Hey O&G Fans, during last weeks New York Comic Con, we were invited to check out 505 Games Fall preview event. They showcased four games, The Guest, Adrift, Indivisible, and How To Survive 2.

THE GUEST

Team Madrid's chilling first person exploration game filled with puzzles, secrets and riddles. This game was pretty good. You have to solve puzzles to get out of each room, that really challenge you, starting easy at first, then working your brain hard to figure it out. With beautifully rendered environments, it give you a feel of the classic looking hotel while amercing you in the game play.  For anyone who likes challenges and mysteries this is the game for you.  
 

Adrift

Last March we got an opportunity to check out Adrift (on the big Theater Screen and the Oculus) During NYCC, we were invited back to see the New Build. The game still looks amazing and even better through the Oculus where you are completely amerced in the game.
