The exciting revival of old puzzle books in Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective

2 years 9 months ago

Of course! Why did no one think of this before? Or perhaps they did and I've never heard about it: it wouldn't be the first time. I'm talking about turning books, things known for being still, into games, and in the process adding to them. Giving them new life, new energy. I'm not talking about word-books and adaptations of stories into games, because we see those all the time. I'm talking about picture-books that were already, confusingly, a kind of game.

The one I'm reminded most strongly of is Where's Wally? That book series about finding a curly-haired, bespectacled explorer in a city of charming chaos. And you know I've been told I rather resemble him - I always knew he was a handsome cad! Do you remember it? Massive books with massive, double-page picture spreads, filled with the smallest, most intricate details. People everywhere, up to all sorts, every shenanigan you can think of. They might be in Ancient Egypt, a pirate town, a medieval battle: wherever the book's creators could dream up a visually powerful theme. And you'd look at these pictures for hours, probably with friends, until you'd found every Wally (or Waldo if you're American), every Wizard, every dog's tail, and whatever else the book-game wanted you to find.

What if you turned that into a video game? What if you animated it and brought those evocative, frozen-in-time snapshots of chaos to life? Well, that's what Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective does, and it's an absolute delight.

What are we all playing this weekend?

2 years 9 months ago

This week has been one of great import, with upheaval and emotion. That's right: Love Island is back on ITV. You don't have to watch it to enjoy the sentence "I'm Chuggs, I'm 23, and I run a bucket hat business in Surrey".

Oh, also we have a new editor-in-chief now (though I feel the fact that there is a human being called Chuggs is a similar tier in terms of big news). Anyway, all hail Katharine. Please, nobody speak to Graham ever again.

The patch notes for Dark Alliance's first big update are frustratingly vague

2 years 9 months ago

Dark Alliance got its first big update today - and its patch notes are frustratingly vague.

The Dungeons & Dragons action role-playing game launched on 22nd June and was met with a mixed reception, so there are a lot of eyeballs on this first patch to see if it remedies some of the game's more immediate issues.

Unfortunately, developer Tuque Games' patch notes for Dark Alliance v1.16 are so vague, players are struggling to work out what the update actually does.

Sea of Stars Teaser Trailer Shows Day/Night Cycle and Looks Gorgeous

2 years 9 months ago

Indie developer Sabotage Studio just released one more teaser trailer of its upcoming turn-based RPG Sea of Stars.

The trailer is fairly brief as usual, but it’s also one of the most spectacular we’ve seen so far (at least in my opinion) showing the day and night cycle and even how it interacts with gameplay.

It certainly showcases that the art level involved in this game is absolutely top-notch

Kadokawa Games has released another new video, a new image, and new details about its upcoming strategy simulation JRPG Relayer.

Thanks to this new set of assets, we learn more about the star child Halley (shown with his Stella Gear mecha in the image) and we get an introduction of his voice actor, Ryo Kikuchi.

From the tweets, we learn that Halley is a star child and an excellent pilot and intelligence officer belonging to GT Labo’s information division. He’s also skilled at fortune-telling, but at times he raises a flag. We’ll know what that means when we play.

Speaking of Kikuchi-san, he appears to be a relative rookie, but he also appears in the upcoming Memories Off spiritual successor SINce Memories as protagonist Junya Mitsumoto.

The System Shock remake gets seven minutes of new gameplay

2 years 9 months ago

Nightdive Studios has published seven minutes of gameplay of its System Shock remake.

The System Shock video, below, includes plenty of skulking about in the Research level of Citadel Station.

I think it looks pretty impressive - the visuals are appropriately atmospheric, with plenty of sparky visual effects. There's a sense of foreboding, which System Shock should have. We see enemies who lurch towards the player once they're disturbed. The video ends with a quite terrifying fight against a large robot who takes an age to go down.
