Review: The Graceview Patient by Caitlin Starling
The Graceview Patient is the polar opposite of a feel-good story.
It is confusing, delirious, claustrophobic, at times downright bleak, and frankly horrifying for so many reasons. Yes, I can almost guarantee that Starling’s raw and brilliant fever dream of a medical-horror novel will haunt you. Why? Because it is, to date, the cleverest and truest show of an unreliable narrator that I have read, while also presenting intelligent and nuanced studies into chronic illness, bodily autonomy, medical ethics, healthcare systems that seem to care more about profit margins than the lives they’re supposed to be saving, and disability. What happens when you cannot trust our own mind? Can things be too good to be true?

Review: Dredge
DREDGE is a Lovecraftian fishing game, which is more enjoyable than anything with that description deserves to be. Indeed, there’s a kind of hilarity that it is the second Lovecraftian fishing game I played in 2025. The first was Fallout 76 expansion Gone Fission, which I enjoyed but didn’t have much in the way of […]
