Unseen Liminality Walkthrough
By Meriel Green
Unseen Liminality is an unusual bit of Roblox horror, in that it actually got me once or twice. I’ve put some hours into this Kane Pixels’ Backrooms-themed horror title recently, and while it’s in its early stages of development, it …

Partyrs Looks like a Mellower, Hipster The Sims

Have you ever thrown a party and tried to make it perfect for everyone? Me neither. They can eat the chips I buy, drink the beer they bring, and then get the hell out. The creator of Partyrs, however, sees …

Have you ever thrown a party and tried to make it perfect for everyone? Me neither. They can eat the chips I buy, drink the beer they bring, and then get the hell out.

The creator of Partyrs, however, sees a certain social value in making sure his guests are happy. That’s probably why he’s created a game about satisfying the needs of 30+ different party-goers, from rock-loving robots to gold-greedy goblins.

At first glimpse, the “here’s what I need!” speech bubbles above their heads bring to mind Sims who are desperate for a bathroom (or a fire extinguisher, YOU MONSTER). Partyrs almost seems to take that spirit and turned it into a full-fledged puzzle game. You’ll be making sure a roomful of partygoers are properly cared for.

Also – the art is absolutely charming.

Ready to host your own mobile shindig? Partyrs will be coming to iOS on September 10th.

The Sims FreePlay Review
By Jim Squires
Somewhere between the The Sims and The Sims Online, way back at the turn of the century, Maxis announced a little game called SimsVille. It was, at the time, to be the next iteration of The Sims franchise and would let players control a multitude of families that all made up a single neighbourhood. The game was scrapped, and while most of its elements turned up in either The Sims 2 or SimCity 4, nothing ever really "felt" like what I expected SimsVille to feel like. Not until now.

Full Pipe Looks Like an Art House Animation, Plays Like a Puzzle Adventure
By Jim Squires
Video games are often filled with a mix of the weird and wonderful, so it takes something fairly outside-the-box to be describled as truly strange. And yet, after watching the trailer for Full Pipe, I’m left with no better description. Originally released in …
