Fall of Porcupine is an adorable game where you play as Finley, an anthropomorphic pigeon and new doctor. Unfortunately, the abrupt ending (or lack thereof) really spoils an otherwise charming and delightful game.

Review: This Bed We Made

Games

Jan 30, 2024

Clean hotel rooms and snoop to your heart’s content. Just don’t get arrested for murder. Short, cinematic, and close to flawless.

Review: The Painscreek Killings

Games

Feb 21, 2023

The Painscreek Killings is a walking-simulator mystery game where you play as a journalist investigating a murder in a small, now abandoned town. The game aspires to replicate the experience of solving a real murder by depriving you of all the in-game hints you may be used to.

Review: Bad Sisters

TV & Movies

Oct 25, 2022

Bad Sisters is a 10-episode min-series from Apple TV+. It’s a bit of a whodunit, and not really a howdunit, but mostly a… dunwhat? The series begins with a funeral and from the start, you’re pretty sure you know who killed him, but until the very last episode, you don’t know the cause of death. Oh, and all throughout you’re cheering for the probably-murderers against the investigating... insurance agents?

Review: Stray

Games

Aug 16, 2022

Stray masterfully utilizes the natural behaviors and limitations of being a cat in its mechanics. The unique puzzles are then combined with whimsical characters and light-hearted dialogue to create a truly joyful experience

Review: Backbone

Games

Jul 19, 2022

Backbone is a noir adventure game where you play as Howard, a raccoon PI in a world with the gritty atmosphere of Disco Elysium and the anthropomorphic cast of Night in the Woods. This game could have been close to perfect, but instead descends into absurdity and leaves important questions unaddressed.

Review: Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One

Games

Jun 21, 2022

Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One follows a young Sherlock Holmes as he returns to Cordona, the island where he spent his early childhood. The open-world nature of the investigative work creates a foundation that will sustain gameplay beyond the primary narrative.

Review: Life is Strange: True Colors

Games

May 17, 2022

True Colors is the latest installment in the Life is Strange series and was developed by Deck Nine. True Colors follows a brand new protagonist, Alex, with a brand new superpower— empathy. While there are several areas where I just wanted more out of the experience, I’m still debating if this game might actually be better than the original Life is Strange.

Finders Seekers is a another monthly subscription service for mystery addicts, and a good introduction to the world of subscription mystery boxes, though it may not be challenging enough for more experienced sleuths.
