Drawn Down
Surprisingly good game, really enjoyed it! Would’ve liked it to be a bit longer, but given the low price it’s hard to complain. Recommended!

I didn’t quite know what to expect when I started the game. I am a sucker for pixel art point and click adventure games. This one is a nice gem of a find. There’s some interesting plot threads, and a good level of interactivity with the various mechanics that do make it feel like there’s more to puzzle solving than just dragging items over others to progress.
The voice acting is also a nice touch but it can be a bit spotty in places.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this game, especially at the price. I’m looking forward to more from the creator.

Rumu
(click ↑ to open if you don’t see a bullet list)
Basic things you should know:
-
Despite appearances, Rumu is “not a branching narrative ” – none of the dozens of dialogue options you’ll be asked to click through influences the story.
-
The game proceeds through “days,” and you can’t save anywhere mid-day. If you quit out and continue, you go back to the start of the day.

Spoilers ahead. In summary, the game is tedious, too short, (only around 2-5 hours of gameplay) and too predictable.
I’ll give props where props are do. The game did its job in surprising you, in some cases. It was also pretty interesting the first time playing. The graphics aren’t godawful, and the vacuuming parts were pretty satisfying. Now for my complaints.
The storyline was too predictable. There was so much foreshadowing in parts like how Sabrina stuttered a ton when mentioned David and Cecily’s absense. There was obviously something shady Sabrina did.

Spike Match
((It Will be updated soon, this is a prototype version))
It is a game based on the old football of nails, in which you will have to beat the machine as many times as possible, in order to increase your statistics!
You must point the arrow where you want, and then calibrate the speed of the ball to make it hit the goal, so you can add points and win the game.
Despite being a project still under development, we have many plans for it. In the future we intend to put an online mode so that you can play with your friends and challenge people from all over the world.

Let me be clear, I really liked the first game. I think it did most things right and while I wasn’t a fan of the jumpscares and it definitely looked like an indie game production wise.
This game is a perfect example of how sometimes, less is more.
Let me start with my biggest pet peeve of this game, and that’s the extreme slowness of it all. The entire plot is not that long, I actually think it might be around the same length as the first game, but it is padded out by how extremely slow it all is. Be it conversations or the extreme amount of stuff you need to click through and scan gets annoying on the second playthrough, if not first.

Family Mysteries 2: Echoes of Tomorrow
The voice actor playing our hero is terrible. He sounded as though he might actually be a janitor from Germany who was working at the Artifex offices when the original voice actor quit in disgust over the obvious theft of the Terminator storyline for this game. So Artifex frantically searched for someone to fill in for him and they wound up begging Hans the Janitor to do the voice of the inventor turned foolish lover turned emotionless wreck who gets arrested or locked up easily 35 times in this game. Terrible choice. At one point, his wife is put into a trance where her face is covered in lines and our hero screams, “Tina, no!” but it comes out as, “Teeenerrrrr norrrrrrrwwwwrrrrrr.” It was so incredibly godawful. I was ashamed and embarrassed for Hans. He was totally out of his element. He should have been at home with a blanket over his legs and a stein in his hands instead of pretending to play a much younger inventor of A.I. watches.

This was an entertaining game, with an unusual sci-fi flavour. While still a bit more linear than I’d like for a premium game, I enjoyed the HO scenes, which were an interesting and often challenging blend of sci-fi (or electronic) and regular objects.
Pros:
-
the art and music is consistently good and suits the theme very well
-
the story isn’t especially novel, but it’s generally well-executed
-
the main character was interesting, and you can get his comments on various items and animals in the game (he has a quirky sense of humour at times)

THE IMPOSSIBLE
This game has been in my wishlist, waiting for the release. I bought and downloaded this game, almost as soon as it was in my notifications, and played it straight away. I wasn’t disappointed. It’s funny, in a weird way. It’s quite minimalist, which isn’t a bad thing for this kind of game.
You really need to focus on what you see, or don’t see? I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.
There’s steam achievements to collect along the way, as you get further into the labyrinth of puzzles to solve.
I also love the music that accompanies the game, it’s not annoying like some game music can be.

Decent optical illusion based puzzle game with good relaxing music.
I liked it and I can see it having more replay ability than other puzzle games but I would make a few changes to it.
First, it would be nice to see what level you’re on and also to have some added complexity or even obstacles in higher levels.
And I’m not sure what the point of the AI messages are as it adds nothing to the actual game play but I don’t exactly hate it either.
Overall a pretty good game for the price.
6/10

Essays on Empathy
Incredible. I wholeheartedly recommend this release.
If you enjoyed The Red Strings Club, you will definitely love these as well.
They’re so much more than just games (maybe apart from Underground Hangovers, it’s the odd one out), they depict real, relevant issues, the characters feel so genuine and relatable; and the graphics together with the music and the sound design work together perfectly with the narratives.
Quoting the developers in reference to their style in one of the notes, you can expect “thought provoking concepts and stimulating questions and decisions”.

- Short Review -
Essentially a collection of short stories that cover a wide range of topics.
I will say there are strong themes in most, if not all, of the games present in Essays on Empathy. There are warnings before you play each one so you will not be blindsided. A lot of these games hit close to home, so please play with care.

my fluffy life
Update 2 (Late Autumn Update) :
Gameplay : The gameplay has improved very much. The seasons make every season change exciting. The new minigame introduced where you collect apples, pumpkins, and hiney to make jam is an excellent game. It keeps my attention and the art design is gorgeous. The amount of teddycoins you make from that game is also reasonable in my opinion. The way the minigames themselves make you gain happiness as well as working towards another minigame is something I very much enjoy. Growing chamomile bushes and collecting honey is also very relaxing! One thing I think that could enhance the game play of the jam-making minigame in particular though is being able to make multiple jams at once. By this, I mean that I can stack layers of apples and honeycomb to make several apple jams, similar to how you can stack items in Minecraft in the crafting table to make multiple of the same object all at once. Of course this is just a suggestion and I respect the vision pooftie wishes to create, so if she does not want to do this for any reason, I am fine with that!

Sayonara Electric
Beautiful game with narration
The art, music, and voice acting in this game is very nice. I enjoyed the story, the way it unfolds is enjoyable. The concept could have been fleshed out a bit more.
The USD $10 price tag is a bit steep for some people, considering the length of the VN. If you can catch it on sale, go ahead. You will enjoy it over a cup of coffee.

A very short interactive story featuring soothing narration and top-notch voice acting.
Game’s premise:
_**The game is set on lunar base, now that the life on earth has ceased its existence.
You wake up at the sound a soothing voice. Rick is standing in front of you while stating that the Christmas day has come.
With the reassuring company offered by Rick and your cat Elec, you live through your daily slow-paced routine.**_
Featurings:
This game does offer an interactive story to experience in a form quite comparable to reading an actual book, with the addition of Japanese voice acting.
