I'm fine!

Sorry if anyone was worried! I just neglected to push back the date on the 'disaster post' because I've been busy! New content coming soon!

VN Update!

The Visual Novel has now been retitled "Clown in the Woods", and the art is starting to come in! Here's a peek at one of the poses of our villain:

Check back soon for more updates as additional characters come in!

Take The Job - A New Game From HOGuru!

That's right, I've just released my first game!

It's a Teaser for a Visual Novel I'm working on!

It's about a Killer Clown in the Woods! You can play it here: https://hoguru.itch.io/takethejob

Enjoy, and get excited about the upcoming game Don't Run Away!

Who is the Clown?

Do you recognize this clown?

If not, would like to find out what's going on with him, stay tuned for an announcement vis-a-vis his story!

Queen's Quest 3: The End of Dawn

There's a third Queen's Quest game, and as you'd expect, there's no sign of a Queen's Quest anywhere within it! It's damn good, though.

The Secret Order 5: The Buried Kingdom

It's a brand new game in the Secret Order series! It's also the first one I've tried! How did it turn out? Check out the review to find out-

Statue of Liberty: The Lost Symbol

It's another Microids 12-in-1 game - this time about vandalizing the Statue of Liberty! But, you know, more intriguing that it sounds.

Vampire Legends: The True Story of Elizabeth Bathory

That's right, there's a second Vampire Legends! This time it's an Elizabeth Bathory tale - excited yet? Well, you should be, it's darn good. Review below!

Die Young Preview

I may have mentioned in the past my fondness for a certain game called 'Dying Light'. In addition to all of the zombie goodness, the best thing about it was the way it offered the first truly functional parkour system. So I was obviously excited to see that parkour mechanic and animation dropped into another game - the fact that the game itself is pretty high-quality is just a bonus.

You can check out my first hour with horror/parkour title Die Young below!

Fated: The Silent Oath

Time for another PSVR adventure! This one is a brief trip through a haunted historical Scandanavia!

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus

When I'm not playing hidden object games or far-too-intense horror titles, my go-to genre seems to be 'Japanese Strangeness' - how else could one explain the hour-plus I spent sampling the newest game in the 'Busty Shinobi Battle' Senran Kagura series!

The Crow's Eye

It's always fun to be hugely surprised by a game's content - even if it isn't necessarily in a good way. The Crow's Eye has all of the characteristics of a horror adventure title - but then it turns out to be something entirely different...

Snowflake's Chance

I'm kind of a sucker for banging my head against sadistic platformers, so obviously I was excited to check out Snowflake's chance, the crazily challenging story of a rabbit who ends up in hell!

Senran Kegura: Bon Apetit

How do you review a softcore cooking-themed rhythm game? It took some thinking on my part, but I'm pretty sure I wound up with the only logical way to gauge its quality. Find out what that solution was in the video review below!

2Dark

So, 2Dark is incredibly unpleasant. I played it all the way through nonetheless! Here's the first section of my playthrough - warning: not for the faint of heart.

Lost Grimoires 2: Shard of Mystery

They made a second Lost Grimoires game! And it's a big improvement over the first!

Dark Arcana: The Carnival (XB1 Edition)

Artifex Mundi is continuing to release its early games on consoles, which gives me a chance to finally catch up on them! This time, it's Dark Arcana, the story of a tormented knife-thrower with an evil scheme!

Atelier Firis

The Atelier games are - by far - my favourite series of JRPGs, so I was understandably excited when the the new one was released - here's the footage of my first hour (and a bit) with it!

Story videos to follow!

RE7: Ethan Must Die Strategy Guide

I had a devil of a time figuring out the best way to get through the 'Ethan Must Die' extra mode in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Now that I've found a method that allows me to consistently beat it, I thought I would share it with anyone having trouble!

Hope this helps:

Horizon: Zero Dawn

A videogame version of Rose Leslie battling robot animals? How could I possibly pass up on this one? Here's my first hour exploring the post-apocalyptic future!
