Oblivion's persuasion wheel has spawned another wacky gamejam, cue sentient cheese struggling to three-point turn gracefully past dancing French rats

The giant cheese wheel I'm trying to roll past them to the safety of a fellow named the Mouseman isn't small. That's probably why its sheer girth is being conveyed by a handy circular status indicator which draws its form from The Elder Scrolls 4's infamous persuasion wheel. This is just one way the devs taking part in the latest Wheeljam have managed to shoeh...

The strange parade of Stardew-style horror farming games continues with Besmirch, in which there is far too much smiling

Here is what I think happened: at some point circa 2020, a cabal of game developers with very long fingernails and offputtingly white teeth got together in a backroom beneath a hideous effigy of a concerned ape, sacrificed a few 'doves', and declared in voices like slamming coffin lids that henceforth, all the descendants of Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon shall be horror games.
