We sat down with the developer of Revolutron in the lobby of the InterContinental Hotel for an exclusive look at the adventurous Delivery Cat making waves at GDC. The beauty of the Game Developers Conference (GDC) isn’t just found on the massive, flashing show floor of the Moscone Center. Some of the most exciting discoveries happen in the quiet corners of hotel lobbies, sitting across a coffee table from a passionate indie developer with a laptop and an Xbox controller. On Wednesday, March 11th, our team experienced exactly that. We managed to secure a sit-down meeting with the solo developer…

Hi there! I’m Marie, also known as CtrlQueen. I’m passionate about keeping up with the latest in gaming news and sharing my insights. RPGs steal my heart with their rich narratives and immersive worlds, but I also love unwinding with fun, casual games. Whether you’re here for deep dives into game mechanics or just to chat about your favorite casual game, you’ve found the right place! Let’s game and explore together.
WDR Studios is injecting much-needed adrenaline into the haunted amusement park genre. We went hands-on with a terrifying, fast-paced demo that proves you can’t just hide from your nightmares—you have to outrun them. Let’s be honest: the “mascot horror” genre has become incredibly crowded over the last decade. Ever since Five Nights at Freddy’s blew the doors wide open, we have seen countless iterations of abandoned amusement parks and haunted children’s toys, from the colorful horrors of Poppy Playtime to the eerie corridors of Indigo Park. The formula usually dictates that you walk at a sluggish pace, hide in lockers,…
Toot Games has created a 2D stealth-comedy where you play as a yucky, infinitely stretching appendage. It is weird, it is wonderful, and My Arms Are Longer Now plays perfectly on the Steam Deck. The Game Developers Conference (GDC) is always a treasure trove of unexpected industry shifts and bizarre indie gems. However, this year, one of the most exciting developments came from a studio we usually associate with Friday-night party games and living-room shouting matches. Jackbox Games, the legendary developer behind cultural staples like The Jackbox Party Pack and Quiplash, has officially stepped into the world of third-party indie…
Dream Dock and Digital Vortex Entertainment are blending the cozy mechanics of a fishing simulator with the pulse-pounding dread of a flooded, post-apocalyptic world. If you love ‘DREDGE,’ put this on your radar immediately. Our team sat down for an exclusive hands-on demo of a game that has quietly amassed over 100,000 wishlists on Steam: DREADMOOR. Developed by Dream Dock and published by Digital Vortex Entertainment, DREADMOOR is a dark, first-person fishing adventure set in a completely submerged world rotting from a past catastrophe. Within minutes of taking the helm of my rusted fishing trawler, I instantly got heavy DREDGE…
The $1 million Kickstarter sensation is finally in our hands for G’AIM’E. With revolutionary AI tracking and a satisfyingly heavy kickback, this plug-and-play peripheral is the retro revival we have all been waiting for. Walking the show floor at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) here in San Francisco is usually a blur of cutting-edge Unreal Engine 6 tech demos, AI procedural generation panels, and VR headsets. But nestled among the hyper-modern booths today was a sight that instantly transported me back three decades: a bright, neon-splashed setup featuring a heavy, plastic firearm and a floor pedal. I am, of course,…
Cinnadev’s upcoming cozy adventure, Delphinium, blends crop-tending and crafting with a deeply emotional, branching narrative about loss and rebuilding. Arriving on PC and Xbox in 2027. If you thought the farming simulator genre was exclusively about planting parsnips and cheerfully handing gifts to local townsfolk, publisher Serenity Forge (Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, To the Moon) is about to completely flip your expectations. Teaming up with Australian indie developer Cinnadev, the publisher used the backdrop of the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco to officially pull the curtain back on Delphinium. Slated for a 2027 release on PC and…
