The first Coffee Talk was a surprising and beautiful spin on the visual novel genre. Three years later can the continued story leave as big an impact?

Review | Mindhack - Smile... Please
Mindhack is a hard game to describe but just know you are helping people in need.
Yep, definitely helping.
Right, Kate Robinson? This review is all about helping people… Right?
Review | Hunt The Night - Missing Some Magic
Hunt The Night makes a great impression in trailers thanks to some stunning pixel art but can this Hyper Light Difter-inspired action game carry through on its potential?
Airc Leighton reviews.
Review | Post Void - Pain, Suffering, And Fun
Post Void has made its way to consoles. It will still melt your brain, but maybe in a good way.
Ordhran Johnson reviews.
Review | Anemoiapolis - Back In The Backrooms, BABY!
The backrooms are all the rage right now, but with all the games coming out of this new creepypasta genre it takes a lot to stand out.
Odhran Johnson investigates if Anemoiapolis rises about the rest.
Review | Remedium Sentinels - Riding The Wave (of enemies)
There has been an onslaught of games in the newly minted Auto-Survival-Shooter genre since the breakthrough success of Vampire Survivors, so it takes a lot to stand out.
Fin Cattanach thinks Remedium Sentinels does an admirable job.
Review | Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire - Don't Starve: Tofu Edition
I actually love vegan cooking, I just hate it when they put too much garlic to make up for the lack of humans in my food…

9 Years Of Shadows | Review - Samus Casts A Long Shadow
There is no shortage of pixel art Metroidvanias out there.
However, Aric Leighton thinks 9 Years of Shadow might be something a little bit special.
Review | Lootbox Lyfe+ - More Than Skinner Box
Lootbox Lyfe+ might have the name of a one note joke game but it actually is fully fledged Metroidvania. The question now is, “Is it any good?”
Aric Leighton reviews.
Review | Redemption Reapers - Not Your Granddad's Fire Emblem
Redemption Reaper might seem like Fire Emblem that is so edgy it could cut a diamond… and it is.
But is it any good? Skeleton investigates.
Stolen Realm Has Stolen My Time… (and I'm fine with that)
Sometimes a game comes out of nowhere and eats up your free like nothing before.
Jason Coles has been consumed by Stolen Realm.
Review | Roller Drama - Wheels Spinning
Roller drama takes the coolest sport on skates into a visual novel, but does it work?
… Maybe.
Skeleton reviews.
Review | Save Room - I Like To Move It
With the Resident Evil 4 Remake imminent we are all asking the same question:
“WILL LEON STILL PLAY TETRIS WITH HIS GUNS IN HIS SUITCASE?!”
Well, good news, even if the remake doesn’t keep this iconic inventory, we now have a whole game dedicated to puzzling out where to put all these green herbs!
Scott Nowbaveh reviews Save Room.
![Review | The Knight Witch - Wicked [Cool] Witch](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5caf2dea93a63238c9069ba4/1674902221285-F8Y8XHI78OWJGDAMEVIN/The+Knight+Witch+0.png)
Review | The Knight Witch - Wicked [Cool] Witch
Is it a platformer? Is it a Metroidvania? Is It a bullet hell?
No, she’s The Knight Witch!
Ruddy Celestial reviews!
Review | Lone Ruin - New Year, New Me, New Roguelike
If we had a penny for every pixel art, tough-as-nail, roguelike indie game, we’d be very rich.
So can Lone Ruin stand out in this crowded space?
Marie Pritchard thinks it might be something a little bit special.
Review | A Closer Look At Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's Campaign | Winter Spectacular 2022
Now that the game has been out for a while and we’ve moved away from some of the hype and hyperbole, just how good is Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s campaign?
Matthew John McCormick investigates.
Review | Vampire Survivors: Legacy Of The Moonspell - Entranced In Chaos
Ok, so now that we have determined that even people that dislike Vampire Survivors, actually like it if they try hard enough, what else do we investigate?
Ah yes! Broc Peterson joins us to investigate the post-launch, paid DLC, and see if it can live up to the base game.
Review | Vampire Survivors - Sink It's Teeth In... Eventually
Ok listen. I don’t mean to alarm you… But I think we have found someone that doesn’t like Vampire Survivors.
How dare Jon/Jenna Simspon!? I mean— wait… What’s that?
Oh… You should read their full review…
Review | Kynseed - The Mysteries Of Running A Farm
The indie game market isn’t exactly short on pixel art, farming-based, life-sims but Kynseed might just be a little special.
Mystery and deals with fae await in Eloise Evan’s review.
Review | Wayward Strand - A Strand Short
It has been a banner year for interactive fiction in the indie game scene. Wayward Strand deftly tackles difficult subject matter but is the game that surrounds it just as good?
Tyler Denyer reviews.
