Wildly immoral tinseltown builder Hollywood Animal hits early access in January 2025

I wrote abouta very rude Minesweeper “homage"instead. Hopefully that was for the best. To celebrate, they’ve also published a new and fairly lengthy trailer. Grab yourself a scotch and a cigar and dig in. It’s all very involved, and not just at the level of production technicalities. Nic might be a dirty, no-good thief, but hisdemo write-up is a lot of fun. “Each film is rated for both ‘audience approval’ and ‘artistic appeal’,” he noted....

In Foddian hell-platformer Ascending Inferno, Orpheus is a footballer and Eurydice is a football

I love that Bennett Foddy’sgame-length exercise in punching you in the handshas become a genre. I love that developers are doing this to us, the Gamers - we definitely have it coming. In fairness,Ascending Infernoseems relatively gentle for a Foddlike. That said, it does rely entirely on ball physics. Vincent, unfortunately, no longer has a body. He’s an ectoplasmic orb with eyes. Yeah, screw you too. Again, I don’t think this is as Foddable as some of the Fodder I’ve encountered....

Jumping Jazz Cats mashes the multiplayer minigames of Fall Guys with Disney's Aristocats

That is because cats will not stoop to such frivolities, where it can be reasonably avoided. Cats are too self-respecting to get caught up in silly online multiplayer party games. Don’t insult their intelligence, their divinity, their mastery of the environment and of your emotions. What?Jumping Jazz Cats? I won’t recognise it. This is a work of impossible sedition. Impossible, cute sedition. Pay no attention to the trailer below. Well done, Team 17 copywriter....

Life Is Strange Double Exposure review: be still my irritated heart

Mad at Max you might feel two ways about something at the same time. The feuding academics ofLife Is Strange: Double Exposuremight call this “emotional superposition”. But the word “ambivalent” already exists. I’ve been deeply moved by individual scenes in this sequel. By the end I was sorry to leave its characters behind. If you’re allergic to spoilers, take off. To discuss a Life Is Strange game requires spoiling, even a little....

Static Dread is Papers, Please but you're a lighthouse keeper besieged by Lovecraftian monsters

You won’t have much time to write inStatic Dread, sadly. There’s a dialogue line in the trailer which I, personally, would consider highly untrustworthy. “It’s consuming my team!” screams a self-described ship captain. “kindly, send help! Not even British human beings say “gosh” in an emergency situation. That’s what you say when somebody tells you the pizza-flavoured crisps are back on sale at Aldis. Expect “a dynamic storyline with impactful player choices, leading to diverse scenarios and multiple endings”....

The creators of What Remains Of Edith Finch are making a weird and alarming biology game inspired by Ghibli and Attenborough

The developer’s next project seems to be pursuing a similar balance of whimsy and darkness. Also, chicken-legged houses. He feels they’re often rather broad and superficial, with too much cutting between creatures and places. Careful, Dallas, I hear David Attenborough’s got a mean left hook for a guy his age. I have a lot of questions, yes. Beyond that, I definitely get a Jeff Vandermeer/New Weird vibe from all this.
