1 week ago | gameluster.com | Jess Clayton-Berry

Serafini Productions’ horror short story anthology series, BrokenLore, continues with its second instalment, BrokenLore: DON’T WATCH, which follows Shinji, a hikikomori who finds himself unable to leave his apartment, even if he wanted to, as a monster awaits for him outside. Taking a similar tone to BrokenLore: LOW, DON’T WATCH is a psychological narrative horror game that’s just over an hour long.
Scarred Review - Yeah, Emotionally

2 weeks ago | gameluster.com | Jess Clayton-Berry

I adore indie horror games, and oftentimes my love for this genre leads me to some hidden gems, beautifully crafted passion projects that outshine some of the latest AAA releases despite limitations in technology, finances and hands on deck. Other times though, I’ve bore witness to some stinkers. Scarred, by solo Singaporean developer, Choo Bin Yong (KOEX studio), is unfortunately the latter of these.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Review - What’s in the Box?!

3 weeks ago | gameluster.com | Jess Clayton-Berry

Ten years ago, Life is Strange emotionally ruined me as a sixteen-year-old experiencing it as it released episodically. While its dialogue very much reflected the age of its developers trying to mimic the voice of an edgy, hormonal teen, its storyline otherwise outshone this and every episode left me reeling over the fact that I would have to wait another month or so to find out what happens next.

1 month ago | gameluster.com | Jess Clayton-Berry

The credits have just rolled on Blue Prince, a goal that felt akin to attempting to exploring an open world RPG; you have a main objective, but every time you try to get there you just get carried away with exploring points of interest, and then you discover more side quests – soon, you’ve forgotten that you’re supposed to be looking for your kidnapped son. In Dogubomb’s Blue Prince, a unique strategy puzzle game, we play as Simon, the heir to Mt. Holly.

We start Blue Prince in the entrance hall which has three doors leading straight ahead, left and right.
Atomfall Review - Have A Blast

1 month ago | gameluster.com | Jess Clayton-Berry

Rebellion’s survival-action game, Atomfall, is set in an alternative 1960s Lake District, five years after the real-life Windscale fire incident in 1957. Whereas the real story was a nuclear facility fire that is currently the UK’s worst nuclear accident to date, nearly causing a Chernobyl-scale event, Atomfall’s situation is much more dire. We awaken in a bunker with no recollection of who we are or what we’re doing there.

Wanderstop Review - Finding Value In Boredom

Davey Wreden (The Stanley Parable and The Beginner’s Guide) would often daydream of visiting a tea shop in the woods and sitting on a bench by the water. After struggling with burnout following his previous two games, he wanted his next game to be a cozy game; a genre often renowned for its relaxation effects, hoping that this would help soothe his mind and recover from stress.
