Trouble Hunter Chronicles: The Stolen Creed
Iskonsko Studio has put a lot of hard work into this indie gem and it really shows!
From the starting scene I was instantly hooked and wanted to keep playing to find out how the story unfolded. There’s a lot of puzzles to solve and most of the characters in the game are voiced which I think adds a lot to the immersion.
Don’t be fooled by the demo. The full version is so much better, smooth and fun to play than that early build of the game.
I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Point & Click- adventures

It’s a long path to the truth; good luck getting there.
Though my recommendation is somewhat low, those particularly fond of Point & Click will find more to digest here, if not a sufficient challenge. Trouble Hunter Chronicles: The Stolen Creed is a pretty packed adventure with a lot of dialogue and puzzle-based trials. If one can get past some rather apparent technical visual and auditory mishaps, it’s a perfectly satisfactory mystery title geared towards retro veterans. But I really must stress: good luck.

Undelivered
England, the 1920s. Provincial town called Fate. Bored already? Don’t judge the book by it’s cover!
Plunge into the swirl of events and you’ll realize that Fate is one of the most mysterious and dangerous places you’ve ever heard of!
Where is the local cutie who has suddenly disappeared? What is the doctor’s secret? Is the military test range near the town really dangerous? What are the crazy chemists doing in their laboratories? And what can an ordinary postman do once he suddenly finds himself in the thick of it all?
Undelivered is a detective quest where you have to find the answers to all these questions and decide what to do next!
… It started as a joke or little mischief… Mike, a young postman, learned to open the envelopes so skillfully that no one could ever notice that he reads the letters. At first it was a funny spy game, but then something went wrong. One letter told Mike that the only son of Mrs. Wilson, a lone librarian, had tragically died. Mike decided not to deliver the letter to the poor woman. So Mrs. Wilson didn’t get to know the news. But the postman himself realized that now the fate of the town inhabitants indirectly depends on him…
Mike can’t stop reading the letters, but the more he learns about his neighbors, the stronger he feels that something needs to be done… Because too many dangerous secrets have come out, and now hundreds of people’s lives are at stake.
In this game you will:
-
Watch the life of the city and its inhabitants;
-
Deliver mail and communicate with different people;
-
Solve mysteries and make difficult decisions.
When meeting a “dangerous” letter, you can deliver it to the addressee or not deliver it at your own risk. You can also give it to someone who, in your opinion, will help you deal with the problem mentioned in the letter. However, remember: the road to hell is paved with good intentions!

P0
P0 is a fun, very challenging puzzle game. I got stuck not that far into the game and keep saying just one more try over and over. If you like challenges and puzzle games you will like P0. It was odd at first but after 5 minutes I got the hang of how to play.
I recommend using a controller you will find it easier than using the keyboard. Also when you open the game it is in a small window so you need a program called Borderless Gaming to play this in full screen.

Rather annoying game concept, already at the 1st level. The movement system is rather janky, diagonal movement-inputs (such as W+A or Up+Left arrow key at the same time) get quite often registered as only a horizontal or vertical input, which causes you to basically instantly fail in some levels, forcing you to fully repeat them again.

Digital Siege
To put it blunt it had potential but this is obviously a money grab game that they abondened halfway if u had bought it refund it quick

Introduction
Quite some time has passed since my last review for a title focusing on hacking and other covert activities. It’s a relatively narrow niche, rather than a full-fledged strategic subgenre. In any case, I enjoy such breaks from norm and regard Digital Siege as a slightly more complex tower defense game, to put things into perspective. As in most situations, the best defense can only be offense. Developer Dreambakers had a prolific debut year, as Digital Siege is their sixth consecutive project released in 2018. Just as they describe themselves, I agree on their focus for “experimental games” transcending genre boundries. Intelligence gathering may a pill that’s harder to swallow by some, but it’s a crucial activity nonetheless. As with most “commodities”, what you do with the information afterwards is far more important than stockpiling it, so to speak. Its value never decreases, no matter the parties involved.

Polybius Invaders
If you love retro gaming or grew up with games like Space Invaders, Galaxa, Centipede, Tempest and the many many others, then you will LOVE this game! If you’re a casual gamer, you will LOVE this game! The gameplay is engaging, even when it gets a bit repetitive. I am not a huge gamer at all, and I find myself going back to this game often. The music is calming yet exciting, and, while not chip tune or 8-bit, fits the game’s retro atmosphere well with its synthwave/retrowave sound. The graphics are a fantastic modern send-up to the classic pixelated game graphics of the 70s and 80s arcade games. General Goo, while definitely a villain, actually makes some valid points about our modern society. The gameplay is frenetic, but not too much or overwhelming, even for me, who is on the autism spectrum. Definitely play this gem of a game! This is one game that I want to actually beat, and keep playing. If classic arcades were still around like they used to be, this would be well worth your quarters!

Steel Sword Story
Steal Sword Story is a fun little action platformer with pixelated retrographics. The gameplay, enemies and level design are all reasonably well done but you won’t come across anything new or innovative. It is a very casual game, and you do not need a lot of practice to beat it. As soon as you figured out the attack patterns of the various enemy types and bosses, your second playthrough of SSS is a proverbial walk in the park. After you get the ‘dash’ ability which allows you to dash through enemies without getting injured, you can actually quickly race through every level (except the boss fights obviously) without killing even a single opponent and taking zero damage – but you won’t collect any gems though, so this is not recommended and not how the game is meant to be played.

This is a very nice little game.
It won’t blow your socks off, but it was exactly what I needed. I had been playing Legends of Eisenwald, which was a long, dense, and often frustrating game, so I wanted something lighter - which Steel Sword Story provided!
I played 1001 Spikes a few months ago and I think that is one of the best platformers out there. It was very difficult, but always fair. It was very demanding, though - you could easily spend 20 minutes on a 20 seconds level later on.
Still, that game left me perfectly satisfied after beating the main campaign with all the collectables.
