The Many Sins of House Ocampo [Trailer]

The Many Sins of House Ocampo looks to be another exciting upcoming point-and-click adventure mystery, made in the style of glorious pixel art. What gets me about the trailer, beyond the captivating visual style, is the oppressive vibe it gives me—especially through the music. It’s loud and ominous, giving me the impression that this will be a deep dive into the occult (with a hint of madness).

The old-timey occult stuff that curses families and the land bound to the family name for centuries—where the mere mention gives shivers down people’s spines. Well, that’s what I hope for, anyway. There is no mention of any release date, unfortunately. But I think a 2026 release is not impossible. Check the trailer after the click.

Crimson Freedom – what’s this?

Discovered the upcoming RTS Crimson Freedom by the all mysterious algorithm on Twitter (X)—and for once I can say it did a pretty good job. No societal decay shoved into my face today to increase my ever-growing despair for the future, just pure enjoyment—thanks Elon! Jokes aside, this is a pleasant surprise, because it looks great from a visual standpoint, in a setting that never fails: sci-fi war on Mars. Other things that make this a contender is that it’s singleplayer focused, with three distinct factions. And, the Steam page promises a focus on Macro, instead of Micro. Thank the Martian gods for that, as too much micro is a modern curse upon the RTS genre. Check out the cool gameplay trailer after the jump!

Terminator 2D: NO FATE – Launch Trailer [Trailer]

Boy, this one looks fun! Especially for someone that adores the two first movies. While I find Terminator, the better film of the two, Terminator 2 is no slouch when it comes to the action. Terminator 2D: NO FATE is essentially the whole plot line of the sequel—now in the form of a sleek looking 2D platformer made in exquisite pixel art. The atmosphere, world detail and the animations look to be absolutely top-notch going by the trailer. It’s set to release in two days (12th) from now on Steam—so make sure to warm up the mini-gun in time! Check out the cool trailer after the jump.

Lost Key – The Path of Illumination [Trailer]

A friend sent me a trailer of Lost Key – The Path of Illumination—and what can I say? My friend must know me well, because this type of adventure title is right up my alley. It’s a mystery game, set in England, with you having to clear your name after being accused or murder. A big point of interest for the game is that it takes place during the late ’90s—an era that I miss to this day. Yeah, I’m becoming old and overly sentimental. On the visual style, it looks very pleasant, with a clear pixel-art throwback to the days of LucasArts. 

The only negative thing I picked up on is the critique their former game got for being somewhat preachy and stiff when it comes to dialogue. Not having played it myself, it’s impossible to pass judgment. However, if true, I hope it’s something they took to heart and improved upon. No release date has been set, but I assume next year. Check out the trailer for yourself after the jump!

The Guild – Europa 1410 [Trailer]

I’m a bit late for this one, but I felt I had to make a post about it. You see, The Guild II is one of my favorite management games from the past. It’s janky, a tad buggy, but incredibly charming. Especially in multiplayer where I spent many hours with my sis—to become the top-dog businessman of whatever city we ran at the time. It’s a sandbox combined with an economy simulation, creating the ultimate medieval dynasty game. It has a lot of subtle trolling included in the gameplay to make it a hilarious experience—that might as well backfire on the instigator, to throw the victim into prison.
