As meta (both -physical and -phorical) as Severance is, the more unsettling aspect of the show is that it’s quite literal. In my experience, many corporations are very cult-like, in their language, marketing, dress code, rules, etc. There’s always been something subversive in the way corporations (for the sake of PR) pretend to care about …
To be clear, nothing about the following theory necessarily negates any of the other possibilities: that Silent Hill is actually hell or purgatory, that Mary is dead in the backseat of James’ car the whole time, that everyone is dead, buried next to each other in a cemetery, stuck in a loop like ghosts trying …
Bloober Team absolutely nailed this remake. And unlike a lot of people apparently, I had no concerns about that. In fact, not only did I not have any apprehension about that, I was actually excited when I heard the news that they were the team working on it a few years back. I’m not sure …
Children’s stories, toys, TV shows, and often children themselves have had the ability to unnerve adults for decades (if not hundreds of years), but I’m not sure exactly when “Evil Kid’s TV Shows” became the trend it is now. Certainly, it’s been around since the creepypasta that inspired Channel Zero at least. In any case, …
Dead Rising is just one of those games I saw release way back when, thought it looked fun, but just never played it for whatever reason, until now. It always looked like wacky arcade-style fun, and it does have that, but I was surprised to learn that it’s a fully open world game with an …

Gray Dawn is another great example of how games can be simple, small, self-contained stories, and still be worth playing. It’s definitely a different speed that not all gamers will appreciate, but if you like walking simulators, I think this one will be enjoyable for you. This game is more religious than any other game …
While I’d certainly heard about the game, I didn’t really have any expectations going in. I didn’t even watch a trailer for the game first. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the game is great, charming and enchanting during the day, and absolutely terrifying at night. It probably goes a long way that my …
Considering just how important Alan Wake is to me, it’s hard to believe it took me so long to write about it. To try and give you an idea of how much I like Alan Wake, you have to understand that it’s not just a top-10 video game for me, but a top-10 storytelling experience …
