The Roach Hotel is a short horror game that takes place inside the Oxley Hotel, a place that is supposed to be a nice relaxing resort but clearly has something very wrong going on. I go there looking for my missing sister after she takes a job at the hotel and stops getting in touch. Pretty quickly the place starts feeling less like an abandoned building and more like something that is actively watching me. I spend most of my time exploring the halls, looking for clues and trying to work out what happened while dealing with the constant threat of the roaches and whatever else is hiding around the hotel. The atmosphere is probably the strongest part for me. The PS1 style graphics and VHS look give everything a dirty and uncomfortable feeling without needing really detailed visuals. The hotel itself is also designed well for this kind of horror because normal looking rooms can suddenly feel completely wrong once I notice something has changed. I like the way the game uses darkness too. The flashlight makes me feel like I need to keep looking around, and knowing there could be roaches or something worse just outside the part of the room I can see makes even simple exploration a littl…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
