Co-Op Point And Click: Cursors

By Graham Smith on November 3rd, 2014 at 2:00 pm.

I eventually stopped playing Cursors some fifteen screens in when, as shown in the image above, I found myself trapped in a small cubbyhole in the top left of the screen. It’s a co-operative browser game where you trace your mouse cursor around mazes, but where advancing through each screen doesn’t merely mean working together. It means some people getting left behind.

Eitr, A Viking Themed Isometric Soulslike

By Ben Barrett on November 3rd, 2014 at 9:00 am.

Explore The Deadly Dreamlike Labyrinth Of Parasomnia

By Philippa Warr on November 3rd, 2014 at 4:00 pm.

Searching for something unsettling rather than terrifying for the Hallowe’en period, I happened upon Parasomnia by Acatalept. It’s perhaps best described as a futuristic chrome version of the Theseus and the Minotaur legend.

Except you’re not Theseus. Theseus hacked the game by bringing in a ball of string, killing the Minotaur and escaping. You’re (currently) one of the preceding generations of Athenian youth sent in as sustenance for the monstrous Asterion and doomed to die.
