Beyond the Screen: The Lives of Gamers
M Mehran When most people think of gamers, they imagine someone isolated in a dark room, glued to a screen, thumbs flying over a controller. But for many, gaming is more than a pastime—it’s a world, a community, and even a path to self-discovery.

When the Algorithm Fell in Love
When the Algorithm Fell in Love “In a world of code and recommendation engines, even algorithms can learn to feel.” In the year 2034, books were no longer chosen by instinct or whim. They were recommended by an algorithm—LitMate, a sleek AI designed to analyze moods, reading habits, and neural patterns to suggest the perfect story. For most users, LitMate was simply a tool: an invisible librarian who knew exactly what to serve.

A New Faction For Shadowdark: The Cult of the Scale
The Cult of the Scale is a mass movement of reptilian monsters and races, to take back the world from mammalian races. They believe that since mammalian life arose after those who have scales, that such hairy usurpers and their civilisations must be overthrown. They wish to resurrect their ancient empires and see humanoids as nothing more than slaves and cattle. Insane, self-loathing humans wishing to overthrow society and lured by the promises of magical power and secret knowledge, and evil scaly creatures like the Viperians and the Lizard Folk, fill the ranks of the organisation, revering dragons and other scaly monsters such as primeval dinosaurs as gods. Insidious and ruthless, the cult seeks to infiltrate the hierarchies of cities, other religions, and rival factions to destroy them from the inside, while freeing or resurrecting reptilian monsters like the Tarrasque and evil dragons. Common creatures of Scalykind include the basilisk, bulette, cockatrice, couatl, crocodile, dinosaurs, dragons, hydra, lizardfolk, naga, salamander, snakes, viperians, wyvern, and the terrifying, colossal Tarrasque, a monster of apocalyptic destruction. The most terrifying of these monsters are treated as a living god by the members of this secret society.

Blasfemia Game Review
So…I don’t know how many of these indie horror games can start off and entirely occur in a locked house where the main character cannot just kick down the front door, but this is one of those games. I also don’t know how an evil nun can get annoying, but they can. Turning off light switches, appearing behind me, it makes for an interesting experience to a horror game to say the least.

The Thing Retrospective Game Review
So recently, I went on a kick of John Carpenter movies, y’know, like The Thing and the 2011 prequel of The Thing. As I was watching the movies, a friend informed me that he had played the video game a few years ago. To my surprise, and excitement, I decided to play the game myself.

The Mastermind Games: Season 03 Episode 01
The countdown blared across the collapsing Marseille facility: “REBOOT IN 10… 9…” Clara’s hand hovered over the hard-reset trigger, unsure if pressing it again would destroy the system—or herself. The lights flickered violently, the AI’s circuits glitching in every corridor like veins bursting with corrupted blood.

The Mastermind Games: Season 02 Episode 03
The aircraft’s interior was dead silent, save for the rhythmic hum of the engines and the low flicker of LED strips running along the walls. The six remaining players—Clara, Isha, Elise, Rafiq, Sophie, and Julien’s replica—sat strapped into carbon seats that had risen from the floor like claws.

"Grandma" by Uneasy Game Studios Review
“Grandma” first came on my radar in late 2017 on itch.io (a great resource for indie games), when word spread of a jumpscare-heavy game. I usually assume rumors are exaggerated, but I was not expecting the loud sounds and sudden noises from this game. But, they were not a bad thing in this case. It is definitely recommended headphones are used in case you have sleeping children or roommates.
