Shindig is the Ultimate Happy Family Indie

Posted on by Dave Pizza
This is a game that had come across my desk yesterday, which I had accidentally overlooked because of my new format, but I was really interested in it. Shindig is an interactive fiction in the style of something like a family-friendly exploration picturebook with some tried and true interactive gameplay. As you might know, it’s always been my goal to seek out wholesome indie games because I’m a bit jumpier than a jackrabbit at times. I tend to like games that can be played by anyone.

The Comic Book Story of Video Games

Posted on by Dave Pizza
I’ve had this graphic novel sitting on my shelf for too long. These past couple of days, however, I’ve been flipping from page to page.

You’d think there would need to… Read the rest

Posted on by Dave Pizza
Brok the Investigator is a side-scrolling point-and-click cartoon adventure detective story. Fully interactive, voiced characters. It’s chock full of feel-good, heartwarming, animal noir gameplay. And what would an animal people noir be without a detective croc named Brok? The game begins in an inexplicable house fire, although things aren’t quite what they seem. After this introduction, you’ll start your story from an underground apartment. Brok’s son, Graff, is a raccoon or bear, I think. Graff is a teenager who’s your typical snippy teen, but fairly helpful in establishing location. Brok’s phone rings shortly after he wakes up and a call… Read the rest
