90s horror adventure game Clock Tower: Rewind released outside Japan for the first time
30 October 2024 at 1:18 pm UTC

Quoting: Leahi84this game is very loosely based on an 80s Italian horror film called Phenomena. It starred Jennifer Connelly and is a pretty good film. The character in this game was designed to look like her.
Oh, thank you for clearing that up!

For some reason I was erroneously thinking of the movie Suspiria*, but something about the protagonist was so I familiar, and it just kept bugging me I couldn't figure it out.

* both by the same director.

Zombie co-op FPS Projekt Z: Beyond Order releases Spring 2025 with Linux support

Quoting: neolithYes, it is possible technically. I was just wondering who would actually put up with using two keyboards and mice on a single computer for gaming. Two gamepads is way more common, I recon.
I assume local co-op means LAN multiplayer in this case.

Still, I would love to see four player splitscreen using four keyboards and mice some day. Pure pandemonium!

Never heard of it before, but I'm getting Suspiria/Argento vibes from the trailer! On the wishlist it goes!

I snagged Figment 2 for €1.22 (half of the Figment Bundle ).

There's more on the wishlist but I'll wait for the Autumn and Winter sales.

Quoting: Leahi84Since ProtonDB is mentioned, can anyone tell me why no games have been added to it since the end of 2023? Was the site put into maintenance mode or something? The last game it says was added was Blue Protocol in December 2023.
Not sure what you mean? SONIC X SHADOW GENERATIONS is on ProtonDB, and it was released yesterday.

Cleared Hot looks like the nostalgic helicopter shooter I need

Quoting: Purple Library GuyChoplifter? Is that a game where you use a combat helicopter to steal things from stores?
Almost!

You use a chopper to airlift hostages to safety. Quite a clever name for the game.

Quoting: PhiladelphusAs a resident of Hilo, Hawaii I'm not sure why they named a game mode that (the Hawaiian meaning of "to twist, braid" doesn't seem particularly relevant), but okay!
I think that should be hi-lo as in high or low. You pick the highest or lowest ranked option. Some sort of poker term I believe?

Also, I had no idea there was a town called Hilo. Obviously I have heard of hilo, the official state soil of Hawaii, rich in volcanic ash with a lovely 5.5 pH. But a town too? Live and learn!

Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster will be a GOG exclusive

Quoting: PenglingArgonaut owned its own creation, and then after the company went bankrupt 20 years ago, within a week its founder Jez San bought up the rights to the company's games - this was covered by various news organisations at the time. After that, the Croc rights were moved to his mobile games company, which then made a few Croc mobile games. Now Jez San has brought back Argonaut and I presume will bring back other franchises too, the most notable of which is probably Starglider, which was the series that led to Argonaut collaborating with Nintendo to create X (a 3D Game Boy game) in 1992 and then Star Fox (the famous 3D SNES game) in 1993.

In short, the rights to Argonaut's games basically never left the company's founder.
Thanks for clarifying. Good to know Croc is safe!
