While imprisoned, Adol meets a mysterious woman named Aprilis who turns him into a Monstrum—a being with supernatural Gifts and the power to exorcize monsters.

Paper Cut Mansion Release Date

Thunderful & Space Lizard Studios are delighted to announce that their mysterious cardboard cut-out thriller, Paper Cut Mansion, is set to be released on 27th October 2022 for PC, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions will follow soon after.

In Paper Cut Mansion you play as Toby, a police detective arriving at the road leading to the eponymous old mansion. You will need to put those detective skills to the test as you seek to unfold the story behind this ominous place, with each run giving you the opportunity to collect another piece of evidence to be tacked on the Evidence Board.

An intriguing cast of characters will be met along your journey through the mansion and may help or hinder you: some will offer you quests that can earn you helpful rewards, some will try to hide and some have more malicious intent toward you.

In each unique run, you will unlock new abilities and discover new equipment. This will offer you the opportunity of defining your own playstyle, in addition to giving you a better chance of overcoming the challenges each procedurally generated attempt throws your way. Intrigue is further added through a dimension-hopping mechanic that lets you leap between alternate versions of the same location that switch up the aesthetics and gameplay.

Factorio Coming to Nintendo Switch

For those that haven’t had the chance to ever play Factorio on PC but have a Nintendo Switch, on October 28th you will have the chance to play a certain addictive game about building,as the name implies, a factory. Exactly how a game of this size and type will play on the Nintendo Switch remains to be seen,however if it runs well Switch owners are in for a treat.

The basic concept is as you crash on a planet your one goal is to build a space ship to escape. You do this by mining what you need to build up generators and such to build bigger and bigger machines and hopefully not get killed by the wildlife of the planet. The PC version is amazing, so check out the trailer below and consider checking out the Switch version. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Suikoden I&II HD Remaster Gate Rune and Dunan Unification WarsAnnounced for 2023!

Many of us have waited years for news about the Suikoden series and have long since given up hope. Even some of the original creators have moved on to a new title, one of which I have reviewed. Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising Review and it was great. Their game coming next year will probably be fantastic, and I have zero doubt see the reception it received forced Konami to move.

That brings us to what appears to be this beautiful remaster of Suikoden 1 and 2. It is worth noting that the original character designer Junko Kawano is reworking the sprites in this remaster and is also involved in Eiyuden Chronicles. They have also improved the Japanese translation which anyone that has played the originals will tell you is badly needed. UI and environment are also added or enhanced with things like footsteps, water sounds, and insects. Enjoy many photos below and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
