Death and a Platformer: The End

BBC’s The End has a laudable goal: to get people to think about death. As such, it falls under the encompassing banner of educational games, but it presents its concepts in a way that makes them seem unlike any sort

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy review

I love weird things. The absurd and the surreal are always welcome additions to my life, and I tend to gravitate towards these things. Bizarre speculative fiction worlds filled with trans-humanism and rich histories involving mushroom people and fungus based
