Dirty Land
Dirty Land is a game about real estate, crime, and desperation, inspired by classic sales movies of the 80s and 90s.
Step into the shoes of Frank Marsh, a newly hired salesman for Pure Sky Properties, a real estate office where coffee is for closers and the status quo is hawking swamp land to unsuspecting buyers for a tidy profit. Will you cast aside your ethics for a quick buck, or will you take the high road and find a way to scrape by honestly?
Something New Every Day
Welcome to your new job. At the start of every day, you begin out front of an unassuming, drab strip mall, where Pure Sky Properties is tucked away. Every day brings new characters to meet, new events to experience, and new stories to be told. What will it be tomorrow?
Choose a Lead, Go on a Sit, and Close ‘em!
These are the new leads. You’ll probably close one of your leads today, but can you close two leads a day? You’re gonna need some caffeine for that. But you know what salesmen say about coffee… you better prove your worth if you want that cup of joe!
Every day you’ll have chances to make a sale. Learn what they like, study their habits, memorize what you can about them, and get them to sign on the line which is dotted!
The Birth of a Salesman
You are Frank Marsh. You’ve made a mistake that has ruined your family. You can’t change your past, but you can change your future!
Will you take the high road and stick to your principles, or take the low road and chase the easy money? Whichever path you take, you’ll discover multiple endings based on the choices you’ve made and whether you succeed or fail in those choices.
On top of those choices, you’ll need to balance your family life with your work life. Will you be a model father and go home and play with your kids? Or will you go out on another sit and close that elusive buyer? Go too far down one path and there will be consequences… your choice will change Frank’s story - at work and at home.
Make Friends First, Sales Second
An office is a place where dreams come true. A place to meet lively new people. A sociopathic manager. An elusive owner. An opportunistic coworker out to steal your money. A flamboyant salesman with no concept of failure. A seductive hairdresser. An intrepid drycleaner. A neglected wife. A pair of dumb mob thugs. A ripped-off customer. A brutal detective. A homeless derelict with clues to a mystery. A rival firm across the street. And many more…
Always Be Closing
The money is out there. All you gotta do is reach out and grab it! How many leads can you pitch and sell? Can you bag the top leads? Will you take advantage of easy prey, or tackle deals with honor?
Play the Sleuth
Do I have your attention? Good. Because it’s not just sales numbers that you need to keep your eye on. You need to keep your wits about you, because in an office full of backstabbers, anything can and will happen. Including the surreal!
Clearly you’ve been framed. But by who?
Solve Murder Mysteries
In a desperate world you’ll meet desperate people. Dangerous people. People who will do anything to make rent. To not get fired. To make that promotion. To secure those juicy leads. From unsavory characters to hilarious charmers, they all have secret motives to uncover… you’ll need to gather clues and piece together the truth to gain the upper hand in this double-crossing world!
Everyone is a suspect! Especially you!
And this murder won’t be the only one…

NMNE
Atmospheric horror in psychedelic entourage. The game bribes with a breathtaking gameplay with a good study with a small required disk space for installation.
In something even crazy because of its features. The chief hero will be fighting with monsters in his own dream and only to wake up.
There are also Easter eggs and references to other games.
In general, a fit game, but it is suitable for those who love something psychedelic.

Simple and therefore great horror. The author surprises us with a whole story, which, is revealed in a small apartment. A plus for me is also the presence of in-game achievements.

Legend of the Sword
The chronicles of Anar have long told the legend of a mystical sword, and its accompanying shield whose magical aura protected the inhabitants of Anar for many centuries. The sword and shield were supposedly guarded by the ancient Corsarians, but their existence, and possible whereabouts are now purely part of folklore.
The evil wizard Suzar has assembled a fighting force of mutated humanoids and plunged the kingdom into a state of fear. An entire army of brave warriors has already perished at the hands of the wicked wizard, and only with the combined power of the legendary sword and shield is it possible to defeat the dark forces that are suffocating the land.
Having been summoned before King Darius and the High Council of Anar, you and five other loyal men volunteer to find the enchanted sword and shield, and destroy Suzar before he is able to amass an army large enough to enslave Anar, and the rest of the world…
…and so you come to team up with motley band of hardened adventurers on your quest to seek out the sword and shield, as the chronicles have foretold.

Cursed Town
I am literally disappointed in the game delivery. Apart from its slow gameplay I don’t really feel the horror element and slow movement to continue further. However, as this game is still in early access. I hope the devs in developing this implement a running function to make the game faster and fix the cutting out background music. This won’t loop back btw and ruins the immersion making the whole game quiet. There are also some typo error i discovered in the first 10 minutes in house with first survivor NPC there that wish to bring something valuable to him. This error is in corner which the main character misspelled “cofee” instead of “coffee”. I also would like to bring up the save feature as in the game where you have to open up the inventory and save directly. I hope you change this by making you save to “safe spots” in the game making it more horror inducing. Look at Mad father and MISAO from some inspiration in making it better

Dizzy Two
So there’s a DIzzy game on Steam! Not really clear what the involvement of Codemasters, the Oliver Twins or whoever owns Dizzy these days is, but I’m accepting this in good faith.
This is a fairly typical Dizzy arcade adventure, resembling the 16-bit versions with full colour graphics rather than the black sky 8-bit originals. It starts out in an actual house instead of one of those treehouse things, seeming to put Dizzy in more of a realistic setting than usual. I’ve played for a bit and found some annoying platform-jumping bits where you’ll struggle for a while just to get back to where you started… Which is, of course, totally on brand for Dizzy. The puzzles I’ve encountered so far make sense; if anything they’re a bit too obvious.

Gold Rush! Classic
Classic Sierra Adventure Games;
So, that intro from the beginning makes me sigh from the inside. These games (for me) are memories of growing up and sitting on my father’s knee and learning about computers…(the next step involved constructing my own PC from scratch, but that’s a different story for a different time)
Sierra INVENTED the adventure genre as far as I’m concerned, and “Gold Rush” is not only an excellent example of a classic adventure game, it is also the benchmark for self-involved concepts as well as being true to life history.

This game can be super annoying if you don’t know what to expect. Part of it is the primitive mechanics. It’s not like today’s point and click game where you click on a location and the character will move there. You have to use your arrow keys to direct every step of the movement. You also have to instruct the character what to do. Encountering another character will not automatically trigger conversation. You have to tell your character to ‘talk’ by typing this in. If you don’t type in the correct series of words, this will also halt your progress. And last but not least, there is potential to fall into a big hole in this game. Let’s say you did not pick up a certain something on level one, well if you don’t have it at level 10, you can forget finishing this game … Still, there is a lot of charm to this game with its graphics and story plot. I recommend it on sale. I would also like to play the updated anniversary edition.

Majestic Nights
I don’t like Dancing Penguins, I don’t like Jet packs or joy rides and I certainly don’t see the sense on Ninjas cutting up fruit like a retarded imbecile. One could go clone some sharks and make a race game, kinda rip off existing designs and claim innovation.
If your into that kind of thing, great don’t play this game. You probably won’t like it as it takes concepts and elements of political, social issues that concern our world today, not to mention situations that influence our existence as a species and ties them all together in a cocktail of entertainment.

Don’t. Just don’t. Especially the season pass!
If there’s a better example of wasted potential than this game, I don’t wanna know. From the fact that there are – apparently – six episodes planned, with the second being the last to be released five years on, to the seedy ’80s and conspiracy-theories setting being used only rather superficially, this game could – nay, should! – be so much better. Sure, everything the devs could think of was put into a bucket and the bucket spilt over a framework one could call a game, but coherent this is not.

Not Another Weekend
Earlier this year I had the chance to be a beta-tester for a new point ‘n click graphic adventure game, “Not Another Weekend” by Dionous Games. I’ve already proofread books before publication, so this was a great opportunity to do something similar with another favorite passtime of mine, so I jumped on it immediately. The version I played had some hiccups, of course, but I’m going to replay this game soon, because I want to see what the polished product looks like. My first playthrough took me almost 12,5 hours.
– Real player with 18.9 hrs in game
Not Another Weekend is a polished and dare I say addictive point-and-click adventure suitable for genre newcomers but also capable of delighting fans of the classics. It’s so good that I could not put it down, and burned through the game in one or two marathon sittings just after it released. It’s a funny game with a great sense of humor, and there’s plenty of game here; I clocked in at about 10-12 hours for my first playthrough.
I went into this game totally blind. In a short intro, we meet our protagonist, an overworked bellhop with pasty skin and strange, sunken eyes, as he goes about his day doing menial tasks under the thumb of his awful boss at the rundown Hotel 404. However, on Friday afternoon, we soon learn that is is something rotten at the core of hotel 404 - it’s YOU! You are secretly in cahoots with a brain in a jar, and the two of you have a secret plan that necessitates that the hotel be completely vacant by the end of the weekend. By hook or by crook, you need to work out a way of driving out all 13 guests - and a half a dozen employees, as well.

Reagan Gorbachev
What a glorious game!
I got this game because of it’s relevance to history and politics…
I was shocked to find out this game is not only an interesting alternative history game,but its surprisingly stunning pixel art, great dialogue, a playable reskin mode with Trump and Putin, and weapons, make up a great game full of action and stealth. This game has trading cards and a load of achievements which are easily earned if you were to put extra time into this game. Don’t let the two-player playstyle discourage you. This game makes it run very smooth. Just play it for yourself, and you’ll see. Honestly I just want to go on and on about all the positives, but I can’t. It’d take too long. So let me leave you with this.

Arcade Galaxy
As another reviewer wrote, it’s an asset-flip.
– Real player with 0.1 hrs in game
Lucky me gets dubious honour of writing the first review for Arcade Galaxy, which is an asset flip scam.
This is another GameMaker Studio asset flip from serial copy+paste infringers, Piece of Voxel. All these guys do is rip off game templates and projects from the Yoyogames/GameMaker Studio marketplace, change the name and a few cosmetic details, and try to scam people into paying for someone else’s work on Steam. They have run asset flip scams dozens of times, and this is no exception. It’s nothing but a cash grab.
