Rob Lake reviews Glyph on Nintendo Switch... Originality is the name of the game when it comes to Glyph , and this charming 3-D puzzler has heaps of it. From the inhabitants of the world to it's the perfect blend of puzzles and platforming, Glyph is a game that every Switch owner needs to experience and explore. Developed by Bolverk Games, Glyph tells the story of a world besieged by a vast desert and a rogue A.I. You play the role of Glyph, a charming robot who's purpose is to restore an ancient temple which lies in the heart of the desert which also serves as the game's central hub. While the task sounds simple, our scarab beetle robot will have to navigate this vast landscape using precision and speed to collect the items necessary to restore the city. With the very landscape as Glyph's enemy, one false move can most certainly cause the tiny robot major harm. On first glances, the story to Glyph is a pretty standard post-apocalypse affair.

It has been over a decade since Five Nights at Freddy’s first flickered onto our screens, quietly released on August 8, 2014, by a relatively unknown indie developer named Scott Cawthon. At the time, it seemed like just another quirky horror game in the ever-growing pile of let’s play bait on Steam.

Looking back now, it is easy to forget just how strange and refreshing the original game was when it first released — and how much of its DNA can still be felt in the genre today. The Horror of Helplessness What made the original Five Nights at Freddy’s so different fro...
Karma: The Dark World is not a game that tries to entertain with fast action or familiar horror tropes. Instead, it quietly unsettles you, pulling you into a slow descent through memory, guilt, and psychological decay. It is a disturbing, visually intense experience that trades jump scares for emotional tension and abstract storytelling. If you come into it expecting combat or traditional survival elements, you may be surprised by just how different it is from most horror titles. Story & Atmosphere - A Deep Dive Taking place in a dystopian version of East Germany in the year 1984, under the control of a shadowy corporate regime known as Leviathan The narrative places you into the shoes of Daniel McGovern, a special investigator with the strange ability to enter the minds of others. These so-called memory dives are where most of the game happens. You are not just reviewing crime scenes or solving clear mysteries. Instead, you are exploring fractured memories filled with hidden meani...
