Behind the swinging doors at Orbitzenplaycougar

Orbitzenplaycougar began with a simple frustration: most write-ups of browser role-playing games were either shallow lists or copies of the publishers’ own blurbs. We wanted something written by people who had actually lived in these worlds for weeks, who knew what the second month felt like and who would say plainly when a game stopped being fun.

Our focus is wild west and adventure role-players, the games where you start as a nobody on a hostile map and build a reputation slowly. The frontier is the heart of it, but we follow that same feeling into fantasy kingdoms and pirate seas when a game earns its place. Every title on the shelf was played from a fresh account.

We are a small team based in Britain, playing mostly in the evenings and on weekends, just as our readers do. That matters, because these games are designed around real lives, and judging them from a marathon testing session would miss how they actually feel across a normal week.

We update reviews when games change in ways that matter to newcomers, and we read every message readers send. If you think we have got something wrong, tell us. The frontier changes, and so should we.
