Water Delivery is an incredibly dark and twisted experience wrapped in moments of unexpected humour and levity. It's my favourite type of indie horror, a little janky around the edges, yet somehow it still finds room for absurd charm, like the brilliantly cheeky copyright skirting shirts (AB/CD, Hike, etc.) that give you a light hearted breather.

That said, this isn’t a game for everyone. It tackles deeply mature themes including suicide, nudity and psychological trauma; so streamers should be mindful of their audience before diving in.

Playing Gloomy Eyes was a genuinely lovely experience, truly. The world is dark, dreamy and strangely cosy; and the art style was gorgeous. The puzzles aren’t hard, but they’re clever enough to keep you curious, which was perfect for me as I'm not very good at puzzles! If you like moody stories, cosy puzzles, or games that feel like they fell out of another dimension... this one’s for you. I'm sure that this game is going to keep getting extremely positive reviews and it deserves every last one of them.

Stray is breathtaking from start to finish. The visuals are stunning and the downtempo electronic score is gorgeous, perfectly matching the game’s quiet, contemplative tone. The world is alive with lovely characters, intimate spaces, and countless little details to discover. The resemblance to the old Hong Kong Walled City gives the setting a dense, layered authenticity that’s endlessly fascinating. It’s a joy to explore, to look at, and to simply exist in.

Thank Goodness You’re Here is often laugh out loud funny, with charming visuals and a wonderfully crafted world. It’s a brilliant satirical take on a small English village, so accurate in many ways that I felt like I’d actually been there more than once. Witty, warm, and beautifully presented.

The First Tree tells a sweet and touching story that, while occasionally awkward, is ultimately moving and thought-provoking. The looping music and lack of volume controls drove me a tad insane, yet the emotional weight of the narrative still broke through, it’s the first time I’ve ever cried on stream. The ending, where players can leave a message, is a beautiful and memorable touch that lingers long after the credits roll. Would I recommend this game? Yes.

This isn't just a game. It feels like a reflection of everything we’re grappling with in the real world, wrapped in this emotional, winding road trip. The characters feel very real, like people you’ve met or might become; and every choice you make actually feels like it matters. There’s a constant tension, but underneath it all; a quiet sense of hope that somehow keeps pushing you forward. The music cassette tapes you pick up along the way are the emotional thread of the whole experience and some of the tracks are genuine bops. It’s one of those games that doesn’t just entertain you, it stays with you and maybe even shifts how you see things. Really enjoyed playing this and will remember it for a long time.

Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is one of those games that sticks with you, not because of intense action or fast paced game play, but because of how beautifully it tells its story. It's my all time favourite release and I love to revisit it every few years.

The graphics make you feel as though you're walking through a painting of the English countryside and the music is just incredible. The score really ties the whole experience together and adds so much emotion to every moment.

It's definitely a slow burn, so if you're looking for something action packed, this probably isn’t for you. But if you enjoy thoughtful, atmospheric stories, it’s absolutely worth your time and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Firewatch really pulled me in with its gorgeous visuals and the way it built atmosphere. Walking through the lush forests felt so immersive. The story between Henry and Delilah was surprisingly emotional and I loved how their conversations developed over time. The game set up this really eerie, almost horror-like mystery that kept me on edge, but it fizzled out near the end. I was expecting a bigger payoff, so the ending was a bit of a letdown. Still, it’s a great experience overall, especially if you’re into narrative-driven games.

This is a short but effective horror game that manages to create an unsettling atmosphere with minimal elements. You play as an inspector checking out cabins for anomalies. While that might sound simple, the game’s use of subtle visual tricks and eerie sound design makes every moment feel tense. It's got a lofi, dreamlike quality that really sticks with you, kind of like if P.T. and The Exit 8 had a creepy little cousin.

It only takes about an hour or so to finish, but it makes the most of that time—especially if you're into psychological horror that plays with perception. Definitely worth a go if you’re looking for something weird and unsettling. Especially enjoyed the live updating leader board for Twitch chat and the stream intractability in general - a really nice touch.

Order 13 casts you into a cosy autopilot trance much in the same vein as many store simulator games, has the cuteness of Stray, and the creeping look-behind-your-shoulder horror of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I bonded with my cat (Leon Kennedy!) instantly... and grabbing items while his timer ticked down was bundles of fun.

It does a fantastic job of juxtaposing the mundane task of warehouse order fulfilment with an incredibly oppressive atmosphere. As you go deeper into the warehouse, the shadows grow darker and your sense of unease intensifies.

Can't wait to pick this up again <3
