LIBERATED
This review contains major spoilers. Be warned and proceed at your discretion.
LIBERATED is one of the games that you’re not meant to have fun with. It tells a dark story about dystopian future, where the government controls every aspect of human lives. Don’t purchase or gain enough via wire? Don’t post enough photos on social media? You’re under suspicion. Maybe you post an online comment doubting the current government? You’re asking to be arrested, discredited, pretty much erased.
There’s a group of people in that world. They call themselves The Liberated. Throughout the game they hunt for the proof that the government is corrupt, and ultimately, that it was behind the big terrorist attack on the school, which they needed to justify building this strict regime, where privacy is a crime.

A digital interactive comic book set in a noir cyberpunk world of complete government control, eerily reminiscent and very close to the course our own blue ball of yarn is spinning into at the moment.
What excites about Liberated is the way it’s presented. Through a slick, black and white comic book, complete with textured panels, sounds of flipped pages and reflections. You even have the ability to tilt the view around the panels a bit. It’s a complete experience of reading a comic book. I can almost smell the paper. The art is wonderful (brings to mind Frank Miller’s Sin City, even a hint of Torpedo and some other noir comics) and the way the panels are framed really glues your eyes to a single panel, letting you linger on it as long as you want.

The Adventures of Bluke Bifton
The Adventures of Bluke Bifton is a bizarre point-n-click adventure game set in a world of complete absurdity. Journey across a once-peaceful land, allying (or making enemies) with a cast of strange, fully-voiced characters. Boldly forge your own path with a focus on player choice, all while trying to solve the mystery behind the chaos invading your home.
Explore the Isle of Flungo in a side-scrolling, point-n-click perspective
The Isle of Flungo is open to explore, whether it be on foot, or by (extremely run-down) vehicle. Either way, you’ll take control of Bluke in a side-scrolling, point-n-click perspective, able to click on any object or character of interest to engage with it.
Make unpredictable choices and be met with equally-unexpected consequences
Want to take on the role of a pacifist? Achieve your goals through violence? Maybe you just want to keep everyone alive… with a heavy emphasis on player choice, it’s up to you to decide how to navigate Bluke’s chaotic journey.
Engage in genre-shifting minigames and hone your skills
Saving the Isle isn’t all work! Genre-shifting minigames are sprinkled throughout Bluke’s journey to spice things up. Try for a high-score in the Arcade, and compete with your friends on the leaderboards.

MDK 2
Three years after the release of the original MDK by Shiny Entertainment, the IP moved to developer Bioware, who threw out the run and gun gameplay of the first title in favour of a deeper action adventure approach.
The sequel changes the game mechanics in another major way by offering players the ability to hop between the three main characters of the series (Kurt Hectic, Max [formerly Bones], and Dr. Hawkins). The game is broken up into a series of stages that feature each main character doing something different. These are not optional stages either. Instead, the player controls each main character for a chunk of the level.

This was my first computer game I’ve ever played and it has aged extremely well. Don’t worry about not playing the first one, you can pick this game up and play it without any problem as the first game was MUCH more lax on the story side of things. This game is the definition of what it means to be a classic. As is often the case with Bioware games, the writing is fantastic with comedy being seamlessly interweaved with the high-paced action game that it is. The level designs do not lack for anything. They really make you think since every room is like its own puzzle. I remember when I was young, around 9 or 10, I would be stuck on some rooms for days before my tiny brain put together what I needed to do. This was an era before I was even aware I could google game walkthroughs, but I loved figuring everything out. The boss fights are epic, with each boss seeming like a more complex Legend of Zelda boss fight. Finally, what REALLY sets this game apart for me is the sheer amount of secrets in the game. This game is from a time when designers could throw in a secret room you accessed by stumbling across an invisible bridge over a never-ending pit or running towards a section of wall that seems slightly off-color from the rest. They reward you with items, health, or perhaps a joke room with a poorly photoshopped picture of the developers' faces over some cartoon characters. Either way, these secret rooms do not detract anything from the experience, and they’re a real treat to find. This is a game that does not hold your hand and try to steer you to progress. No, this game sits and waits for you to progress, expecting you to know what to do or to take as much time as you need to figure it out.

System Under Surveillance
PLEASE NOTE: the game is still in development.
System Under Surveillance (SUS) is an upcoming indie stealth game with adventure and puzzle elements, reminiscent of some of the classics of the 80s and 90s. The graphic style is retro with a modern twist, with gameplay taking place in an old-school isometric world, while the story unfolds as an interactive comic book with all illustrations hand-drawn in pixel art!
THE STORY SO FAR:
His only memory is being in a car chase involving his mother, after which, Adam finds himself alone in the middle of a dystopian city, not knowing how he got there. He soon discovers that a mysterious governmental organization is after him, but he has no idea why.
During his struggle to evade the murky forces hunting him down, Adam meets an eccentric cleaning robot. Despite being called TURBO, Adam’s new robot friend is clumsy and slow, albeit with a big (digital) heart. TURBO teams up with Adam in his mission to stay alive and uncover the dark truth surrounding the accident.
IT’S A COMIC BOOK, TOO!:
Get drawn into the game through its carefully illustrated pixel-art comic book. Your progress helps tell the story. Recover the missing pages to piece together the unsettling truth behind the accident and why you’re being followed wherever you go by deadly robots. And the story has only just begun.
STEALTH OR DIE:
In the world of SUS, you have no power over your enemies. You’re completely vulnerable! Without any combat capability, your only chance of surviving is through stealth.
Scan your surroundings and work out how to use them to your advantage. Make the most of each character’s unique abilities to trick your enemies, sneak past them and stay undercover.
SWITCH BETWEEN TWO UNIQUE CHARACTERS, AT ANY TIME!:
TURBO,is a rickety old cleaning robot, but it has some very handy skills! It can:
-
hover above holes to propel itself to new areas;
-
transform into a metallic ball and roll up pipes and down narrow alleys;
-
generate a powerful electric shock by spinning in place, temporarily disabling nearby electronics;
Adam, is a regular boy who is also uncommonly resourceful. He can:
-
remotely take control of enemies, open doors and disable security systems;
-
create diversions with everyday objects;
-
make use of clever gadgets to solve the puzzles in minigames;
-
and more…
NO ORDINARY HEALTH SYSTEM:
SUS replaces the old-school health bar with a threat level. It serves to immerse you even further into the story, bringing you closer to Adam, the ordinary boy whose life depends on outsmarting his enemies. Stay undetected to keep the threat level low, or get detected to make enemies follow you, only to trick them into letting you into restricted areas. The threat level goes back down when you hide. But you can’t stay hidden forever!

Great addictive platformer game! Just like the old school platformers that we used to play. The thing I liked most is that you can control both characters simultaneously in order to find and push the switch, jump higher platforms or open the secret door. Good stress relief game.

Witchfall
Welcome to the world of Witchfall, a land filled with wizards, witches and just about every magical creature you can think of. Legend has it that there is an all powerful object known as the Hawk’s Legacy. To protect this legacy from falling into the wrong hands, it must be kept moving, and thousands of delivery mages traverse the land each day with the assumption they may be carrying said object.
Meanwhile in Ludwick Town, five hopeful little wizards and witches in training are hoping to take on this task one day, and are about to start their final exams. Under the wing of the Great Master Divarnas, they’re sure to have quite the adventure..
- Koemi -
Koemi’s an energetic kitten who dreams of becoming the world’s most powerful sorceress! She’s a bit overconfident and quick tempered, but she has no tolerance for evil and is always willing to help anyone in trouble.
- Rez and Orbessa -
Rez and Orbessa are two inseparable best friends who work wonderfully as a team. Rez can come across as air headed and not always aware of dangers around him… but he’s brave and always ready to protect his friends. Orbessa, however, tends to worry a little too much - but everyone knows that comes from her loving little heart.
- Sloberg -
Sloberg is surprisingly a speedy turtle who wants to pass his exam first-try on principle, and to prove to everyone he’s not a boy to make fun of… Sloberg can come across as sassy and sarcastic, never really seeing the bright side of things. However, deep down he knows who his friends are… and they might even get a smile out of him one day!
- Maya -
Maya is a shy and timid raccoon who works very hard to show people she can be helpful, and hopes to do something everyone will remember! She is always very polite… even to her enemies… and she absolutely loves Strawbs.
- Envel -
Envel.. well, just. Envel. A lovable little sheep who loves to partake in her hobby… flying? She’s a very happy girl as she mostly has her head in the clouds, but very rarely, she’ll come out factual outbursts that can silence a whole village..
Witchfall is filled with many collectibles and other wonderful things to find, many secrets to discover, and a whole bunch of mini games to enjoy! There are also an abundance of Side Quests to take! Those who seek a completionist run can expect a whole bunch to do!
If you’re a fan of trading cards and such… Witchfall is the game for you! Collect over 100 different cards spread around the world, trade them with NPCs to get even better cards, and why not see if you can collect them all? And watch out… some of these cards might just add special bonuses/abilities, and they don’t always carry just benefits with them…
Biscuitts 3
Biscuitts 3 is very cool game with the vibe of the 60s it’s like playing a cartoon literally! The controls are very smooth and the art style is definitely the best part. Can’t say anything bad about what I have played, definitely super fun to play!

While I initially had a not so great experience with this game, I MUST tell you on my second try of this game, I had a MUCH BETTER game experience!
I cannot over emphasize to you to START ON THE EASY DIFFICULTY ..Don’t start off on the default normal unless you want to risk getting frustrated and over-whelmed like I did my first try!
..If you care kicking butt on “Easy”.. then by all means, up your game and difficulty! =)

Anyhow, as I could tell initially even with my first review, this developer has poured a LOT of effort and time into this game and it is a STEAL at only $1.99 USD!
