Saros is an experience that is hard to explain. Wrapped in bizarre moments of abstract horror, in between a narrative that could require a compass to navigate, it can be challenging to wrap your brain around it. Pulsating orbs of death with fast-paced death and decimation almost make you forget that the narrative isn’t heavy, wrapped and looped into a repetitive banquet of tawdry excess. Who among us doesn’t love a little excess, though? In the introduction, we join Arjun Devraj, who awakens already stuck in the loop of the planet Carcosa. A loop brought about by a visually striking…

Microsoft has confirmed the upcoming lineup for Xbox Game Pass in May of 2026 via Xbox Wire, and there is a lot to be excited for.

Nardin Stated during this interview: We know where we…

Every year, it seems, especially in the indie space, where fast turnaround announcements are more feasible, we see a highly anticipated game announced within weeks of its release, causing plans to change for a multitude of devs that finalized. We saw this last year with the release of Silksong, and there were similar reactions to the early access release of Hades II, and now Subnautica 2, the sequel to the hugely popular underwater survival game, is the latest to shift the field a bit. Being Steam’s most-wishlisted game, it is not hard to see why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EZhCzFaQuw Despite there being a…

While it is easy to pick up as you progress slowly, there are a few elements that are easy to miss off the bat if you don’t pay close enough attention. One of these is the bulletin board in the back that kind of needs you to move into the nook between the phone and desk, where employees leave stick notes left for later shifts. On your first shift, there…

*This guide contains light spoilers for inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories. After opening in inKONBINI on the second day, a tall stranger who doesn’t talk will enter and wander around. Part of helping this customer includes a guessing game to figure out what they want, which can be a little hard, given that neither of the products they want is actually want are on the floor, and they give a vague idea that could be a range of products (the person refuses to speak and just nods in the affirmative or negative). This doesn’t really matter overall, which I only…
