Okay, so there’s this really great game on Steam called Castle in the Darkness. You can go and grab it if you like, it’s quality action/adventure stuff. Anyway, the creator of that got together with some other cool people and founded a new studio, and their first project is this game. While this is not a sequel to Castle in the Darkness, they share a lot of strengths. You control a group of three adventurers, each with their own abilities, and try to guide them through a deadly tower. Thanks to a secret pact made by one of them, death is just a temporary problem. Indeed, it is sometimes a good strategy. I’ll be doing a review of this one soon, but I can say right now that I very much dig what it’s doing. Overboard! ($14.99)

Whoa, the latest inkle game has dropped, and it looks utterly fantastic. You’re a passenger on the SS Hook, a ship about eight hours away from New York. A body is found. A murder has been committed. There’s no mystery...
