    Here's what's coming up in the RPS Game Club in 2024

    After a successful first outing, RPS Game Club is returning for another year of gaming show-and-tells, and this time, we're publishing the schedule in advance so you know exactly what's coming up and when. Handy, say, if you want to keep an eye on certain sale prices for games yo

    First-person adventure Roman Sands RE:Build was announced during Nintendo’s House Of Indies holiday event, and it’s coming to Steam in summer 2023 too. Described as an “end of time adventure gacha puzzle apocalypse visual novel simulation horror trip”, Roman Sands RE:Build hails

    Thanks to our friends at Baltoro who have been handling the Switch port and localizations of the game, we've added a Japanese localization to the game! You're able to switch language in the settings - though if your Steam language is set to Japanese, the first time you run the ga

    Stealth sim Tangiers is back on track thanks to horror short Paratopic

    Five years ago, stealth sim Tangiers was due out in November 2015. But that never happened. Since then, the Kickstarted project has crouched in the shadows, forgotten by most, waiting to reveal itself once again. After half a decade of development hell, work on the game has final

    Sample The Haunted PS1's scares in this week's free Demo Disk

    Frequent Itch.io shoppers will have noticed the store’s gotten rather spooky of late. In the last year, it’s become near-impossible to move for all the retro-styled spookers – lo-fi horror games with few polygons and even fewer pixels. That’s largely down to the devils at The Hau

    Disco Elysium s Hardcore Mode is just one way games can meaningfully explore poverty

    Last week, the haunting and hilarious Disco Elysium added an extra difficulty setting called Hardcore True Detective Mode . On the surface, it seems like a fairly standard set of tweaked parameters. More demanding dice roles to shaft dear old Harry Du Bois at every opportunity. I

    Itch's big summer sale opens with an essential indie bundle

    E3 is over, and we’ve got all that mega-budget fluff out of our system, so let’s get weird again. There’s a big summer sale on over on Itch , which has rapidly become my favourite games store. While the bulk of the discounts run until July 1st, there’s also the Itch.io Summer Sel

    Return Of The Obra Dinn wins IGF Grand Prize

    Continuing to copy the tastes of RPS, the Independent Games Festival Awards last night awarded Return Of The Obra Dinn the Seumas McNally Grand Prize during the Game Developers Conference last night, with a cheeky Excellent In Narrative award on the side too. We declared it our f

    Nic Rueben s 5 best games of 2018

    We asked a bunch of our regular writers to tell us what their five favourite games this year were. Today it’s the turn of Nic Rueben , who is definitely a human boy. It s well known that games are an awful mistake that should have never been unleashed on an unsuspecting humanity.

    Hi all, Had a few requests for rebindable keyboard controls, just patched that into the game. If you go menu -> settings -> customize controls, you'll be able to adjust the keyboard set up. Enjoy!

    Lo-fi horror game Paratopic gains a Definitive Cut, comes to Steam

    Paratopic is an indie first-person horror game that launched on itch.io earlier this year. You play as three characters—a smuggler, an assassin, and a birdwatcher—in strange adventure game vignettes. Sometimes you're trying to secret a VHS tape across the border, sometimes you're

    Paratopic: Definitive Cut is out now, and still some cracking weird horror

    “You may as well play Paratopic now because it will be one of our favourite games of the year,” I insisted to the assembled masses in the RPS treehouse yesterday, and I’ll say it to you too. I adored the first-person horror game when it first launched in March, going on to call i
