100+ games available on sale with some pretty good discounts!

Die Gute Fabrik shared this announcement on Twitter earlier today. Sadly, they are halting production of future products/games due to a lack of funding.

Mutazione & Saltsea Chronicles were both incredible games, and I was hopeful to see more from this studio. Here's to hoping that funding issues are resolved and they are able to resume production soon. It would be a shame to see such a promising studio go belly up.

Panic has announced that the Playdate is now shipping as soon as orders come in!

If you've been on the fence about getting a Playdate due to the long waiting times, now is your chance!

Panic is putting out a showcase of upcoming games on February 28th at 12pm ET. The most noteworthy title being shown off will be "Mars After Midnight" by Papers Please developer Lucas Pope.

I've played all the LIS games and have been a fan of the series since the original released while I was in college.

For me, I think my ranking of the games is as followed:

1. Before the Storm
2. Life is Strange
3. Life is Strange 3
4. Life is Strange 2

Not including Captain Spirit because it's really more of a companion title and so short. It's a really close tie for me between the original LiS & LiS 3, as I really enjoyed both.

Before the storm was such a surprise for me and I really enjoyed the way they developed the characters & romance in that title, which makes it stand out for me.

Despite my love & enjoyment of the series, I really couldn't get into LiS 2. I played the whole game, but I struggled my way through it. I did not like the characters or the plot, and only finished it out of a hope that the ending would be worth it.

Hide & seek across Switzerland. Season premiers February 28th on Nebula.

After it being on my radar since release, I finally played Saltsea Chronicles.

I loved Mutazione, and was looking forward to trying out whatever else the developer put out, and despite not being immediately interested after the demo, I took the plunge and am so glad that I did.

Saltsea Chronicles carries so much of the same storytelling elements, world & character building, and a focus on community that Mutazione had, and goes deeper with it.

One of the things I found fascinating about Mutazione was this small community that had formed on the island, cut off from the rest of humanity. In the face of a radioactive disaster, they came together in community to support each other, and live with nature. It was an interesting look at what society could look like when cut off from outside pressure.

Saltsea takes this concept of disaster bringing together a community, and expands it into a more fleshed out world, with its own culture, practices, art. Your choices matter in terms of where the crew ultimately goes, and what islands you see. It's a game I could easily see myself replaying in order to visit all the places I didn't go to during my first play through.

If you loved Mutazione, I'd highly suggest trying out Saltsea for yourself. For those curious, it took me about ~14 hours to complete.
