Was it Iron Maiden that once asked, “Can I play with madness?!” Well, thanks to the clever developers at Rock Pocket Games and Dreamloop Games now you can, Mr Dickinson.

Moons of Madness is clearly a horror game for horror Lovecraft fans, Insert me!

My approach to playing games of this genre is to turn off the lights and strap on a pair of headphones...I’m already scared - Send help!

Headphones are essential when playing horrors - they help turn the milk chocolatey!

🏝️🔥 Isle of Spirits | XBOX | Review | "A Casual Survival Game" 🏝️🔥 @games_bullet #IndieGames #GameDev

Isle Of Spirits is a casual survival game based on accessibility and simplicity, Isle of Spirits has some really solid ideas but is let down by an oddly rigid, unforgiving end-game and a lack of diversity in the gameplay.

Isle of Spirits begins with your character washed up on the shores of a deserted island, his goal? Escape. 

To do this, you’ll need to build a raft by collecting stone, wood, plants and the like from around the island and lashing them all together so that you can sail to safety.

📕 Liberated | Review | Nintendo Switch | "A well-told story with a rough edge" 📕 @Walkabout_Games #IndieGames #GameDev

Liberated is an exciting and surprisingly involving tale with a shifting narrative that is unfortunately marred by technical issues.
