- Unknown Pleasures: Adventurer Time - 9 April 2019
Happy New Freelance Year! The receipt-flakes are falling, the accountants are singing their carols, and in every house the children are leaving out tripwires and caltrops to delay the inevitable march of the merciless Father Taxmas. Did you have a good time at Rezzed ? I didn’t go – humans, right? – but that’s fine because we clever ones, we get all the good footage without even leaving our tunnels. And because I showed up for the mixer anyway. They can’t stop me. Unknown Pleasures has spies everywhere. It’s an even wider selection of obscurities for you today, as Unknown Pleasures brings you the best unsung indie games on Steam once more. Confusing RPS staffers by saying their own names to them this week: Groundhog crimes, Bushido yo-yos, and robotic wanderers. (more…)
