Duru – About Mole Rats and Depression
Tuli leads a simple life in the mole rat colony: she collects food, meets with her friends and paints the best pictures in the colony. All the while nobody but her sees the dark creature that makes each of those activities a near unbeatable task.
Duru is a 2D puzzle adventure about mole rats and depression. It shows how we all can help people affected by this illness.
Set in a West-African inspired mole rat colony you play Tuli, one of the gatherers of the colony. One day everything becomes harder as Bel, an AI companion and the personification of Tuli’s growing depression, joins the party.
While running, jumping and painting your way through the tunnels surrounding the colony you have to find a way to deal with Bel and its manipulative behaviour. Your constant companion moves objects you painted around, eats them and holds you back in which ever way possible. Learn to use Bels behaviour in a way that lets you progress.
In the mole rat colony that Tuli calls her home her friends notice that she’s acting strange. She’s less talkative, is always late and seems not interested at all in hanging out with them. Some of them get tired of her tardiness…
You can always see how Bel twists Tuli’s thoughts, how it makes her not feel worth being friends with. Through exploring the mole rat colony and interaction with the other characters you can find out which behaviours are helpful to Tuli and which just make Bel grow.
Follow the story of Tuli – a story about the struggle with insecurities, depression and friendship, told in a colorful, accessible way.
What awaits you:
-
a puzzle adventure in a colorful, West African-inspired setting
-

-
an AI companion that works with and against you

Fumiko!
As far as platfromers go this one is quite unique and extraordinary. First off its 3D, usually we have 2D pixel platformers, but with Fumiko we have a beautiful but abstract environment.
The game looks and feels great, it handles pretty well and every minute spent ingame is a joyous one, this game really is a unique platformer well worthy of it’s price tag.
The backstory or actual story of the game is rather complex and as you play it it starts to make sense to you, first off you play as a Female A.I who doesn’t know who she is where she is or what her purpose is, and that is where a fun feature comes in, something not always present with platformer, exploration; To put it simple it’s pure fun and entertaining. our region is some form of virtual security network mainframe that we get to explore, a lot of detail and creativity went into creating the perfect atmosphere really going the extra mile to present us with a form of authentic of what it would be like to explore a system in such a sense. The music really adds to every function of the game, enhancing it and setting a tone that really just soothes you into the game.

Where to start? The art. The aesthetic. Fumiko! is at once a simplicity and a pleasure to behold. Its low-poly style conveys exactly as much as it needs to, and its vibrant colors illuminate the world in a beautiful and satisfying way.
Meanwhile, the music is always on point to convey a great sense of atmosphere. Are things chill? Got it. Panicked? Also got it. Focused? Warm? Somber? Check, check, check.
The story is revealed in bits and pieces, sometimes through collectibles called memory fragments, other times through dialogue, sometimes simply through the aesthetic of each world. It is chilling, disturbing, familiar. It conveys grand and simple ideas in their turn. It asks the hard questions. It presses us about identity, artificiality, alienation, will, and many others.

(Note: Gameplay is NOT in VR, it’s only a story point)
#### Different Types of Boxes:

a Metal Box, too heavy to stack on other boxes & throw around
-
a Floating Box, this box does not listen to gravity, it’s so light that you might throw it too far
-
a “Rewind Box”, you can record its movements for 5 seconds then it reverses through everything it just did

Portal Boxes, press “Q” on one of these to teleport to the other one
-
A “Control Box”, using the arrow keys on the keyboard you can control this box from anywhere in the level, this will be one of your most powerful utilities.
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.
– Real player with 7.8 hrs in game
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

In the year 2399, automation is rife, every sector across all areas of industry have been automated with just a handful of jobs available to man.
There was no robot uprising or sudden change of power that was expected in the late 20th century, but a gradual erosion of jobs and the crawling growth of vast automated industrial complexes working tirelessly and efficiently, more than man could ever have hoped for.
This should have been a future of hope and prosperity, instead man is relegated to the side lines, a bored consumer, barely able to make ends meet and clamouring for just one of the few remote jobs still available to them.
You’re one of the lucky ones, you’ve been selected from 10s of 1000’s to start as a remote CCTV operator, man’s value now is so low that it is more efficient to have man controlling remote CCTV cameras than to automate them.
Your role is simple, to mark any Automaton units for the recycling program that have malfunctioned or that have hit SAT (Self Awareness Threshold), today is your first day, you connect remotely to the AMI Industrial Complex…
Features
-
Control a remote CCTV drone camera allowing you a unique view into an automated industrial complex
-
Hack devices in the world through a series of ever more complex interfaces
-
Interact with and reprogram devices and automatons
-
Converse with automatons through the branching narrative system
-

Unravel the truth behind this vast automated empire.

Nice game with nice graphics, takes about an hour. Of the negative aspects, I would like to note the lack of the ability to change controlls
