Mainland Review

Mainland

A Simple Text Adventure Game

Developer: Vasily Voronkov, Ryan Joseph, Peter Kosyh
Publisher: Instead Community

Released on May 8, 2015

Mainland is an interactive text storybook adventure set in the 19th century. After a closer look, I’m more convinced that it is not actually a game but rather a fictional novel where you type commands into the text box to generate a specific action.

You control an explorer who was shipwrecked on an unknown island, being the sole survivor of a plague that killed both the captain and crew. The narrative is told in 1st person from his perspective as you progress through the entries written in his diary.

Genre: Free-to-play Indie Game

Domina is akin to the “new kid on the block” in the rogue-like genre of games (marked by dungeon crawling, tile-based graphics, and permadeath.) With a setting in the heyday of gladiator combat, the game brings a few new things to the table both in terms of social live streaming and glorious AI vs. AI gladiator combat.

Genre: An action-strategy simulation game.

In this one, you will be distributing chocolate confections all across the world to seek out new ingredients and recipes.

Genre: Business Simulation
