Since its PC relaunch earlier this month, I’ve seen plenty of comments about the “old-school” nature of Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls. Whether that’s said as a point of praise or criticism depends on the individual, but it’s the common refrain: “old-school”. But to me, though, Labyrinth of Lost Souls …
The ending of Mary Skelter: Nightmares didn’t really leave much room for a direct sequel, but its unique world left so much potential for more stories to tell and ideas to explore. Where many a game would simply try to shoehorn in some contrivance to allow a follow-up to a …
Rightly or wrongly, almost all of the discussion around Omega Labyrinth Life has been focused on its controversial approach to sexual content. After all, the whole premise of the series is about exploring dungeons with women whose breasts get bigger and bigger as they accumulate “omega power” and get stronger. …
It’s a very good time to be a fan of dungeon crawlers. The last few years alone have given us Mary Skelter: Nightmares, Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, Hyakki Castle, among many others, each of which delivered a classic dungeon romp while also tinkering around the edges of the …
Mary Skelter: Nightmares was one of my favourite games of last year. It was released exclusively on PlayStation Vita exclusive, though, and while great for residents of #VitaIsland, that left the game with a much smaller potential audience than it deserved.

In its opening moments, The Lost Child doesn’t pull any punches. While investigating a series of bizarre subway suicides wrapped in supernatural rumours, occult reporter Hayato Ibuki suddenly finds himself pushed onto the tracks by an invisible force.

Asakusa Studios, based in Tokyo’s historic Asakusa district, is …
Moero Chronicle is a lewd game. It knows this and it owns it, and there’s something refreshing about that. This is an ecchi game through and through: it’s full of scantily-clad women and liberally employs clothing destruction and rubbing mechanics. That’s obviously not going to be for everyone, but Moero …
Mary Skelter: Nightmares is one of my favourite dungeon crawlers in a long time. Granted, I don’t play a huge number of them and I may have missed some other gems over the years, but I can’t think of any other dungeon crawler that’s captivated me as much as Mary …
