If you were to tell me that a new game had come out where you play as a lizard and it scratches the itch that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW from here on) and Ico left me with, I’d probably be unsurprised and simply give it a go. A lot of indie games come out now. I’m sure that there’s at least two games that release a day that fly under my radar and are worth my time.

I recently received a preview code from Eastshade Studios to play the opening hours of the upcoming game Songs of Glimmerwick. Within a day of activating this code, the preview copy updated into the publicly available demo. From my experience with the demo, which is still available, I can say that this cozy and seemingly frictionless game still gave me a really hard time.

The dungeon combat is when the idly obtained upgrades are put to the test, and it’s where most of your time with the game open will be spent. The player character will attack a constant stream of single enemies on their own at an interval determined by your upgraded stats, and weak points will occasionally appear on the screen for you to click that deal extra damage.
