Between These Two review: Stick with the nightmare, and it gets better

Between These Two does not exactly ease you in gently. You wake up inside a house, head downstairs, and then a storm rolls in. Nothing too strange there. Except the storm appears to be happening inside the house too. A graphical glitch or an intended consequence of the strange things to come? Only the developer, Mihai Calarasanu, will know the answer to that one.

Roadside Research starts abducting customers in its biggest alien update yet

Running a petrol station while secretly being an alien was apparently not enough. Now the customers are getting abducted. Cybernetic Walrus has released the latest major update for Roadside Research, expanding the co-op petrol station simulator with human abductions, new alien research systems, more automation and the first stages of what sounds like a considerably less subtle plan to invade Earth.

Putting indie games back on the shelf: Talking We The Indies with Chandler Kravitz

For all the convenience digital distribution has brought to gaming, there is still something satisfying about actually owning a game. Not having it attached to an account, a server, or a licence agreement. A box on a shelf. A disc you can pick up years later and, theoretically, still install and play. Chandler Kravitz is trying to make that possible for indie PC games.

Palworld 1.0 on the Steam Deck

When Palworld exploded into Early Access, it captured the collective imagination of millions with its wild blend of creature collecting, base automation, and third-person survival shooting. However, handheld performance on Valve’s Steam Deck was hit-or-miss: severe frame drops, visual pop-in, heavy battery drain, and memory leaks plagued longer play sessions. With the official release of Palworld 1.0, developer Pocketpair delivered an extensive pass of optimisations alongside massive end-game content like the long-awaited World Tree.

EasySMX S10 Lite review: The sensible sibling that gets the job done

I checked out the original EasySMX S10 back when I was running FULLSYNC, and it punched well above its weight. It looked good, felt great in the hands, and managed to squeeze in enough features to make you double-check the price tag. So when the EasySMX S10 Lite arrived, the obvious concern was whether EasySMX had simply taken a pair of scissors to the spec sheet and called it a day.

Seina: a Tale of Spirits opens its hand-painted world with a free Steam demo

Sometimes you just want a game where nothing is trying to kill you. No enormous boss waiting behind a suspiciously large door. No stamina bar deciding that climbing three feet was a bit much. No horrible creature waiting in the woods because you made the terrible mistake of exploring after dark. Seina: a Tale of Spirits is going in a considerably calmer direction.

Cartoon chaos and cursed waves: Talking Ghoul Fright with Jaime Valls of Atrax

Ghoul Fright is not exactly trying to be subtle. It is loud, chaotic, ridiculous in all the right ways, and more than happy to throw players into a playground of fists, flying props, and increasingly unhinged waves of enemies. Between its physics-driven combat, survival structure, and 90s and 2000s cartoon-inspired energy, it feels like the sort of game that wants players to laugh, panic, and cause an irresponsible amount of damage all at once.

Has co-op horror become the new survival crafting?

You know the setup of a co-op horror by now. You and a few friends have accepted a job that no sane person would touch. The building is dark, your employer is probably evil, and something tall with far too many teeth is wandering around nearby. There will be equipment to carry. There may be a quota to meet. Somebody will suggest splitting up, despite every horror film ever made explaining why that is a terrible idea.

Milestones

We’ve been running Dying Art Media for 5 months now. It’s been pretty interesting and fun to start from scratch. Seeing very low traffic numbers come through after starting to see some decent figures from the old site, is probably the worst of it. But that’s because the other site was years old and had loads of legacy content. With over 500 posts in about 9 years.
