Man of Medan Review


Halloween is just a few weeks aways and what's better than playing spooky games with your family and friends.  Probably a lot of things if you hate anything scary but we're going to ignore my irrational fear of horror games and review The Dark Pictures Anthology Man of Medan.  I originally gave this as a Christmas gift for a friend back in 2019, and after 2 years we finally sat down to play it!   Man of Medan was released on August 29th, 2019 by Supermassive Games.  So let's get started!

Nancy Drew Shadow At the Water's Edge Review


Since this month is the month of everything spooky and scary I though it would be a great time to start off this month of reviewing a ton of spooky and scary games!  The first one up this month is Nancy Drew Shadow at the Water's Edge!  This has to be one of my favorite scary games along with one of my favorite locations.  I've always wanted to go to Japan and this game gave me the greatest ability to go explore a virtual version of this beautiful country.  Shadow at the Water's Edge was released by Her Interactive on October 19th, 2010.  So let's get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: September 2021


Oh... hello... it looks like I forgot to finish my blog post for last two week and now its October. Oops... I guess thats what happens when one gets busy and lacks the motivation to write.

But enough of my grumbling as you are all here to hear about all the wonderful and lovely games I've been playing! So let's get started!

How To Install The Original Secrets Can Kill Without Discs


(Updated: 05/31/2025)
 
For a little over a year now, I've been trying to figure out the best way to play the original Secrets Can Kill. I have tried everything to editing files and trying to figure out how to mount drives. But now I have finally figured out how and I really want to share it with everyone.  You will have to download one thing but other than that it's super easy and does not require you to change any code or do anything complicated.  So let's get started get started!

Going Medieval Review


Another day, another sim city builder game!  As you can tell, I'm slightly addicted to these kind of games, even though I consider myself terrible at them once things get difficult.  But that's never stopped me before!  I've been watching Medieval a few months before it was released and I was super exited when I was able to get the chance to buy it and finally play it!  I bought the game when I was at my peak of busy college classes but I made sure that I made time to finally play the game!  Going Medieval was developed by Foxy Voxel and published by The Irregular Corporation on June 1st, 2021.  So let's get started!

Going Medieval: Fort Building

Game Description
"In the world of Going Medieval, dark age society is on its knees. At the end of the 14th century, 95% of the global population has perished due to rampant plague.

Eventually, survivors emerge from society’s ashes, and it’s now up to you to help them settle in a dangerous new land reclaimed by nature. Build your people a home, help shape their lives, and protect them from animals, bandits, and other dangers in a lawless post-calamity age."

Going Medieval: Farming

Gameplay/Controls 
I absolutely love the gameplay in Going Medieval!  There is so much you can customize in this game when it comes to buildings, farming, and etc.  I absolutely love this feature.  I can make my buildings as large as I want, I can make them any shape, and I could make them as tall as I want too!  This made is absolutely perfect and I just loved it.  The controls were also super simple and easy to use.  I will admit though that I find it kind of tiring of having to tell each individual character what jobs they can and can't do.  at the moment I only have 4 people but I know what once that number increases it will be a lot more difficult.  But maybe thats the point as you build up.

Going Medieval: Winter Castle

World/Graphics
I have my graphics set more to a medium as my computer can't handle going any higher, but even on medium the world is absolutely gorgeous!  I love all the tiny details that I can see.  This is especially true when it's raining and snowing.  It just makes the world so pretty and the time changes to make the world more dark or lighter really highlighted the world and make it better so that I could work while my characters were asleep.

Thank you everyone for reading!  I have had an absolute blast playing Going Medieval and I think I have a new favorite city builder game!  I can't wait to see what the developers do next for the game!  So I think its time to go back and continue my game and try my best to expand as much as possible before I end up having to restart due to forgetting about the character needs.   If you want to check out my Games Review page where I have all my current reviews!

Until next time,
