Ticket

Ticket

Don’t let the initial presentation fool you - this is an incredibly creative 2D platformer with unique visuals and an outstanding soundtrack. My first playthrough, I constantly found myself saying “the next level couldn’t get any weirder than this” only for the game to do just that.

The only caveat is that some levels are a bit obtuse and frustrating to figure out without a guide - but that’s something you can find easily enough.

Ticket is the product that challenges your preconceived notions of what games are about. It is certain that the so-called seriously taken game reviewers would not be able to give acclaim to this game, as it does not follow the conventional rules of high quality game design. This tells about the sad state of gaming industry rather than about Ticket though. If you are the person who thinks that good games follow strict rulesets of certain design-economic and mathematically measured criteria and are usually some sports titles followed by a running year number or the latest installment of a well-established series, then Ticket might not be for you.

Bad Dream: Stories is a collection of older games in the Bad Dream series, in a new, remastered form.

Pros

1. Runs in 60FPS with option for 30FPS.

2. UI looks better and is less cluttered.

3. Graphics are cleaner and sharper.

4. Atmosphere is dense and claustrophobic.

5. Soundtrack is A++.

6. Achievements. Still as bone hard to unlock as they were in BD: Coma.

All in all a really nice remaster, and I can easily recommend this to anyone who likes a point and click game with a very twisted atmosphere.

Great game. That is literally all I have to say.

All the dialogue is a drag and wastes game time with stupid story telling. They really should eliminate this tedious dialogue. Other than that A-OK.

Quiet Valley 2

Quiet Valley 2

I love this game. great visuals and style that if you can get a grip on does a great job getting the spooks. its a short and sweet game, ideas put forward are chilling and oppressive, basic style is still detailed in its implementation and surprisingly thought out. there are little additions that only show up for a few seconds and it keeps you on your toes and impress with there inclusion. this feels like a flash game made by a AAA experienced indy developer. its alot like silent hill in its progression where there are secrets, the progress is in exploration and it is willing to be appropriately aggressive when its required.

‘I think this is Dope! Very good. I like it a lot. Very very good.’

When he gets jump scared, you know it’s jumpy!

But it’s much more than that. Caught the first play thru on youtube, and couldn’t stop watching!

Unique art style. Haunting story. Unforgettable ending.

Ok, now it’s my turn…..Wish me luck, I’m a bit nervous lol.

Although disappointing for it to turn out as a Fnaf “clone”, this game is still very good and has many great tricks and moments up it’s sleeve to elevate itself above most others and leave it’s own unique mark. The art style and quality of the in-between night sections are enough to distinguish it and make me wish there was more of them rather than the fnaf-styled gameplay. I’ll be looking forward to whatever this developer might make next.

Back Then

Back Then

Back Then is a yet unseen take in the videogame industry about an elderly poet diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, dealing not only with how our elders and their families change and learn to adapt to this newfound unavoidable and inevitable loss of memory and identity, but also show players that there is more to these situations than simple forgetfulness as we age.

Thomas Eilian is an elderly poet and writer diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Bound to only move around in a wheelchair, he finds himself alone for what seems like years roaming an empty house. “The clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”

  • In-depth narrative and storytelling experience.

  • Creative gameplay mechanics related to Alzheimer’s and forgetfulness, where the character starts to remember (and forget) his past and present.

  • Inspired by real events and stories of people with Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative diseases, told by family members and loved ones.

  • Focus on interactivity, grab, interact with everything and learn as much as possible.

  • Scientific breakdown via collectibles about Alzheimer’s.

This is a story about Time, Death, and Soul. It is a story about the mind, from the mind. It is a story about ignorance and forgetfulness.

Through this story we hope to make as many people as we can uncomfortable, but aware to the reality of millions.

Deep Abyss

Deep Abyss

Deep Abyss is composed of independent chapters, connected as one structure.

  • It has a unique Control that seems unfamiliar yet simple to get used to.

  • Explore the deep sea and space yourself as a diver. Swim through strange yet beautiful backgrounds and music. It will give you a new gaming experience that you have not felt in other games.

  • The story progresses in the form of poetry rather than a linear composition. It is a game resembling a small painting where you can achieve poetic and artistic sensibility.

FATAL ERROR - RTS

FATAL ERROR - RTS

We see few rts games being created recently, just new versions of the old ones. Fatal Error came as an excellent surprise for the genre with a unique model and amazing themed. Something I missed was the opposing player’s score to be able to position himself and know what the situation is.

Anyway congratulations on the excellent work!

The game is fun and reminds me of old times rts game, specially the OG C&C game. The game has many levels to play and many units to make after each lv. Its even has the lv where you start without any base but only few defensive n offensive units. The only think thats need improvement i can see is the unit movements. Its a bit sketchy but not that bad.

A Chamber of Stars

A Chamber of Stars

Each person has a universe inside of them.

A personal universe with characters influenced by the observable reality around them. Your friends, the fans, the local shop clerk, each person you pass without giving pause is another universe. You make up a story about them, they form a story about you. The universes expand.

I always wonder how similar our universes can be. You and I. Will I ever be able to pierce through and present myself, my real self, or will the information be lost in translation? The thing rattling around in our heads can’t be all that different. We both still get choked up over the same melodies, it’s only human to do so, right?

Maybe, if you would like it, I could play something for you. Lord knows your songs are still rattling around in my head.

The singularly named Starr, an enigmatic performer, guitarist and songwriter, has somehow survived the constant shifting tide of the musical landscape. Decade after decade, this artist has remained relevant in culture’s eye. After multiple personas, genre manipulations and controversies, the public is still buzzing. “What will Starr do next?” The rumors say their upcoming album will be the fated magnum opus…

A Chamber of Stars is the sequel to 2018’s The Endless Empty. Through six unique worlds the life of the rock n’ roll hero, Starr, will be pieced together. Exploration, choices and performances will change the course of a life and will alter the songs that are produced. A Chamber of Stars will feature a mix of classic adventure games, puzzle solving and unique rhythm game performances all within a fully realized surrealist universe.

Nothing heavenly or divine; just filthy mortal music here.
