velvet clouds
Velvet Clouds - a story-driven game with elements of psychological horror and metroidvania. Explore locations, pick up items and destroy various enemies, and immerse yourself in an unusual story, interacting with the playable characters.
Background:
One day, video game developer James decides to create a new project. Development went on without problems and errors, but one day he began to notice that the game began to work differently, not the way it used to: lags that never happened, inexplicably strange behavior of objects, problems with sound. Unravel the mystery of James’s broken project, which could be the last in his career.

Daardoa
This game is the definition of helplessness. From the start, you are thrown into an eerily empty world filled with nothing but trees and impossible architecture. No one to hold your hand, just an ominous message subtly hinting you towards your goal. The game is oddly calming yet incredibly tense at the same time, which made it difficult for me to put a pin in any feeling in particular, making the experience much more frightening. The fear of the unknown is real in this game.
From a technical standpoint, the game runs smooth as butter. There’s a creepy glow and shine on the textures, and the graphics are really crisp. The overall gameplay loop is simplistic enough to understand rather quickly, but the game turns things around and takes the bit of familiarity you gain with your surroundings and completely throws it away, rendering you almost petrified to move into the dark. The sound design is superb, with low ambient drones and rumbles filling the environment, leading to scraping, horrifying sounds as you encounter enemies.

If you enjoy Vidas Games, then this is something you’ll like. If you don’t know who this is, then you may feel different. What I enjoy is the world you are place in. This includes the atmosphere present and the story shown. I enjoyed the environment, but the story felt like “Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time”. You walked a good two minutes to reach either end of the map in order to collect a total of three “Ancients”. Each had their own housing area with a jumpscare attack present. I would be fine with this if dying wasn’t so punishing. There is no save and you have to start from the beginning if you died at any moment. Dying extending my gameplay three times what it was meant to be. It’s scary to be chased and at times the area is unsettling, but that is it. It’s an okay game, but it has you walking a lot with the threat of starting over.

EPONYMOUS
DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review
EPONYMOUS is a game developed and published by Minor Key Games
The game offers some nice graphics, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same
The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nonetheless
EPONYMOUS overall, however, is a fun game to play, yet sometimes repetitive and it does get boring and tedious if being played for a long time, but is a great little horror game to play in short bursts!

Not really sure what or even if there was a story or message, but as a visual experience I enjoyed this. Plenty of options for sound controls fov to make it a comfortable experience and really let you get lost in the game for a bit. Levels aren’t too confusing, but the dialog is. Maybe it’s because I haven’t put in the time to read the footnoted content in the credits before playing to understand the placement of quotes and such, or maybe it’s just simply meant to be confusing as part of the experience. Also Found a potato so that was the most rewarding thing I got from this game lol. I appreciated the potato. I played through it a second time to look at the things I missed which was nothing major, just a few quotes as far as I can tell. Anyways, it’s cheap, takes a few minutes give it a try if the screenshots look appealing to you.

Indecision.
Indecision was a neat psychological experience with a few jokes. If you like these games I would recommend not reading this review to keep a fresh mindset. The game is made out of small escape rooms and sometimes there is more than one way to leave. All exits seem to lead to the same linear path unless I am missing some clues. The length is maybe 20-30 minutes. However, I am not convinced that you are done with the game after the first playthrough. I won’t give any spoilers but I have found something different later. We could be dealing with one of those sneaky developers.

What can I say about Indecision other than the fact that I wasn’t too indecisive to buy it?
Maybe the fact that I should have been.
Did you watch the trailer on the store page? If so, you already know almost everything of what this game is about.
Did you watch someone else play it? If so, you’ve already experienced everything this game has to offer.
For such a short and cheap game, I must say it was enjoyable. Most puzzles have straightforward solutions but getting to figure them out (which, for a first time, is usually a surprise all its own) feels… Well, for lack of a better word, rewarding.

Nebula Within
A life philosophy ruminating, fast-paced, geometric twin stick shooter made by the human, Nick Oueijan. Allow me to maybe put it a bit differently, one man’s escape from the black hole life tends to create for a lot of us at some point and a vessel that helped him break free from his own personal one.
Despite only using geometry shapes, the game’s visuals are very well done. Sharp, colourful geometry on a black background with tiny white, swirling stars makes for some good contrast and individual shapes stand out nicely. Game menus and selection are awesomely done, allowing you to pilot your ship and shoot to select individual options which are represented by different drawings. Even looking through your collected mantras is done by turning the pages with your ship.

Introduction
Fair warning at the start, the developer has been very kind to reach out to me as a Curator to leave a review for this game and despite me being extremely thankful that they did, this review is and will stay my personal honest opinion of the game. P.S. Considering the game this review might be a bit more of a ‘deepdive’ than normal.
Nebula Within is an Asteroids style game with a focus on zenning out and just enjoying the game and yourself with an overarching theme of motivation and relaxation.

Free Solo: One Life
It’s honestly impressive how such a (forgive this) boring concept can be so enamoring, i spent 35 minutes on a single level and it did NOT feel that long. Worth it, but wish it was possible to change the display colors as the very plain colors get somewhat painful after a while. Even just a slider would be nice but god that orange gets painful after around 15 minutes.
