Squeaky Clean
This game is really good. It has a basic UI with easy to get used to game play helped with initial level tutorial texts. The controls are responsive and fluid, making the challenge of this title about you and what you are doing or not doing in some cases.
For the jump scares, it does the job well. While playing, a constant feeling of dread is present, an uncomfortable unease that won’t go away. While cleaning up, it is always random if you are pestered to near insanity or practically left alone, both of which only add to that unease you feel, keeping you anxious. This I personally feel when far into any Day of any Victim and my eyes fall onto the number of what I am finishing up on for wash area. Seeing 53 of 100 you would think would make you feel awesome that you are near done, but it really just adds more stress to your brain as you start thinking you will get really harassed by the baddies during that last time.

Tried this out for a spoopy stream and it didn’t disappoint! Carrion Wave was nice enough to provide me with a code to try it out and, IMO, I’d say it’s worth the $4.99! It’s a bite-sized game that should run you about 2 hours according to the devs, but RNGesus is never on my side when it comes to horror games of this variety, so i’m clocking in nearly 5 hours on it (that, and I got into a debate with my stream about how long one should take to bathe and wash their hair LOL). I’ve played the FNAF games, so this is definitely right up my alley! I’d say give it a go if you’re a fan of FNAF-esque games, give this a shot!

ChillaxVR
Wonderful, immersive, mostly photorealistic environments. Pure ambience. Lots of potential, it’s really nice to have more high quality vr spaces to hang out in. Good value and much needed! Hope it continues to be developed/expanded.
Gripes/wishlist:
-proper knuckles controller support needed for hand model, object interaction, etc.
-only the pagoda environments allow teleportation, would be nice to add teleportation to some of the others (beach, etc.)
-not sure what the abstract space environment is supposed to be like, seems unpolished compared to the others, some glitches with meteor strikes

One year after getting my Rift S, I’m finally giving a VR game a review. I’m doing this because I was suprised at the price compared to quality of this “game”. This is simply a place to sit and relax with 6 different scenarios. It was much better than I expected. I’ve only tried three scenarios, and that was enough for me to wants to review this. Working in a very stressful job by day, I was hoping after a year of VR games, that I could find one where I’m not running from something, or trying to find a fuse to turn on the lights to find a key to a room with a clue, etc. Thanks to the developers for this and I will be following their work for their next “game”.

NIGHTSLINK
This can either be a simplistic, moody walking simulator or a maddening descent into esoteric analysis.
You’re thrust into a hallway. You could almost feel P.T. vibes if not for the low-poly environment. There are no real jumpscares though, just a foreboding desolation. You deliver tapes by knocking on specific doors. What are on these tapes? Why are people afraid to leave their apartments? Why is the world a Silent Hill-like version of Eraserhead’s industrial wasteland? You, probably, will not find an answer to this. There is a lore, but it’s sparse. Everything is built around that feeling of hopelessness and the confusing hints at something bigger going on. The small dialogues paint a picture of a world full of derealization, cosmic horror, and some corporate espionage. It seems easily taken in, but then you ask why you passed up the man usually found smoking in the hallway when you drove on an empty street. You make tapes for the residents and wonder what seemingly mind-altering messages or sounds are on them. Why are things so deafeningly quiet, besides the buzzing behind you?

You’re basically a deliveryman in a post-apocalyptic and eerily quiet world in NIGHTSLINK. Not much context needed because of this game’s brevity and about 30 minutes of gameplay if you play through it twice. As someone who regularly has surreal dreams, and those bordering on nightmares are only so because of this impossible feeling of intense anxiety and dread. NIGHTSLINK is a little like that; a lot of uncertainty and a sprinkling of dread, and lovecraftian horror.
I think NIGHTSLINK’s strength is prevalent in its sound design, because some parts of it genuinely live up to the phrase “piercing silence”. Quite literally. And because I’m a sucker for retro/PSx styles in modern indie games, I have to praise that too. Just the right amount of unsettling and darkness, and the sound design helps sell the disconcerting atmosphere. I won’t try to pretend there’s any story, or at least that there’s any need to try and decipher the hypothetical story to make this game “better”, I think it’s good as-is and the lack of context just makes it all the more harrowing. Don’t get me wrong though, it does a terrific job hinting at its worldbuilding, which I absolutely love.

Depanneur Nocturne
A lighthearted exploration game where you are browsing a store for a perfect gift, anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes depending on how many achievements you want to hit; however, I want to point out that most of the secrets in this game add a lot to the experience. There are a few hidden areas that you could miss if you decide to end the game prematurely, so I would encourage everyone to fully explore it - pretty much entire game is optional so it’s up to you when you want to finish. It has a little bit of replay value because there are some gifts that you can’t obtain during the same playthrough, but as far as I can tell they just change a few lines of dialogue at the end. Despite the lack of content, I thought it was a very worthwhile experience with enjoyable narrative and beautiful art style, especially all of that world-building artwork on the walls.

Late evening. A street closed off at either end by roadworks. You need to buy a gift but only one shop is still open.
Inside, you’re greeted by a lizard-like and rather stern shopkeeper, Eugenie. She says she’s teasing, but you’re not sure if she means it. It’s under her watchful gaze, and the ever-glaring eye of a CCTV camera that tracks your every move, you begin to browse the shelves.
You quickly realise there isn’t much to browse. The shelves are well-stocked, yes, but there are only a few items to click on. Still, these items provoke your curiosity. Pleasant music plays while you browse, courtesy of a radio which you’re free to retune. There are strange posters on the wall and even complimentary coffee… though my clumsy efforts at making it elicited laughter from me and a gentle rebuke from Eugénie.

Sokodice
sokodice is one of those cube-rolling puzzlers you could fill the grand canyon with. instead of colored cubes you’re bothering regular 6-sided dice, so numbers need to be matched instead of colors, but same general idea.
the 132 levels are divided into 11 worlds, 6 regular levels open up one by one for the most part, then you can have a go at 6 bonus levels, or at that point move on to the next world with a new mechanic building on ones already encountered. icy tiles make the cube slide until it hits a wall, turbines essentially do the same, except going up against them still rotates the cube, and twirly tiles rotate the cube in place once stepped on.

You Are Weak
A game that seemingly inspired directly by the works of Cosmo D. While much more heavy handed than their games, You Are Weak still possesses strong visual metaphor and a varied experience.

CoronaWhomp!
Free game & paid dlc; proceeds go to charity. Try to not let viruses in your hole, maybe get some “Whomp”-ed by concrete pillars, although the lasers seem more helpful. More luck than skill IMO.

Pretty good game if you’re looking for something simple, no bugs, not really challenging but that’s kinda the point seems that the developer cares about his game and is looking for updates and improvements to the game
