Of Two Minds: Walkthrough Guide

Of Two Minds By: Burgeon & Flourish Of Two Minds is a full motion video (FMV) game about psychoanalysis. It's made from video clips that were recorded in the eighties.

‘Telling Lies’ Review: How Deep Are You Willing to Dig?

Telling Lies By: Sam Barlow / Annapurna Interactive Last week, I wrote up a very vague preview of Sam Barlow's Telling Lies, the spiritual successor to one of my favorite games ever, Her Story. I emphasized the length and scope of the game as, instead of one actress, we now get a full cast.
