Staff BioArticles by Pascal Tekaia:
Nevermind review
This surreal psychological thriller will certainly get your heart racing, but its frighteningly abbreviated story is hard to get any read on.
Hidden: On the Trail of the Ancients review
While rich in Lovecraftian atmosphere, the meat of this two-part adventure has yet to be seen at the end of part one.
MISSING: An Interactive Thriller - Episode One review
The curtain is raised on a promising new FMV mystery series, though the prologue is almost criminally short.
MechaNika review
Despite its childlike appearance, this unqiue comic adventure has a dark premise and some self-destructive tendencies.
Kholat review
This Russian mountain thriller offers plenty of chilling exploration, but any further gameplay is largely MIA.
Rituals review
This hour-long minimalist adventure raises key questions about man vs. nature, but can't nurture its ideas to fulfilling completion.
Toren review
Though budding with Ico-style promise, this brief platforming adventure soon buckles under a tower of problems.
Hektor review
Its shifting environments offer a unique maze-like concept, but its gameplay and story will both leave players hopelessly in the dark.
The Charnel House Trilogy review
This three-stop train ride jumps the tracks of reality yet never veers from its linear course through the unknown.
Fire review
Daedalic's lite puzzler crackles with creative charm, but burns through its limited premise all too quickly.
White Night review
Where it fits along genre lines isn't black and white, but this stylish haunted house survival thriller has terrifying atmosphere to burn.
Supreme League of Patriots review
It looks and sounds super, but the giant-sized dialogues overpower all else in this three-part comic adventure.
The Journey Down: Chapter Two review
Though the comedy is dialed down, the middle installment of this enjoyable African-themed adventure picks up right where the last one left off.
Puzzling (Mis)adventures: Volume 9 - Fez, Thomas Was Alone
There's a wealth of creative gaming goodness squeezed into each pixel of these lo-tech puzzle-platformers.
The Fall: Part 1 review
This grim sci-fi adventure may look like Metroid, but its slick side-scrolling presentation suits its intelligent story and atmosphere perfectly.
