Pecaminosa - A Pixel Noir Game
Do you get value out of the price you pay? Yes and catching it in during a sale is a no brainer to add to your collection. There aren’t many noire themed games after all.
The presentation and the vision for this game is up there. As a backer for this game, I feel satisfied with what the team delivered. You can feel the effort and passion that this small indie team poured into this project.
- Visuals are really good, except for the character portraits present in the dialogue boxes as those could have been touched on a little bit more.

After following this game’s progress for quite a while and now being able to play it and finish it already
TWICE I can happily say that I had a very fun experience and it was worth the wait
Pecaminosa gives you what they told you were going to have: rich story, Immersive ambient, amazing soundtrack, fun boss battles and some dried humour… which was very welcome. Being able to play as an old detective trying to fix his past mistakes while living in a hopeless city where drugs, sex, violence happens from day to night. Managing to find a little bit of hope just for it to be taken away from you… and still moving on was quite interesting. This game truly shows

Disjunction
I’m thoroughly enjoying my experience with Disjunction. You play as three separate characters whose storylines intertwine and run parallel to one another. Despite being advertised as a stealth-RPG, the game gives you a plethora of options to customize your gameplay. You can play non-lethally with melee, lethally with different guns, or use a combination of both. Your choice in lethality affects the dialogue, characters, and endings. The game can also be quite challenging depending on your playstyle.

Hmm… I don’t know if recommended is really what I should place this game under.
But it’s not bad and it’s cheap !
This game is quite weird because the story is very mature, It can also be quite bloody if you go full rampage…
The music is awesome and could be described as some kind of dark ambient, the pixel art graphics are fantastic though repetitive.
But the gameplay is childish… The game consist of small levels divided in two floors each time with a save point located on each floor which you can use at any point but you can use it only once… The game would be perfect for a kid to learn how to handle stealth games, it is a very good introduction to the stealth genre.

La Mora is a story driven adventure puzzle RPG.

The Sinking City
NOTE: Despite my recommendation, don’t buy the Steam version. The publisher is screwing the developer (google “Frogwares lawsuit” for more information) and I’d have bought a version that supports the devs directly.
I saw a lot of reviews saying it’s glitchy. It’s really not. Skyrim is a thousand times worse, and so is FO4. Furthermore, Frogwares withheld the final version of the game (AFAIK) until the publisher paid them, so I can only imagine the final version that we’ll get after the courts sort everything out is way better. Worst glitches I ever came across were some weird clothing physics and the clothing of the main character being inconsistent between cinematics and the game. That’s it. If you’re worried about glitches the game is fine. There are reused assets (the most egregious is the diving cinematic) but they have absolutely no impact on playability or the game itself. It’s just a bunch of whining GamerBros.

It’s an okay game if you get it on sale (below 10 dollars), otherwise it’s not worth it.
The open world is just for the namesake, most of the areas (indoors & outdoors) are just copies of the same 3-4 areas.
The combat is below average almost all the time.
The one thing going for the game is the detective part. I really enjoyed that.
Also there is absolutely no mention of the publisher “Nacon” in this version. Just putting this out there for all the people worried about pirated copy.
One more thing, just buy the basic game and avoid the “Necronomicon Edition”. This bundle just provide two side quests, one costume and allows you to use Pistol from the beginning. The side quests are just there to prolong the game and it’s not good at all.

Detective Gman
mega cool game.
lots to do, tons to explore, banging soundtrack.
perfect 10/10

A breath of fresh air in the current gaming climate! Story and character based game kind of like Disco Elysium, albeit shorter. Big game world, a lot of interaction and different ways to solve the crimes. Some tips I would give to new players:
spec your character right away, you have like 8 points and you have to manually enter each one. A bit unintuitive but you can get the hang of it. Be sure to add your 2 new points after every murder solved. humor and charm go a long way when talking to NPCs.

Fears of Glasses o-o
To be honest, I didn’t understand anything about the game at all. I’m not used to the glasses in the middle of the screen. It feels weird and out of place. Also, the game has obvious problems with the interface. In general, it doesn’t feel like a completed product. Rather, like something hastily whipped up.

Fears of Glasses is a pretty good horror platformer with an atmosphere of gloom and creep.

Tale of Ninja: Fall of the Miyoshi
I like that there is a ninja game and thank you for that whoever, I think the game would be a great one to this list:
1- cursor lock(this one is a must)
2- unique animations that make feel like a ninja. I don’t want to be rude, but right now a big proportion of the animations look like mobile to me.
3-controls:
1- full controller support.
2- free controls adjustments for keyboard&mouse and controller
some people are OK with the default controls and some are not I think this would satisfy all kinds of people

I was originally looking for a game , Tenchu and this came up. It was alright - entertaining and will finish all maps. Hoping for fighting style improvements and more maps in the future.

Our story begins with a very good looking pigeon with an amazing name, who’s dream is to act in the great theater that they live in. With the help of a lovely human, a fluffy pigeon and a questionably french bird, they create the perfect human disguise: a trench coat. Heigh-ho, hey-ho! Alas, suddenly, the world ends! Zounds! Bazinga! Yeet! All hope is lost! But, in the nick of time, a figure approaches this spectacular pigeon with an offer. Would you like to try again?
Three Pigeons in a Trench Coat is a fast paced, action, adventure game, where you try to find out what ends the world and stop it before the world ends again five minutes later. And if you fail? Just try again!
