March 15, 2022

This is one of the easiest mystery boxes I’ve encountered. It just isn’t worth the price. You can get more engaging and challenging gameplay for 1/4 the price from Deadbolt Mystery Society.

Review: The Mystery Experiences Company

July 2, 2017

The Mystery Experience Company is a mystery-themed monthly subscription service. Each box is its own mystery and my first box contained a journal, artifacts, a map, a newspaper, and many other clues to get started unraveling a 19th century murder on a Mayan expedition.

Review: Fall of Porcupine

Review: Fall of Porcupine
February 27, 2024

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: Bad Sisters

Review: Bad Sisters
October 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: Backbone
July 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: Life is Strange: True Colors
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.
