Calum Fraser

Founder of Alpha Beta Gamer and all round video game enthusiast, especially quirky indies. Aware that we're now in the golden days of video gaming. Hairier than any human should be.

Got a soft spot for Braid and Limbo though because they were the first ones that really got me into indie gaming.

Each beautifully hand drawn room is a self contained puzzle that’s shrouded in darkness, in which you must activate, move or uncover light sources to create a path for little Noony (the young boy).  … Read More
