Trailer: https://youtu.be/VoAg3VVSeb4
Release Date: November 10th, 2022

Puppet’s thoughts: The game only saves when you die and every playthrough is different—this game definitely has some unique gameplay! There are jumpscares galore and the soundtrack is incredible.
THE EXCAVATION OF HOB’S BARROW
Developer: Cloak and Dagger Games
Trailer: https://youtu.be/x-1C_9RQJb8
Release Date: September 28th, 2022
Available on: PC/Linux/MacOS on Steam and gog.com
Emily’s thoughts: I love a good mystery/thriller/horror game. This point-and-click adventure has visceral artwork reminiscent of The Last Door and gives off serious Wicker Man vibes.
PARADISE MARSH
Developer: LazyEti
Trailer: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1709170/Paradise_Marsh/
Release Date: October 13th, 2022
Available on: Steam, XBox, Nintendo Switch
Emily’s thoughts: I love the low-res cell shaded art style. I’m looking forward to filling a notebook with stickers and doodles and collecting all the things!! I also love the silly puns (isn’t it just ribbiting?) and the fact that the audio/soundtrack is by the incredibly talented Disasterpeace (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Bodies Bodies Bodies, It Follows).
FLYING NEKO DELIVERY
Developer: Fractal Phase
Trailer: https://youtu.be/-Z2Hm-YxDkc
Release Date: October 20th, 2022
Available on: PC, Nintendo Switch
Puppet’s thoughts: This game has literally everything I love in a cozy game: decorating, making friends, flying around making deliveries, and being a little witchy cat. Could it get any better??
THE LAST HERO OF NOSTALGAIA
Developer: Over the Moon Studios
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKpNmNdLHLo
Release Date: October 19th, 2022
Available on: Steam, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One
Taz’s thoughts: What a whimsical game. The trailer is hilarious and the gameplay looks great. I’m looking forward to playing this game with the other Ravens.
POTION PERMIT
Developer: Masshive Media
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uQPlRP5XC4&ab_channel=PlayStation
Release Date: September 22nd, 2022
Available on: Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Amazon Luna, Steam
Taz’s thoughts: I like that the crafting has a purpose: to “diagnose and find a cure”. The town in this game relies on how you perform in your own shop. It looks pretty immersive. I think I’m going to have quite a few hours of gameplay in this one.
