Description
It’s time for Debug #11! Our cover story shines a spotlight on Quantum Witch, the quirky, emotional “plotformer” by solo developer NikkiJay. We explore its ZX Spectrum‑inspired visuals, waveforms‑based branching narrative, and the deeply personal story at its core, touching on identity, queerness, and escaping religious trauma.
Packed cover‑to‑cover with previews, reviews, features, and interviews, this issue features over 100 games, including Paralives, My Familiar, Mechanimals, SHADE Protocol, Agent 64: Spies Never Die, Outclaw, Dreams of Another, Mashina, Tormented Souls 2, and Platypus Reclayed – plus dozens more.
Our reviews section is just as stacked, with in‑depth takes on Ruffy and the Riverside, The Alters, JDM: Japanese Drift Master, Ex‑Zodiac, Aureole – Wings of Hope, Duck Detective: The Ghost of Glamping, Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, The Drifter, PaperKlay, and many more.
Elsewhere, we dive deep into our newly launched Debug++, Norwich Games Festival, and Develop:Brighton. We also visit Silver Lining Interactive to peek behind the curtain at their latest projects, and comedian Alasdair Beckett‑King stops by to share why he loves a good game of Cluedo.
Columns come courtesy of Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou, Rahul Gandhi, Robby Bisschop, James Lightfoot, Quang DX, and Caspar Field, offering expert perspectives on creativity, design, and the ever‑evolving indie scene.
