GG3 sets in the new year like the old one ended, by providing gameplay commentary to some of the finest game deals around the globe. In the latest Indie Royale promotion, the Debut 8 Bundle has a 8 inspiring games on offer. Claustrophobia is the roguelike to be illustrated, to give a sense of what other great adventures this deal has.
While folks will immediately remember Desura’s troubles paying developers since two weeks ago, these issues may be traceable as far back as when Linden Lab sold it.
The Indie bundle companies have a collective bad habit. They rarely notify their customers when new Steam keys are added to their bundles. Well, that happens a lot more often than you might expect. Whether it's a DRM free game, a game that was stuck in Greenlight, or a game that existed only on Desura, for one reason or another, Steam keys get added to these bundles weeks, months, or even years later.

I haven’t dedicated nearly as much of my time as I might expect with the “Roguelike” genre as a whole, even though it seems pretty up my alley overall. Claustrophobia: The Downward Struggle may change all that for me; it’s not a perfect game, but it sure is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed exploring the extensive, randomly-generated dungeons — and I got to see a lot of them over the course of this review, because if there’s one thing that Claustrophobia has a lot of, it’s situations that are pretty tough to survive. Deadly monsters, insidious traps, and the ever-present darkness that makes whatever’s around the next corner or through the next door a wonderful mystery.
