Aran’s Bike Trip
cool little experience about a man trapped inside a body of a bike, ending with the man drinking a potion that made him go back to his body… i think.
i was focused grabbing those hidden bike drawings.

Charming little game based on 360º photos. It’s quite short, but full of nice little jokes along the way (especially the cow horse game). In addition, the game contains hidden object scenes where you have to search for small bicycles. The game gives nice glimpses of the landscape around Utrecht and in Gelderland, and I would recommend it to gamers who miss 360º degree point & click games and appreciate a little trip into nature.

Schizm: Mysterious Journey
SCHIZM: Mysterious Journey
JUST LIKE FINDING THE MARY CELESTE
You are about to participate in a great adventure.
It is the year 2083. Ten months ago, the first humans landed on Argilus. They found cities, towns, industrial installations - all deserted. Doors unlocked. Meals unfinished. Amazing machinery still working. But no people.
It was like finding the Mary Celeste on a planetary scale.
LIVING SHIPS, FLOATING CITIES, A FASCINATING MYSTERY
Science teams were brought in, research bases set up. Four months later, your supply ship has been sent to check on these bases. But when you hail them from orbit, there’s no answer. The science teams, too, seem to have vanished.
Now your systems are failing and you and your crewmate have no choice but to abandon ship. But where can you go? Where else?
SCHIZM: MYSTERIOUS JOURNEY is a thrilling First Contact adventure where you play both members of the Earth supply vessel Angel as you explore the fascinating landscape of an alien world filled with mystery and intrigue
.
On 4 December 1872, the 103-foot brigantine Mary Celeste was discovered drifting abandoned in the Atlantic 590 miles west of Gibraltar. The captain’s log and the crew’s personal effects were found on board. The cargo was intact. There was an unfinished letter on the mate’s desk, the imprint of a child’s head on a pillow on one of the bunks. To this day, no one knows what became of the captain, his family and the crew of seven.
When the first humans landed on Argilus on 24 June 2083, they found towns, cities, evidence of fascinating alien technology, but all abandoned, with clear signs that the inhabitants had only just departed. Doors were unlocked, meals unfinished. Amazing machinery was still working away. But no people. It was like discovering the Mary Celeste on a planetary scale.
Earth Central wanted answers. The planet was classified Restricted and put under immediate quarantine. Experts were sent in. Three science teams - nearly a hundred of Earth’s finest first contact specialists - set up science and monitoring outposts at three promising locations: Base One at Bosh’s Tunnels, under Dr Angela Davies, Base Two at Symphony Harbor, under Dr Gustav Tomlin, and Base Three at Rainbow Landing, under Dr Frances Bremmer.
Because of a particularly active planetary magnetosphere, the surface teams found it impossible to contact Earth directly. Though able to make limited radio contact with one another, the constant electromagnetic interference in the atmosphere prevented messages being routed through the orbital beacon in the usual manner. At first, eager mission leaders could use shuttles to return to the orbiting expedition base ship, Tarquin, and broadcast from there, but twenty days after the expedition’s arrival, Tarquin fell silent and vanished from surface radar scans. It had either left the area or - an alarming prospect - had been destroyed in orbit. The teams on Argilus were effectively cut off from Earth.
That was just the beginning. Scientists began to go missing. One by one, wherever they were working, alone or in company, personnel at all three bases started disappearing. Was it something they touched, some device they activated, some secret they discovered? No one could say. Every day, the survivors were faced with the nightmare of discovering who had vanished this time, and were left frantically, desperately, uselessly seeking answers.
Now, four months later, the mission supply ship Angel approaches Argilus to make the first follow-up contact, but its crew - experienced spacers and xeno specialists Sam Mainey and Hannah Grant - can’t raise any response from the planetary bases. There is no sign at all of the expedition mothership.
Knowing that communication from the surface is difficult, and following special ECS mission directives, Captain Mainey takes Angel into a much closer orbit than usual, to where Angel’s enhanced com systems should be able to raise someone. There’s still no response. Bounceback signatures are positive. Com systems seem to be online and operational, but no-one answers. It’s as if the Earth science teams have simply vanished.
Sam and Hannah know what they must do. Given the circumstances, standard ECS procedure is to abort the landing, withdraw to a safe distance and await instructions. But the moment they try to pull back to where they can notify Earth of what has happened, Angel’s main systems fail. Com and engines are out. Life support is falling to critical. The ship’s orbit is beginning to decay.
Sam Mainey and Hannah Grant have no choice but to use the life-pods and abandon ship, even though they have not yet received the classified 902 mission briefing they were meant to get once contact with the scientists had been made.
STRANGE NEW WORLD
Though Sam and Hannah agree to rendezvous at Base One, and adjust their life-pods' comp systems accordingly, weather and electromagnetic variables cause them to land quite some distance from each other, so their first exposure to the new world finds them on their own.
Hannah lands on a fascinating living ship adrift in the middle of the Great Northern Ocean, and Sam on one of a cluster of balloons floating high above one of the continents. Though their radio links are operational, they both quickly find that the atmospheric interference makes communication impossible. They set their links on record, both as a routine mission log for those back home and in case their missing crewmate can access the data later. Then, with no other choice, they begin exploring this strange new world.
With Sam and Hannah, you will experience every step of this fascinating journey of discovery, face their problems, share their successes and disappointments. With luck and skill, you might even unlock the ultimate mystery of Argilus.
ONLY YOU CAN UNLOCK THE SECRET!
SCHIZM: Mysterious Journey is graphical, first person perspective, 3D prerendered adventure game with a compelling nonviolent SF story combined with highly non-linear gameplay, where the player chooses the order in which most of the puzzles are solved.
SCHIZM offers a mix of puzzles of varied type, including mechanical, logical, sound and inventory based, seamlessly integrated with the fascinating story created in collaboration with award-winning Australian science fiction writer Terry Dowling, appealing to everyone from newcomers to the field to die-hard adventure gamers. The story itself unfolds as an intriguing puzzle waiting to be solved.
The player simultaneously controls two protagonists who can explore the game independently, further expanding the game’s non-linearity and freeing the player from the annoying situation of being stuck at a particular puzzle. Both protagonists can solve puzzles independently, but their cooperation is required at certain points in the game. The story involves interaction with several live characters and information interchange between the protagonists. The player won’t feel left alone on a deserted planet.
VISUALS
Distinctive environments where the action takes place, both indoors and outdoors, created by gifted individual artists - floating balloon towns, mysterious underground locations, abandoned industrial cities, sea-floating organic spaceships.
Breathtaking, highly detailed, photorealistic, 3D prerendered graphics.
AUDIO
Crystal clear sound effects and ambient soundscapes, all presented in stereo and in 16-bit quality. Users of 3D accelerated sound cards can enjoy the full 360 degree real-time sound positioning according to the changing position of the player.
Ambient, nondistracting, interactive digital soundtrack that changes according to the player’s actions. The game uses MPEG Audio Layer 3 compression which allows for lengthy CD quality music.
MUSIC
The music is delivered in gorgeous CD quality thanks to the licensed audio compression technology. This allows for lengthy soundtrack but the compression ratio will be carefully chosen in order to avoid any quality degradation.

The 18th Floor
I really enjoyed the game so far. The puzzles are challenging and I really like the style. But I’m a little disappointed with the lack of transparency from the creators. The last news we have been given is that more puzzles will be released in Q4 of last year. We are now on the brink of Q2 this year and still nothing. I just today found out that PSVR was updated but not steam (which bummed me out). So I would love to know what the deal is and if we can expect the DLC for Steam players soon too. Please AOGA Tech give us an update! I see that there are new achievements so I hope that means it won’t be too long. AOGA, I humbly ask that you keep the people who invested in your game updated in regards to progress. When I bought the game I thought I would be seeing more than 2 floors by the end of the year. Please let us know what to expect AOGA! I’m sure I’m not the only one who would appreciate it!

personally, I really liked the game but to be honest, I thought that the puzzles were a little overboard. There are things going on in the puzzle that I swear only people who created it would be able to figure out. I was starting to wonder if some of the people trying to help out were people who actually made the puzzle themselves and realized that it would take many days for the common player to figure out. The one thing that I really messed up is the fact that some of the puzzles are hard enough to figure out that it will take some people more then just a few minutes and yet, if you dont finish it, you cant save it and have to start all over. There does need to be a save feature so we dont have to keep playing the same scene over and over again. A save feature may also help out with the common problem of dropping something and having the item disappear into the floor so that you cant use it and then have to start the game over just to get it back. I do recommend the game though. I thought the graphics were great and I was fully into the game. I do look forward to the next installment

PT+
After too long in front of the computer screen, it’s time to switch on the VR and refurb the neck with PT+. I can really tell how much this helps. Are you people with “cell phone posture” listening?

This is an incredibly simple, yet effective application to help you stretch your neck. Perfect for anyone spending long periods of time at a computer.
Note: Not to be confused with a similarly named reboot of a dead franchise.

Click and Relax
Just no

Well… it’s something.
The game only has 5 “game modes” which consist of something non-sensical and boring, there isn’t really anything “relaxing” or satisfying about them. The music cannot be adjusted and is pretty loud. Honestly it just feels like a school project from 2005 done by two students that just served to be presented infront of a class and then forgotten. Definetly not worth the money, I got it from a steam gift

This is a very bad billiards game. There are a large number of bugs in this game. You can’t even quit the game normally. You can only use Alt + F4. And one achievement is broken. I bet even if Judd Trump come to play this game, he would cry and go back to find his mother.
It’s time to uninstall.
