CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs Review — The Geekly Grind This supernatural mystery from Critical Reflex and Bastinus Rex is a delightful, bite-sized spooky tale.

Carimara: Beneath the Forlorn Limbs from @bastinusrex.bsky.social and @cr-games.bsky.social is a creepy, cozy, mystery adventure in a memorable setting. I love how this game looks. I want more episodes! 9/10

My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social:

I was actually really excited after the trailer. It's a letdown.

The Smashing Machine Review — The Geekly Grind Benny Safdie's solo directorial debut disappoints after the electrifying work he created alongside brother Josh.

I reviewed Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine from A24. I hope Josh's Marty Supreme is better.

Save 20% on Caput Mortum on Steam Travel back to 16th-century France and delve into the mysterious depths of a seemingly abandoned alchemist's tower. Do you dare brave the horrors that beckon you below... deeper still?

I'm working on a video interview of Black Lantern founder and CEO Ted Hentschke. Look out for that soon(ish)!

In the meantime, buy Caput Mortum on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3555980/...

Caput Mortum is a delightfully unnerving horror game from developer Wild Arts — The Geekly Grind This unique inaugural title from Black Lantern Collective promises a bright future for the horror publisher.

Caput Mortum from @wildartsdevs.bsky.social and Black Lantern Collective is a unique horror experience. The control scheme wasn't for me, but with modern controls, the game is fantastic.

Identify strange, mysterious, and sometimes dangerous artifacts in Strange Antiquities. — The Geekly Grind Bad Viking follows up their beloved Strange Horticulture with another trip to the gloomy town of Undermere, this time putting you behind the counter of a shop that trades in occult curiosities.

Strange Antiquities is a great puzzle game with occult flavor from @badvikinggames.bsky.social and @iceberg-int.bsky.social!

No, I'm not a Human blends classic horror tropes and climate disaster into a new nightmare — The Geekly Grind This sngle-player social deduction psychological horror game from Trioskaz and Critical Reflex is a surreal and terrifying tip into apocalyptic paranoia.

No, I'm not a Human from @trioskaz.bsky.social and @cr-games.bsky.social is a clever trip into paranoid psychological horror with a lot to discover beneath the surface. A must play.

Kaizen: A Factory Story is a triumphant return for Zach Barth and his team in their new studio. — The Geekly Grind Kaizen’s open-ended automation puzzle gameplay, wrapped in thoughtful theming and executed with meticulous attention to detail, makes it feel like a Zachtronics game through and through.

The tactility of Kaizen: A Factory Story from @coincidence.games and @astragames.bsky.social makes it incredibly satisfying to build and tinker. If you love automation games, it's a must-play. 9/10.

My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social -

Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk is his most mature dystopian film. — The Geekly Grind Stephen King's story remains a powerful allegory in this adaptation, despite its Vietnam War era origins.

The Long Walk from @lionsgate.com is an excellent @stephenking.bsky.social adaptation and Francis Lawrence's best dystopian film. It's devastating. Go see it. Vote for great low to mid-budget films with your wallet at the box office.

Particle Hearts creates a world composed of shimmering particles that flow and dance. — The Geekly Grind This puzzle platformer inspired by the work of Team ICO and Breath of the Wild takes place in a world built entirely out of particle effects.

Particle Hearts, from Underwater Fire Games and @firstbreaklabs.bsky.social creates a world composed of glowing, shimmering particles that flow and dance as it evokes classic Team ICO titles like Shadow of the Colossus and Ico.

My Friendly Neighborhood stirs Resident Evil into your Sesame Street — The Geekly Grind This muppet survival horror game is another home run for DreadXP, now on consoles.

I was late on this one, but loved it on #PS5. My Friendly Neighborhood from @duskdev.bsky.social, @ducky-dev.bsky.social, and @dreadxp.bsky.social is fantastic nightmare fuel that scratches the survival horror itch.
