AIM Escape: Psychopath’s Den

London, Jul 2018

Having got out of Patient Zero in good time, we had exactly an hour plus walking time to get to our next booked game… so squeezing in another one at AIM was inevitable. Psychopath’s Den is of course a serial killer game, one of surprisingly few in … (more)

Argyx Games: Apocalypse (prelude)

This review comes perilously close to breaking my normal rules, in that it’s for a small taster game put out to raise interest in a crowdfunding campaign for the full product (which is now running, as of two days ago – see the link at the top). Howev… (more)

Escapologic: 13utcher

Nottingham, Oct 2017

Horuscape: Mind Horror

London, Oct 2017

The question here is, how to fairly review something which is a thoroughly different type of experience to everything else on this site? Mind Horror is a virtual reality escape game, so far a rare beast in the UK but gradually creeping into the escap… (more)
