Resident Evil Requiem key art

Resident Evil Requiem key art

What can I say, so far I'm loving my time with #ResidentEvil #Requiem, especially with Grace, whom I find extrordinarily relatable. Leon S. Beefcake on the other hand is just pure, unadulterated fun.
Let's have some more of each, now, over on www.twitch.tv/melancholygeek

Turns out, one itch.io, tast.io... Saturda...io? just isn't enough to do @puppetcombo.bsky.social's itch catalogue justice.
So we'll have another, starting with The Glass Staircase, now, over on www.twitch.tv/melancholygeek

If any of my mutuals is or knows a level designer that's comfortable working in Unreal, and is familiar with FPS games and Mario Galaxy, please let me know.

You of course knew it was going to happen, and here it is, happening.
Even after a week I somehow managed to remain pretty much unspoiled about #ResidentEvil #Requiem, so let's change that and head back to Raccoon City one more time, now, over on www.twitch.tv/melancholygeek

The bit of advice I always give and is NEVER listened to is

"Use reference"

The difference between great looking/playing games and not so great looking/playing games is nearly always the use of reference

Yo @dave.newblood.games, you're doing #WeHateMoney wrong. *This* is how you hate money.

I wouldn't say you were *very* wrong ... But I get what you mean. I absolutely loved the game, but I also had no idea what to expect and, well, didn't.
But I could see this with a, say, tighter loop and a story designed around that being absolutely phenomenal too.

I will stop comparing #ROUTINE to other games of its genre, it's moot. But I'll tell you this, Entity A is among the scariest stalker enemies I have ever encountered. And probably the grossest.

There I thought I had #ROUTINE all figured out but now that we're past the halfway point it turns out, nuh-uh. And I couldn't be happier. It was great before, but this here I what I game for.

Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut Your pulse quickens. The locker you’re hiding in feels as though it’s closing in on all sides, constricting. Perhaps you’re standing in your coffin. The Xenomorph slinks close, its eyeless visage inches from the locker and its wet breath mingling with your fear. You don’t dare swallow. The Xenomorph stands unflinching, curious, on the hunt. Teeth bared.

Hold your breath. Don't you dare... make... a... sound.

"Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut", the expanded analysis of Alien: Isolation, is now available for you to pre-order.

Sure, the Alien Isolation comparisons are warranted (disregarding the respective development cycles), but that alone is high praise and deservedly so. Meaning, #ROUTINE has been scaring me shitless.
Let's see if it continues to do so, now, over on www.twitch.tv/melancholygeek

Save 90% on Suffer The Night on Steam SUFFER THE NIGHT is a first-person survival horror experience. Alone in a secluded cabin during a violent storm, horror illustrator Stacey Linden discovers the true meaning of fear. Explore a constant...

The wonderful Suffer the Night by the equally wonderful @taintedpactgames.bsky.social is on a super discount on steam right now and you should get it (and all thir other games on steam or itch).
We played this a few streams back, and it's absolutely exquisite: store.steampowered.com/app/2176850/...

I'd assume everyone seeing this is familiar with @puppetcombo.bsky.social and their "triple-B" VHS horror. You probably know them from steam, so on today's itch.io, tast.io... Saturda...io? we take a good look at their itch catalogue.
And we're starting now, over on www.twitch.tv/melancholygeek

I played Butler Guillotine"s demo a while back and fell madly in love with its absurdist style.
Really looking forward to this release!

I know next to nothing about #ROUTINE, a game 13 years in the making and one of 2025's great indie horror hits. And I even skipped @quaddamnpodcast.bsky.social's latest episode with the dev to remain unspoiled.
Let's find out what it's about together, now, over on www.twitch.tv/melancholygeek

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.
