Detectives detect detectively in the demo of moody noir sleuth sim Obsidian Moon

Lighting up my fifteenth cigarette of the hour and adjusting my fedora, I slipped the mysterious code into the box. A collection of numbers and letters designed to provide early access to the demo of a detective game. It was a hot tip from a public relations person on behalf of developers Lost Cabinet Games. That wasn’t suspicious. Well, assuming the missing furniture is metaphorical rather than literal. Read more

You can eat rats and unicorns in lip-smacking autobattler Dunderbeck, and I absolutely refuse to play the demo

You cannot pet the dog in Dunderbeck, but you can assuredly eat the unicorn. Just drag its corpse over the puckering mouth on the righthand side.

Peter Molyneux's final game Masters of Albion will release in April - "it's the culmination of my life’s work"

Peter Molyneux and 22cans will release their new god sim Masters of Albion on Wednesday 22nd April via Steam. They’ve also pumped out a new trailer, rich in accents, exploding barrels and stone circles. If it were a game from any other developer, I’d be modestly anticipating it.

GOG's new owner will stick to its revamped classic and zero-DRM guns, but does think lessons lie in Steam's overstuffed embrace

Just before the calendar ticked over to 2026, Witcher and Cyberpunk makers CD Projekt revealed that they'd sold off their PC storefront - GOG. In a deal worth 90.7 million Polish zloty (about £18.6 million / $25 million), original CD Projekt and GOG co-founder Michał Kiciński bought the storefront and has now offered some words about his vision for its future in a Steam-dominated market.
