The Graveyard
The graveyard is a high-concept game by indie developers Tale of Tales in which you take control of an elderly lady and guide her through a graveyard. Once you have reached the chapel you may sit on the seat. The game ends when you leave the graveyard. It’s an interesting concept which really succeeds in creating a mood of quiet contemplation. You can also buy a full version of the game for $5USD which introduces the possibility of death to the game.

Pingmag – No More
It’s a sad day when decent design blogs die and Pingmag was one of the best of them. Brilliantly written stories covering the fields of art, design, architecture, fashion and many other categories all with a Japanese twist were what made Pingmag so special. Hopefully the site stays up so you can browse the archives (which I highly suggest doing). Farewell Pingmag.
