THEE upNup on Geo Mythica
Guin Entertainment is no stranger to THEE upNup. We reviewed their previous game “The Adventures of Chris” about a year ago and fell in love with the tight controls, retro feel, expansive world, and its lovable but unlikely hero Chris (who bares a striking resemblance to our own Gorky Romano). The studio’s upcoming game was hinted at briefly in our last interview with Chris and when we saw Geo Mythica was showing at MAGfest 2024 we knew we had to make sure to clear a spot in our schedule to stop on by their booth.
THEE upNup on Deep Mess!
This year THEE upNup got to check out the Indie Developer Hall at MAGfest 2024 and got to see lots of great games by amazing developers. We were impressed by so many but one standout game for us was tactical strategy game Deep Mess by Glass Jury. With inspiration from cult favorite Into The Breach this game has you controlling units as you nail a spike deeper and deeper down into a gods brain with the ultimate goal being LOBOTOMIZE GOD! If there was ever a tagline for a game that is it.

Annapurna Interactive 2022
Today the beloved game developer ANNAPURNA took the stage to showcase a few games planned to come out over the next year and even a couple of shadow drops. It was a light show of trailers and teasers that featured a collection of light-hearted narrative games each with stylized graphics. Between reveals were small developer spotlights on studios like Cardboard Computer of Kentucky Route Zero fame and a two-person penpal “Postal Service-esq” team that began working on a game without ever meeting. There were a few new console announcements and then ended with a thrilling realistic-looking first-person dinosaur survivor game.
