The Video interview: Shawn Mills Sierra Adventure

feature Conquests of the Longbow – An excerpt from The Sierra Adventure: The Story of Sierra On-Line

The next behind-the-scenes glimpse from Shawn Mills's book sets its sights on the development of Christy Marx's 1994 Robin Hood classic.

review A Fisherman’s Tale

This charming VR exclusive shines like a beacon of originality with its clever worlds-within-worlds premise and associated lighthouse puzzles.

review Into A Dream

Weak storytelling and a lack of gameplay are all too real in this otherwise beautiful side-scrolling exploration of depression.

review Pamali: Indonesian Folklore Horror

Its save system and outcome logic could use some cleaning up, but the highly replayable debut installment of this four-part anthology series is as culturally enlightening as it is creepy.

feature The On-Line Dorm – An excerpt from The Sierra Adventure: The Story of Sierra On-Line

What really went down behind closed doors? Shawn Mills offers a sneak peek from his newly released book about the legendary company.

review Metamorphosis

This Kafka-inspired bug adventure remains wonderfully surreal throughout but never develops into anything substantial enough to fully get it off the ground.
