SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BODY
By Karin Malady This could be about Elden Ring since everyone is talking about it, but there’s something else more important on my mind. That’s right, EverymanHYBRID, the slenderman ARG YouTube horror series that is basically the plot of Kingdom Hearts. Alternate Reality Games want you to feel like you’re in on a little secret….
FRED NOLAND INTERVIEW
By Bryn Gelbart Last time I was on Deep Hell I wrote about contract labor and the gig economy. That was through the lens of a handful of video games. Today, I’m talking to a real person about freelancing, writing and the difference between ambition and drive. That’s a big step up, if you…
AN OUTCRY (Developer Interview)
Over the holiday break of 2021, I had the pleasure of being included in the list of people cool enough to get a shot at playing AN OUTCRY. An outcry bills itself as “A branching-path narrative horror RPG set in Vienna, Austria. Guide the Unnamed through the worst night of their life: Harass your neighbours….
BRING ME ALL YOUR LOVE
The World Ends With You is a crystal-mind game. I mean it’s a solid rock lodged in my memories, a crystal found on the inside of some geode that leaves any fool that picks it up doing something like staring into an endless hallway of mirrors. It’s good but let’s use the passed tense: I…
NO FEAST FOR THE UNDERFED

A hallway hovers over an abyss, crackles in 3D geometry caricatures of concrete and rebar show nothing but a black void that theoretically goes on…
TO THE GARDEN OF MADNESS

Help us hit that goal so we can bring more writers on, and help foster excellent criticism in the world of VIDEOGAMES. There is a world burning underneath our dreams where wicked assassins…
I’M THINKIN ARBY’S
Full of blood and a suspicious combat cocktail. The purest arbiter against depression is action, and boy, the only action I wanna take is going to fucking work. Work makes me happy: it’s where I see my friends. I am so happy when I go to work. There’s no rush like clocking in and knowing…
EVERYBODY LIKES YOU NOW
Last Sunday, the Arizona music scene and more than a hundred lives strung together lost someone near and dear to them. In all of those lives is me, and the person I lost was a friend I’ll always wish I had spent more time with. I haven’t really sat down to process it at all….
