Tails: The Backbone Preludes is full of living, breathing characters who, for all their fur and tails, have to make some very human choices.

Burnhouse Lane review
Rem Michalski’s Burnhouse Lane is creepy and inviting all at once. It puts you through the emotional wringer, and isn’t afraid to push you beyond the bounds of acceptability. If you are up for the challenge, you’ll be in for one hell of a ride... Read more

The Quarry review
Though the slower-burn build-up to its werewolf-themed horror fun makes it equal parts bark and bite, Supermassive’s The Quarry is a welcome spiritual successor for anyone who enjoyed the campy slasher fun of Until Dawn... Read more
The Rewinder review
