A Sirius Game

Posted by Rampant Coyote on January 30, 2012

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 26, 2011

Jason Compton recently made it official and announced that he has canceled The Broken Hourglass as a commercial product.

Last weekend, my family and I went to visit my in-laws. I brought my laptop. And a copy of Hanako Games’ new game, Magical Diary: Horse Hall.

Quick Take: Sylia

Posted by Rampant Coyote on July 6, 2011

I think at this point it’s pretty safe to say that I’m a somewhat veteran, hardcore computer RPG fan.  Console RPGs, too, to a lesser degree.
