Gold-Plated Games

Okay, now we’ve got some Weeklong Deals worth talking about! Some recent favorites of mine have shown up, including the lovely Eastshade and the creepy Yuppie Psycho. There’s also a new entry in the Rusty Lake/Cube Escape series, and perhaps to celebrate all the previous games are discounted. It’s a big week for adventures and horror, and there’s plenty to like with this lineup.

In case anyone missed the other announcements, we’re expanding our streaming operation from this week with a chill new initiative. After everyone enjoyed Dragon Quest Builders 2 so much last Friday, I’m going to start doing unscheduled chill streams to continue it on my off days. That means on any Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday, I might toss up a random stream for questing and constructing. Be sure to follow at least one of our social channels for the announcements, or just follow our Twitch channel to be notified when we go live!
