue Fire is a 3D action platformer released in 2021 to pretty much universal acclaim. You play a diminutive warrior battling through the world of Penumbra in what was described at the time as a 3D successor to Hollow Knight. 

The Blue Fire soundtrack, composed by Ariel Contreras-Esquivel, came out shortly after and is available digitally, and on this lovely limited vinyl release via Mango Mage Records, with a couple of exclusive bonus tracks.
