New week, new PC games, new Maw liveblog, hungering for our headlines! But first, the obligatory paragraph of twaddle: lately I’ve been wondering whether we should put the Maw on a diet. The creature may be indiscriminate, but we news sentinels have noticed that stuffing the Gorging Chutes with certain story flavours can produce… eruptions. Our pataphysical nutritionists have accordingly devised a new regimen of no more than two Bethesda headlines a week, plus at least one game marketed as a “deconstruction”, and double helpings of ray-tracing on Fridays. Will we stick to it? Probably not, but I’m interested to hear what you all consider a healthy weekly diet of news. While you ponder, here’s what’s hitting the digi-shelves in the next five days.
On Monday 10th March, a choice of two cat games: Order 13, in which you fulfil delivery orders in a haunted warehouse while trying to protect your tabby, and Cheaters Cheetah, in which you are a dirty no-good aimbotting wallhacker and so is everybody else. On Tuesday 11th March, it’s time to wipe out and run a teashop in Wanderstop. Too picturesque for you? Then share a cuppa with the rat goblins in highbrow point-and-clicker Centum instead. Wednesday 12th March sees the release of another Inkle mystery in Expelled!, while Thursday 13th March gives us Midnight Murder Club, a multiplayer FPS in which darkness is both enemy and friend. And closing the week on Friday 14th March, we have Travel On, Pigeon – possibly the anti-Untitled Goose Game.
Our latest news liveblog lies below, festering for attention like an oversunned compost heap. Near it lurks our comments thread, like a rake in the grass. By all means spring up and surprise us with new game recommendations. Have a great week.

Also via Piano Concerto Gamer – you can apparently beat Doom: The Dark Ages without firing a gun. It’s apparently pretty hard, though less impressive when you consider the game’s roster of melee implements, including the self-explanatory Skullcrusher.
Via Police Constable Gamer, the terrifying prospect of a Baldur’s Gate 3 Stardew Valley mod that adds a whole ‘nother village with a romanceable Astarion.
Here’s a community Q&A from the Inzoi developers, covering such topics as swimming pools, memories, and whether pixellation censorship is more sexy than wearing a towel in the shower.
Fleet-footed shooter Echo Point Nova has received a big update, adding new islands, guns, a slow-mo weapon selection wheel, a Rogue mode with randomised bits, and more besides.
MONDAY WITH GARLIC MAYO
This week the days are being served with delicious condiments of all kinds. What’s your favourite? Do you swear by good, honest tomato ketchup or do you favour something fancier, like *runs word scrambler* caramelised butterfly wings? Whatever it is, FEED IT TO THE MAW.
