Its spooky season! Naturally, I've prepared some eerie screenshots from the game! Hm, odd. One of them isn't like the rest, huh. Alec has turned werewolf for the upcoming Halloween festivities! Alicia doesn't seem too scared by his transformation though...?

The Video Game History Expansion Pack โ€“ Pitch your story Today Iโ€™m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project โ€” a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

Played through @regularstudio.bsky.social 's MOTORSLICE.
Genuinely loved the platforming, although I was definitely fumbling at the end with the chainsaw walls, there was some bits I wasn't used to yet.

I think my only problem was - I kind of wanted the MC to stop panting. It was constant.

Ghost Vanguard - Dark Fantasy Roguelike Beatโ€™em Up Battle your way through a nightmare-forged dungeon with weapons, spells & relics to create powerful builds and devastating combos.

I must've beat Ghost Vanguard's demo like 3 times but this time was also excellent. I don't even like roguelites but this and Absolum is convincing me.

Every spell you gets you combo better, you can freeze lock the boss. Love it.

Loved Bursh Burial's demo once you understand "oh you can kill guards just not the civvies".

I just really wish not using weapons was encouraged - it always bugs me when imsim stealth games disincentivize using all your tools.

I already loved CrossCode to death and Alabaster Dawn's demo shows what will likely be another favorite of mine. store.steampowered.com/app/3110760/...
My only issue is the platforming exploration being a bit nuts, I got into a lot of unintended jump spots.

Bottom-Up Beatdown: Hostile Takeover Demo on Steam Bottom-Up Beatdown: Hostile Takeover is an intense 2D character action game set in a world dominated by corporations led by monsters! The only way out is up! Become a star solo or share the spotlight ...

Really loved my time with store.steampowered.com/app/3915300/...

The game feel is great, but it needs a better tutorial/combo trials. You need to do some wacky stuff to get real damage done. I never learned it, and bosses took forever.

I think Glitch in general has a foothold in what young adults and younger enjoy in a webseries. Deep lore, character drama, possibility of shipping, edge, horror, crass and lout humor. This one even has a big online name behind it so it has like, three fandoms built in already.
