  Simon Chylinski is a former sound designer that worked with Unknown Worlds on the recently released Subnautica.

Remarks that very clearly show Chylinski holds a variety of racist and transphobic tendencies.
  
  I noticed these past few days a number of people voicing their disdain on Twitter for tweets offered up by Chylinski in the past. Some...

Trusted Reviews say that they first learned about a lot of these potential details back in August of 2017. It...

  Hands On Gameplay Preview of Past Cure

  Back in January, I was offered the opportunity to try out an early build of the upcoming psychological thriller meets third-person action title, Past Cure.

Typically, when you play a game you notice that they tend to mesh all of their gameplay elements into a singular focus for the entirety of the experience. There usually isn...
