Midnight Girl is a 2D point-and-click adventure game developed by Italic ApS, a Copenhagen-based indie game company founded by Thomas Ryder and Camilla Pedersen. Set in France during the mid-1960s, players take control of late-teen tomboy Monique, an amateur cat-burglar living in Paris who ends up crossing paths with a legendary thief called The Night Owl.

The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo is a surreal point-and-click adventure game created by artist, 2D animator and director Nacho Rodríguez, previously the animation director of Ubisoft’s gamified, connected program O.zen. Described by publisher Meridiem Games as ‘a new take on the adventure game genre that will appeal to veteran players and newcomers alike’, players must take control of Mr. Coo in a strange and nonsensical world as he tries to find the three pieces of his body that have become separated – his head, torso and legs – and put himself back together again.

Alternative Magazine Online reviewed Burnhouse Lane earlier this year, describing it as ‘a wonderful horror adventure that is quite frankly unmissable for those who loved the Devil Came Through Here trilogy.’ As a longtime fan of Harvester Games and The Cat Lady, Downfall: Redux and Lorelai, I have followed Remigiusz Michalski’s career for well over a decade now and he is yet to disappoint. I am therefore delighted to present an exclusive online interview with Rem – aka the Stephen King of video games – where we discuss the creation of Burnhouse Lane, working collaboratively with his brother and what the future holds.

When composer Robert Holmes last joined Alternative Magazine Online for a chat at the end of 2021, he was kind enough to tell us all about his latest project Sequel – an album inspired by his soundtracks for the Gabriel Knight trilogy and Gray Matter (iconic adventure games written by his wife, legendary game designer Jane Jensen – what can I say, they’re a talented family!) Now, it’s 2023 and the album is out there being listened to and enjoyed by fans all over the world. Therefore, I am proud to welcome Robert back to AMO for yet another exclusive online interview where we talk about his creative process, the best cover versions of his music, and the importance of bringing beauty and positivity into the world.
