Update: I have published a guide with translations and solutions to the compass. It is currently awaiting approval. Hope this helps anyone who was stuck!


This game is not for everybody. Avoid if you’re not a fan of puzzles, because there are a ton. Some of which are exceptionally esoteric and obscure. You may end up having to work your noodle a bit harder than normal(giggity) or consulting a walkthrough/video.

There were so many things about this game that tugged at my heartstrings for so many reasons. The biggest one being that it gave me serious Silent Hill vibes.

It is a great game, the atmosphere is amazing for a horror game and the graphics are nice. I would recommend playing the first game before this one for a better understand of the deep and interesting story. But if you just want to play without much of a care for story, just look up a Youtube video on the story for game 1 and play this one. This game is for any skill level gamer, you could be a casual gamer like me and enjoy it or you could be elite gamer and still enjoy it on a higher difficulty. I’m kinda dragging on but I genuinely love this game and I feel it should be shared with others. So if you play it alone or with some buds, you’ll have a good time, quite a few scares and moments where you go “how tf did I miss that!” Btw this is a puzzle game with a nice combat system. So when you finish reading the review I hope I convinced you to get it. I rate it 20/10.

Eyes of the Night

Eyes of the Night

Eyes of the night is a very fun game yet is still very simple to learn and play. After downloading the game I very quickly found myself enthralled in the games ominous and captivating environment and couldn’t help but play “just one more game” trying to evade the wolves and beat my score from the previous round. The game seems to be well made and I can’t wait to see what the future updates will bring to the experience. Overall, the game is very fun and if you have five dollars laying around I highly recommend you give this game a shot.

Atmospheric and Entertaining

I haven’t spent too much time playing it yet, but Eyes of the Night is a very entertaining game. The gameplay is simple, yet good, and the world design and music creates an atmospheric experience. I think that it’s worth noting that the music reminded me a lot of that of the Amnesia series, which I adore. Overall, I recommend checking this out! It’s fun, inexpensive and a good way to support indie developers making unique games.

Manipulate: Sacrifice

Manipulate: Sacrifice

Meh…

This indie-horror game is very bland. The game feels empty, the walking pace is horribly slow which takes this game longer to beat, the sub title text is incredibly small and goes a quickly making it hard to understand what the hell is going on at times.

Also the cut scenes are hilariously bad and often don’t make sense.

It’s a very easy, straight forward walking simulator and you can beat in about 1 hour if the walking speed wasn’t so painfully slow.

Next..

Creepy Tale

Creepy Tale

Creepy tale

Creepy tale is an interesting puzzle platformer with a rich story. The game delivers a great 2D platformer experience with befitting music and sound effects.

The story starts off with two brothers who decided to go collect mushrooms from an unknown part of the forest. What seemed to be a nice brotherly moment of peace and comfort was soon to be proven wrong.

Even if this puzzle-platformer was $10, I would have no problems recommending it. It kinda reminds me of Limbo just because you tend to die a lot - it looks like a game for kids, but the deaths can be a little disgusting, like impaling yourself on the spikes or getting your face chewed out. Overall the game is just very enjoyable, nice animation, and the majority of the puzzles were creative and fun to do. I managed to finish it slightly under 3 hours, with a few missing achivements, so about 3 hours of content. There is some platforming involved, nothing too difficult though, especially compared to Limbo. Some moments in the game were funny, and the ending was very satisfying as well. You can use the controller to play it, but the buttons are preset (I used xbox-one).

Last Message

Last Message

First off, I loved the story, although it was pretty basic zombie stuff (with some added in details but nothing that’s new to the genre). I did enjoy the small interactions you could do on the computer (reading email, looking through files, etc), most of the gameplay is through game chat, which is okay with me (although, again, nothing new). I did like that the game does branch out from the text based play and allows you to move around. I was a bit disappointed that nothing REALLY happens while walking around, I was half hoping to come across a stray zombie or two but nothing happens beyond one part but its forewarned. I did see one typo in an email (unconcious instead of unconscious), but I didn’t really spot anything else. One of the only issues I had with the game is that the email font is really really hard to see (not the font FOR the messages but the font for the emails themselves) even using the brightest settings, I had a hard time seeing what was there (at first, I thought I only had the one email since you get a notification or whatever alerting you to an email). The game is extremely short too, even with reading all there is in-game as well as being overly cautious, it’s still about an hour.

Last Message is a worthwhile play for the free price tag and short time investment. It focuses on its storytelling through fairly realistic text chats, although I found it jarring how the scripted chats pop up one by one rather than interleaving like real chats do. It’s a narrative that parallels real life well, and I think it’s no coincidence that this game is set in the year 2020.

Technically, the game has basic and fairly crude visuals, though the 3D environment isn’t the driving force behind the story. I had a few graphical glitches with lights outside, but this was most likely due to integrated graphics and the rest of the game was fine including the frame rate. I did notice that the graphics settings seemed to be inverted, so the fanciest graphics ran the smoothest on my integrated graphics. I hope the dev can fix this.

Restless Kids

Restless Kids

Restless Kids is a multiplayer thriller game. It begins with 5 children trying to undermine the demarch job as the neighborhood elections are prepared. They do everything in their power to reduce the peace level of the neighborhood and not to be selected as the reeve of the neighborhood. This will not be easy for a retired police reeve.

Gameplay

You can choose the reeve at the beginning or you can use it randomly. The children have to do the random missions on the map. Each task reduces the peace of the neighborhood according to its level. The reeve increases the peace by reactivating these tasks. If the peace level drops to zero within 15 minutes, children win the game.

Play as the children

Certain tasks are assigned to children. Cutting electricity, blowing water pipes, pressing bells, etc. If children can reduce peace to zero within 15 minutes, they will be the winner. This encounter should not forget to escape from the headman. Don’t forget to save your imprisoned friends too!

Play as the reever

The chief task of the reever is to keep the peace of the neighborhood alive. It can reactivate the systems that children have broken in the neighborhood and restore peace control or gain time by catching them and imprisoning them. If he can keep up peacefully within 15 minutes, the reever will win.

Mission system

The fact that the main event we aim in our game is fluency has made the task system a little difficult. The random assignment of the tasks leads you to find the tasks. Only the icon of the assigned task appears in the upper left and gives you a clue. Good luck!

Absinth

Absinth

This game is a great mix of story, jump scares, tense atmosphere and exploration. This game also has some very hard puzzles that show up very soon, so be ready for some critical thinking. So far this has been the first horror game in awhile that has kept me tense through more than a chapter in a long time. The music, atmosphere and story kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through what is available in this EA release. I heavily recommend it to anyone that is a huge fan of more psychological horror with a dash of mind bending puzzles (Think Silent Hill-like).

Real player with 8.0 hrs in game

I enjoyed playing this scary early access indie game. Dark scenes with scary music create an environment of a real psychological horror game. Although it is in early access and indie game, it has very high-quality graphics.

The game storyline is increasingly interesting and immersive which creates suspense to know more of it by playing next stage acts. Challenging puzzle and riddles need to be solved cleverly using an interactive and dynamic environment of the stage scenario. Especially in spare time, one can play this game for fun and time pass. The game theme design is also consistent and aesthetically nice-looking throughout. A bit heavy on resources due to high-quality graphics but can manage to run on medium to low settings.
