MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Review – “What Timing! What Finesse! What a Genius!”The case landed on my desk the way trouble usually does. No warning, no neat little bow, just a dame at the door and a file thick enough to promise a long night. Inside was everything I needed to know about MOUSE: P.I. For Hire: a city drowning in corruption, a hard-boiled private eye named [...]

Dosa Divas Review – An RPG With Sauce, PleaseIt’s always a little unfortunate when, as a reviewer, I end up looking at two games of a similar genre back-to-back.

Now, over 20 years later, those inspirations are even easier to recognize, but the design surprisingly holds up. I think prospective players only need to ask themselves if they’re willing to fully [...]

People of Note Review – The Power of Rock (And Friendship)A little over a month ago, in my preview for People of Note, I said that the game was clearly made for me in particular, based on the hour and a half I’d spent with its demo. Stop, I thought, I’m sold, you’ve done enough. I could tell I was in for a fun time [...]
