Survival horror gives Frogwares a useful problem: every bullet, inventory slot, locked door, and safe room has to justify itself. That pressure suits The Sinking City 2 far better than the loose open-world structure of its 2019 predecessor. The first game asked players to investigate a flooded city while tolerating awkward combat and repeated exploration patterns. Its sequel cuts deeply into that design, replacing detective freedom with a focused campaign built around scarce ammunition, interconnected interiors, and creatures that occasionally refuse to stay dead. The shift carries unusual weight for a Ukrainian studio developing during Russia's invasion. Frogwares spent roughly...

Maruša confesses to a stranger online that she got drunk at her mother’s funeral and went to a party. It is impulsive, embarrassing, and probably the most honest conversation she has had since the funeral. Urša Menart understands why that matters. Everything That’s Wrong With You treats the internet as a place where distance can make confession easier, right up until that distance disappears. Maruša (Anuša Kodelja) has spent eight months caring for her mother through terminal cancer, leaving her Berlin life to decay in her absence. After the death, she returns to Slovenia with little sense of what comes...

A capybara choosing their own name turns out to be one of the gentlest gestures in a game filled with talking animals, abandoned theme park rides, and towers of junk balanced on one very patient head. Capy wakes after a flood has destroyed the zoo they called home, stranded among a scattering of islands with little idea where their family has gone. Corvi, a lonely crow with considerably stronger opinions, quickly becomes companion, guide, and self-appointed sibling. Kitten Cup Studio builds Capy Castaway from recognizable cozy-game materials. There are beaches to wander, rubbish to collect, strangers to help, and a...

Mumbai barely gives Thooya and Shweta enough room to pass each other in the hallway. Their apartment has bedrooms, a kitchen and a few thin barriers between them, yet Anuparna Roy keeps filming those spaces as if every square foot has already been claimed by somebody else. Privacy feels provisional. Comfort has to be negotiated. That physical pressure gives Songs of Forgotten Trees its emotional shape. Roy’s 77-minute feature debut pairs two migrant women who initially seem unlikely to become close. Thooya (Naaz Shaikh) is an aspiring actor who supplements her income through sex work. Shweta (Sumi Baghel), newly arrived...

Compassionate leave becomes a fairly theoretical concept once Jim Bergerac spots something nobody else has noticed. Damien Molony’s detective is supposed to be grieving, attending AA meetings and keeping some distance from police work after his wife’s death. Instead, he keeps drifting back toward investigations with the gravitational pull of a man who understands murder scenes better than his own life. That tension remains the most useful idea in Bergerac Season 2. Jim is excellent at his job and increasingly unreliable everywhere else. His teenage daughter Kim has learned to live around his instability, while his mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford continues...

Found footage has spent decades pretending that somebody happened to be holding a camera at exactly the wrong moment. Snapshot pushes that excuse back to 1888, then makes the impossibility part of its charm. Director Joseph Archer and writer Cathy Wippell imagine an amateur inventor named Tamworth, voiced from behind the lens by Tom Stourton, recording Whitechapel through a moving-image machine equipped with synchronized wax-cylinder sound. Historically, the setup is absurd. Cinematically, it gives Archer a terrific toy. Every image appears inside a circular pinhole frame, coated in sepia, scratches, flicker and sudden damage. The easiest way to describe the...
