Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop: A Brutal, Eldritch Fix’Em’Up
A fox-headed mechanic. A beaten-down shop on a backwater planet. Endless eldritch monstrosities. I did minimal research before deciding to play Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop, the brainchild developed by Beard Envy and published by Kasedo Games. Surface level, it looked just dandy: a quirky sci-fi atmosphere with crude humor and oil grease. But one does […]
An Enjoyable Experiment Without a Hypothesis: Monster Lab Simulator
Monster Lab Simulator is a game that asks some really fun questions; “if I combine these injection serums with this egg, and then fuse the result with another creature, can I create something more valuable than what I started with?” being my favorite so far. Monster Lab Sim is the the debut Steam release from […]

Luce Spenta is a Bizarre Trek Through Death, Faith and Rebirth.
What would you do with the power to judge souls? Would you immediately judge them based on their appearance? Or would you listen to their story without bias and judge them fairly? What if your life hung in the balance, based on your decisions? So asks Luce Spenta of its players. The answers may surprise […]
Does Letters to Arralla Deliver?
Released in September 2025, Letters to Arralla is the debut game of Little Pink Clouds, an Australian team founded by a newly graduated trio of students. In this game, you’ll deliver letters across the beautiful island of Arralla, solving puzzles and forming friendships as you go. I played the demo twice last June. The world […]
Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion Is Hotter Than a Pistol

Others lie dormant, left to rot until they’re discovered in a sale like a lost mummy’s sarcophagus. Taking the plunge after […]
