A somewhat unique resource in Dead Season is that of noise. If you clobber a zombie in the head with a baseball bat it’s fairly quiet, but carve up some corpses with a chainsaw or unleash a barrage of assault rifle fire and you’ll rile up…

If you solve additional, hidden puzzles, you’ll discover other tapes that reveal more about what was going on behind the scenes of the TV show you’re exploring. Reaching an end to the game isn’t too challenging, but getting an actually…

Crayon Shin-Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is the second fusion of Crayon Shin-Chan, beloved anime, and the cult favourite Boku no Nasuyatsumi series. If I’ve lost you already, don’t worry, same. I’ve got zero familiarity with half of this…
