Indies to Catch in May 2026!
Sweet May is upon us, at last. The times passes swiftly – already first third of the year is behind us, and it feels I barely did anything at all! At least the summer vibes should start soon, which I very much need to function. Anyway, new month means new games to look forward to! April was robust in excellent titles to enjoy, and May is shaping up to be equally full of interesting games to dabble with. As always, there are way too many to list and give them proper justice. T

DEMO DIVE #1 - May 2026
What a beautiful start of May! Bees are bumbling around. Sun finally remembered to blast some blessed heat. Day is long and juicy. And so many demos dropped recently that I can barely pick what to play and try between pushing more hours into some excellent titles I acquired recently! But of course, I could not skip on a traditional Sunday post, sharing some impressions from the demos that stuck with me, and so, here we are. A rather eclectic mix today, a small variety selecti

CURSED WORDS
I like when the game subverts my expectations. Call me a simple sucker, but I all for plot twists and seemingly random revelations that jump out of the blue! I love twist villains in movies, too. But, of course, it all needs to be done in a decent way. A well-crafted reveal, a juicy build up, a proper ‘Gotcha!’ moment that makes it feel earned. Now though, how do you elicit such a feeling in a word scramble game? CURSED WORDS answer that question well and is a delightful ex

April is finally warming up! Sun, heat, longer days, they are all conspiring together to put me in a better mood and with it, get my energy levels up to get back to doing what’s important. That is, playing lots of games to write about them on my little internet corner! Had quite a few great demos to enjoy last week and I am happy to share my excitement about them here, so as usual, let’s not dilly dally and get to it!

DEMO DIVE #4 - November 2025
November is coming to a close and with it, the Smissmass aura is in the air. Cursed snow litters the land. Darkness envelopes the world. Morning wake up? Night. Work over? Also Night. Yeah I am not a big fan of winter in the frozen north... But what brightens my day are the games! and oh dang, do we got games. This week alone I bought over 7 new titles, because the release schedule for cool indie titles is utterly relentless! As I am playing through them to deliver to you my
