Shenmue III’s website just got a makeover

Still a ways off Shenmue IIImight still be set for December 2017, but that hasn’t stopped developer YS Net from updating us every month or so, and this time, it has modified the official website.

The Gardens Between hides its mind-boggling puzzles behind a simple interface

FWD/RWD I haven’t really followed news on The Voxel Agents’ upcomingThe Gardens Between. My only real knowledge came from Sony’s Paris Games Week event last October, so I wasn’t sure exactly what changed or how the game was coming along. All I knew was that it was a puzzle game with pretty graphics and it was supposedly employing a simple interface to get its message across. While a lot of that still describes the game to a tee, the amount of depth present in the puzzles with such limited input is impressive....
