A Seagull, a Policeman, and an Unexpected Arrest: Bryan Martinet on Goeland: Seagull Adventure
We’ve already spent enough time with the demo for Goeland: Seagull Adventure to know that the island’s residents aren’t particularly fond of our feathered troublemaker. We steal things, poke around where we shouldn’t, and end up being chased for our naughty efforts. But Bryan Martinet, the solo developer behind Maarti Games, has witnessed something even…

Dreadline Express Review – A Terrifying Journey Aboard Humanity’s Last Train
We’ve never been on a train, but we imagine being trapped on one with the last survivors of humanity isn’t exactly our idea of a pleasant journey. Add to that the discovery that someone must be sacrificed to keep it moving, and it becomes pretty clear that you’re right in the middle of hell, or…
