Operation Deep Magic: Cryptanalysis
Operation Deep Magic is a detail-oriented, decryption simulator for learning how to break codes. Very good trainer. It’s defintely much easier to follow along the concise steps in this simulator than to study articles and textbooks.
I like:
-
real code breaking experience and practices
-
automatic math explanations for my analytical work
-
puzzles that are super hard and also very easy
-
all puzzles are real-life communication, math, and computer problems
-
real, NSA-approved encryption that is adopted internationally

Let me start off by saying that this is probably one of the most deeply technical games on Steam. The cryptanalysis techniques utilized in this are actual, real-life techniques used in academic cryptography and spy alike.
How do I know this? I’m a cryptographer. :)
By playing this game and learning how these techniques work, you will gain an understanding of how these attacks are performed. If you’re not familiar with the basics of cryptography, this game is likely too difficult for you, but there’s no better time to start than right now,

Simply Parkour
Simply Parkour is as simple as it gets. You can jump, run, and hold onto zip lines.
This game has some bugs. I can’t load saves at the moment. It gets stuck loading. Luckily, the game is short and you’ll be back to where you were quickly.
If you enjoy simple games, then this game is for you.

Simply Parkour is being developed by one developer, Matt Sowards. So far, the game looks good, with a pretty landscape, buildings, funny billboards. The premise is that you shouldn’t fall (obviously), and you need to traverse through puzzles to beat the game. It sounds like a lot of fun, and I know with some work, Simply Parkour can be a cool game to play, specially for the ones who enjoy parkour games such as Mirror’s Edge and want to see more of that.

Oatmeal
I’ve never felt so deeply invested and emotional about a game about oatmeal. This game made me feel triumph and pain, made me hate space and ice, and I’ve also removed all the oatmeal from my house as a result due to the trauma.

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.

Ancient Go
Early Access Day 1 review:
Edit: Thumbs up because it looks promising. (I’d hold off getting it until counting method issues are resolved, hopefully.)
Project seems promising. It includes basic tutorials for rules and scoring, a VS. AI mode and an Online multiplayer mode.
The AI is not particularly strong on any setting (Hard is when it starts playing slightly better moves, maximum tends to take a bit more time to play moves, but not a LOT of time.) So (at least at this stage) the AI is really meant for beginners. It would be nice to get a stronger one later down the line, but I’d rather see good multiplayer added than the focus be on AI.

“Ancient Go” aims to be an app for total beginners to Go, which is great. Currently, outside of “Ancient Go,” the only other app out there on Steam is “Crazy Stone Deep Learning -The First Edition-,” which is $79.99. However, “Crazy Stone” is arguably meant for committed Go players, who are much stronger at the game. So, “Ancient Go” is a cheaper alternative for “Crazy Stone” that allows the Steam community to start playing Go at a cheaper price. That said, “Ancient Go” has its strengths and weaknesses.

Orbatron
This is a very polished game. Relaxing game play as well. I found zero bugs thus far, and it looks like they released this game at just the right time, without having to keep patching it up, like most VR Titles do. It may be a bit overpriced at $15, but I got it on sale for less than $10, and that is worth it in my opinion if you like relaxing type games like this one. There is plenty of good content as well.

Raven’s Point
Raven’s Point is a town. Raven’s Point is also a game. Solve puzzles and explore a seemingly never-ending maze of unnerving hallways and rooms inside a terrifying house of secrets. You’re not only trapped within the town of Raven’s Point, you’re also trapped within the game.
DEEP EXPLORATION
Dive down into the rabbit hole of Sara’s mind-bending, ever-changing home. Rooms will appear and disappear and new paths will unearth themselves as you explore deeper and deeper into the darkest recesses of the house. With dozens of alternate paths to take and hundreds of secrets waiting to be found, the world of Raven’s Point is shrouded in both mystery and intrigue.
ABSTRACT PUZZLE-SOLVING
In Sara’s attempt to escape her home, the house itself is a puzzle waiting to be solved. New branches can be unlocked and discovered, hidden areas can be unearthed, and secrets can be found through unconventional puzzle mechanics that test both your creativity and abstract puzzle solving skills.
CONFRONT YOUR INNER DEMONS
During her journey, Sara must learn to confront and overcome the demons hunting after her. Taking the form of her own personal traumas, her own mind is often the greatest enemy. Unsure who to trust, she must find a way to avoid different terrifying threats whilst piecing together the fragments of her mind to feel whole again. She must decide whether the greatest enemy is herself, or the person controlling her.
LEARN NEW LOGIC
Raven’s Point is a game that constantly changes around you. Each room is unique and offers multiple secrets and methods of exploration. Objects that weren’t there before may suddenly appear, rooms that were there before are suddenly different, things that wouldn’t normally be possible are suddenly viable. Raven’s Point is a game meant to be played like it’s a game. It aims to create a whole new world of logic that leaves you questioning what is real and which secrets were meant to be discovered. A feeling of accomplishment yet emptiness. A feeling you didn’t want to experience. Become immersed in the town of Raven’s Point but don’t forget everything is trapped within the window. Don’t be afraid to break the rules.

I really enjoyed the game. It doesn’t have jump scares yet, it builds tension with the environment. Def got me jumping a few times. If you’re interested in seeing what this game is about, check out my video!

This game is like pressing your nose inside of an opossum’s crack. It’s boring beyond belief and has absolutely no merit.
A literally empty experience which leaves you wondering why the dev even bothered.

I like to jump, jumping is fun, jumping is my passion. Hope one day I’ll be able to jump off the map to break the love for jumping.

Complete and utter junk, I let out farts that are more entertaining than this game. Its got a rip off loop part way through, that many can not complete to find when you do complete it you get brought right back to the start of the level. Buy at your own risk. My biggest regret is spending the 3 hours on this that I have. Now I will go fart in my hand and throw it at someone.
