In case you missed it, I put out a little game review the other day on a great horror/mystery game called The Drifter. Just something for the in between times for MSW, etc. :) youtu.be/SBcB-7EYqy4?...

"The Drifter has a grounded setting, and it has an identity, and those two things are separate" Story by James O' Connor ➡️ https://www.superjumpmagazine.com/wordplayer-the-drifters-casual-aussie-ness-is-a-delight/

"With a compelling, tension-filled narrative and a cinematic presentation style, it becomes one of my easiest recommendations — not only as one of the best games this year but as an all-time point and click must-play."

"As someone born just before the turn of the 21st century, I have zero nostalgia for point-and-click adventure games, and zero nostalgia for Australian grindhouse cinema." "And yet The Drifter... has come to be one of the best games I’ve played this year." thisweekinvideogames.com/review/the-d...

"...a thrill ride from start to finish that I’d recommend to anyone."

"...dripping with atmospheric lighting and intrigue, a sci-fi noir vibe brought to life by some incredibly cool pixel art and voice acting."

"It's going to be hard to enjoy another point and click adventure if it's not up to the quality of The Drifter..."

For this week's Horror Bytes, Safe Room's indie horror showcase, the guys attempt to overcome the analog horrors of @mikeklubnika.bsky.social S.p.l.i.t ! #Horrorsky 🍎 apple.co/3UDFWVP 🟢 bit.ly/40IMUfO @strangesignals.bsky.social @bloody-disgusting.com @bloodyfm.bsky.social

"...sets a new benchmark for point and click adventure titles."

"...brilliant, atmospheric, and deeply nostalgic..."

"...a must-play for puzzle fans. The storyline is engaging, the point-and-click gameplay is pretty faultless, and it has one of the best voice performances of the year."

"...a dark, twist-filled thriller, and it sucked me in like a gripping novel."

Buckshot Roulette creator's new $3 horror game is a dark tale of MS-DOS hacking and IRC chatrooms Inviting you to infiltrate "a superstructure of unethical electronics," Mike Klubnika's s.p.l.i.t is out now #indiegame www.pcgamesn.com/split/new-ho...

"I won’t forget s.p.l.i.t any time soon..."

"The perfect fusion of themes and mechanics makes for an experience that is almost suffocatingly immersive and the darker aspects (although absolutely not for everyone) elevate s.p.l.i.t to be one of the most harrowing games you’ll find."

"...one of the most powerful experiences I’ve had this year..."

"It’s (maybe) 90 minutes, but with enough punch to knock out a rhinoceros. It’s involving, and affecting, and disturbing, but it also made me feel smart..."

S.P.L.I.T Grimy tactile hacking game about getting in over your head with something you don't understand. Some good puzzle solving that makes you feel like a hacker with its unique interface, and some upsetting twists and turns in the 60 min story. At $3, it's worth checking out.

"For those who align with its dark, challenging, and brilliantly executed vision, s.p.l.i.t is a good game worth your time - a digital nightmare you won’t soon forget."

"...tense, emotional, and very strange..."

"...offers a tightly woven narrative that instills a strong sense of dread and inevitability."

s.p.l.i.t - the next dread-soaked banger from @mikeklubnika.bsky.social is OUT NOW. Hack and infiltrate an unethical superstructure in this anxiety-inducing, narrative-driven psychological horror hacking game. Check the trailer, then go treat yourself - it's $3! www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3yd...
