Ordinarily, I wouldn’t consider a game of hide and seek to be particularly terrifying. After all, it’s a pretty simple game pretty much everyone played as children that normally has no consequences whatsoever. But apparently, that all goes out the window when I’m playing a game as a little child hiding under a bed as long arms snake through an open door to try to grab me. Because I kid you all not, I spent a lot of that experience…
If you’ve been a follower of mine for a while, you may recall that I’m a fan of the cosmic horror genre. The very first game that started my streaming career, such as it is, was The Secret World (now Secret World Legends): a game that maintains that every urban myth and legend is true, all while mixing in a lot of cosmic horror. As a result, any time I’m presented with a game that allows me to go back…
When it comes to horror games, I am a notorious scaredy-cat. You may look at this statement and question why exactly I’m streaming eight horror games this year given that, but I actually did this to myself. In December 2021, my stream team and I were doing some fundraising, and while I had set up eight horror games on a list of potential games to play when my campaign hit certain donation milestones, I certainly didn’t anticipate hitting all of…

While I did enjoy it, the game does deal with some fairly heavy themes, and depending on a few of the choices you can make while playing, it can absolutely take a toll on your mind. So, yes, I was absolutely looking forward to playing DARQ after that. Although it is very much a psychological game, the spookiness…
This may not come as much of a surprise to you, dear readers, but I’m something of a scaredy-cat. For me to willingly attempt to complete a horror game, let alone stream it for an audience to enjoy, is something of a rarity, so much so that I only ever break out the horror games for special occasions. Like raising funds for charity and including my playing them as donation incentives. This is basically why I’m going to be playing…
If you’ve been hanging around here on the blog since August, you know just how excited I’ve been for the tiny multiplayer online RPG Book of Travels. It finally came into Early Access on October 11, and, as I’m sure you can imagine, I was just as excited the day it launched onto Steam. We’ve had Book of Travels for almost two weeks now, and I thought this would be a good time to record my thoughts on the game…
