How sci-fi game worlds take on capitalist promises of success
Since 1984’s Elite, and in sci-fi before it, space has promised careers of freedom. Work for yourself, work only when you want to, make your own adventures. For better and for ill, space is sci-fi’s wild west, a lawless frontier to explore and find independence. Our actual future isn't as glamorous, even if those frontier promises are the same ones made by the gig economy.…
Will Dad Quest explain the mystery of where all these dads keep coming from?
Dads: what are they? Where do they come from? Why are they here? And how have these pod people managed to replace a full half of Rock, Paper, Shotgun? Some say games can offer powerful insight into others' lives but, beyond Shower With Your Dad Simulator, almost all dad games star raging goons who stomp out the teeth of anyone who goes near their daughter…

The point is, Sundae Month's game looks delightful! We may not get to play it until spring, but for now I'm enjoying a whole load of lovely moving pictures.
Éric Chahi's Another World did many things right, but what I believe it really excelled at was conveying the feeling that you were somewhere drastically different. Somewhere otherworldly yet also sensible and at times familiar and this is the exact same sensation Sundae Month's Petrichor manages to re-create.
As the leaves start to fall, so too the balance of my humours slips. My blood sinks and, as I'm naturally dry of yellow bile, my body is swamped with phlegm and black bile. I'm drawn to ponds and rainy woodlands, phlegmatic and melancholic, sighing wistfully as I drift in cold water and tread carefully across wet litter. Oh, it's a lot more pleasant than…
