The Hub of Reid Harris Cooper

Rarely do I write a review of a game I for the most part did not enjoy, which means there must have been something about the game I did enjoy. For Cloud Cat’s Land it was the art. The art is infectious, adorable, a pure joy to the eyes. Unfortunately it is the only thing in the game I truly can commend. Confusing writing that did not seem to mesh up or tie up, poorly concieved logic for a point and click that was more point and click till something happens and not knowing why it did and mini-games that felt like coding 101 instead of well concieved. I actually would have NEVER gotten to the end without a walkthrough. The strangest thing is I did have fun, but I was as grumpy as the cats that get grumpy through it cause I would read “combine *** with ****” and go “what?” and honestly be “that worked… why?”. Even when the game went meta and said many of these things were not logical, there was an answer to a puzzle later where the game patted itself on the back for creativity, but it wasn’t… it was just well dumb. Meta joke references to the greatest point and click games like Maniac Mansion which prided itself on “why did that work?” logic does not excuse it, as those games you still understood the logic that got you to the logic that should not work, here it was just surreal to be so. The art though… the art. Also I mean if you like surreal, illogical, and cats? Then it’gos the game for you and the art I posted below only scratches the surface, there is so much more to see and that is worth the $12.34 US + tax or whatever or you can also wait for sales.

Barkour puts you in the paws of Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R., a four-legged special agent equipped with high-tech gadgets, acrobatic agility, and undeniable canine charm. From stealthy infiltration to full-on combat or jaw-dropping parkour runs, every mission gives players the freedom to choose their own approach.

Key Features

• A serious agent, and a not-so-serious dog – T.H.U.N.D.E.R. may be a professional agent, but he still wags his tail, flicks his ears, and acts like a real dog at heart.
• Blend stealth, barkour, and combat – no two playthroughs are the same – sneak past enemies, strike hard, or outpace them with agility.
• Hi-tech gadgets galore – from grappling hook to rocket launcher, equip tools worthy of a four-legged T.H.U.N.D.E.R., Agent T.H.U.N.D.E.R.
• Diverse worlds to explore – gothic castle, perilous greenhouse, creepy amusement park, secret headquarters, and more.

I don’t generally “review” a demo and this is less a review and more a recommendation.

Nothing Strange Here is a very zen like 3rd person “point and click” adventure with a camera mechanic for observation and puzzle solving. The demo gives a good flavor of the game and the strangeness that is not there. It’s worth checking out for a good hour and exploring things and get well appetized for the full game.

The living carrots, the family band, your uncle’s pink ties, the overarching mystery and how big can it go? The demo ends at certain point but allows you to go back and try and get all the achievements if you so desire, so it really is a sweet morself of something that feels it can be very big in the end.

You can download the demo here.

Play the demo, go the website, get confused but also excited.

Unreality Seeps into Real Life: First-Person Horror oneway.exe Launches Oct. 7

A love letter to internet horror

THE INTERNET – September 18, 2025 – oneway.exe, a first-person single-player horror puzzle game where the darkest corners of the Internet become reality from Disordered Media, launches the first chapter of multiple new realities on Tuesday, Oct. 7, for PC/Mac via Steam.

Stuck inside an unfinished game created by three developers whose lives took a tragic turn, explore the haunted halls of UNTITLED.EXE to discover digital horrors underlying reality itself. Meet an ensemble cast of eight memorable characters inspired by scary internet stories as they claw into real life from digital realms beyond comprehension.

Navigate a virtual environment that simulates a full operating system, allowing interaction with applications and files just like any old, real-life computer. Explore fully realized 3D environments full of grim implications for future chapters. Fall down rabbit holes and chase the truth to come face to face with your own past — and the horrors that brought you here.

Now, what’s that sound from underneath the door? Could be a router, or a table saw, or…Spiderface. Maybe it’s Mikey’s radioactive airwaves trying to spread the rockstar’s dominion over the real world? Or, perhaps, the whispered dregs of Ophelia’s suffocating revelations uttered through a gurgling throat? Let’s hope so, for the horror of what else awaits is immeasurable.

Submerge into suffocating spheres of otherworldly influence, sleuth around environmental clues, and dig through the sentimental sediment of 7 different paths before reality becomes replaced. Find more than one way to escape from the deranged characters haunting the program’s digital halls to the tunes of an original soundtrack composed by Marcy Nabors (DELTARUNE).

“Our game is more inspired by internet culture than ‘games’ as a medium,” said Bugs Ray, Co-Founder at Disordered Media. “Being online at a young age, we wanted to make a game that pays homage to various eras of culture,” said Spider Ray, Co-Founder. “Flash animations, online forums, kids’ websites, horror videos, creepypastas — we want others to experience the feeling these sub-cultures provided, but in a new interactive way.”

oneway.exe gains sentience as the first chapter launches on PC/Mac via Steam on Tuesday, Oct. 7. For more information, visit the Disordered Media website, join the official Discord, check out the oneway.exe ARG (if you dare), and follow @disorderedgames on X/Twitter.
