The ER: Patient Typhon
The ER: Patient Typhon is a documentary about what happens when you decide to be a tourist and why you should stay home. It accurately portrays the events that happen to every tourist out there where you’ll get into a horrible accident, lose your limbs, and get caught up in some Resident Evil Silent Hill situation and become glad you never skipped leg day.
So if you’re stuck inside and want to feel what’s this like, this is the game for you. Also I should note, you in fact can Pet The Dog.

Great game, I recommend it to any indie horror game player, the story keeps you engaged, puzzles are more or less easy to solve, the setting is really interesting, and giving me a “The suffering” vibes, only instead of a prison island you are in a hospital chased by monsters.
The ER: patient typhon has multiple endings, so it has replay value as well.
The only downside is your character moves very slow, and for a first try, that’s all right, but on multiple plays, it feels like it takes forever to go from A to B, and you can’t skip any dialogue options, which is, ok for a first play, but on another play through it’s just, not what you want to do.

VR Balloon Flying over Tokyo and Hokkaido
BE AWARE! This is not a game!
you can roam around as some kind of flying animal in different maps/scenery but all of them are very small.
I only keep this because of the “japanese style street” scenery.
Bamboo-Forest scenery woudl be nice, BUT there is a dfference in the water-refelction in left and right eye,
so no way to enjoy this.
It could be nice if the dev would invest more effort into beta-testing and bug fixing updates.

FlowScape
My favorite purchase all year.
If you’re wondering what I’ve been able to do with FlowScape that led to my review, you can take a look at all of my projects here .
I knew the moment I laid eyes on this, I would most likely love it. It exceeded my expectations as a casual design & illustration tool that just about anyone can use. I have spent many hours putting together village & macro background scenes. The Sculpting tool allow you to create mountains, hills, lakes, rivers, as I see fit. The Painting tool allows you to create walkways. I can construct anything from realistic waterfalls to lost ruins with the Transformation tool to manipulate just about any object.

Wow, it’s difficult to say in words how impressive and relatively deep this instant gratification “game” is! Marketed as a game, but used by many as a 3D design tool. Oh, it’s not Maya, or Lightwave, or even Bryce or Blender, which is cool because we already have those. This is something different, and special, and FAST, and easy! And for all its limitations, what IS here is a lot deeper and impressive than you might imagine!
I’ve made a nice living from building scenes in 3D software for many decades, and I’ve spent countless hours working with wire-frames and pallets of textures and bump maps and lighting devices, and scratching my head over each new entries' exploration into the 3D modeling' procedures. It doesn’t replace those high-end spreads for many projects, but this WILL be replacing the high-rollers on a few projects and making my life so much easier!

Gloomy Eyes
Played with Oculus Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop streaming.
This was incredibly pleasant. Totally worth it on sale for a half hour experience. Worth it regardless if you don’t need to be as concerned over finances. But I would like to see more of these at $5. Girlfriend watched it first and then I did. Was a nice activity for the weekend.
You don’t need controllers once it starts up simply looking at the 3 chapters will start them.
You will want a decent guardian area set up as you’ll want to get in close at times or change your viewing perspective. It’s 360 degrees although things aren’t happening everywhere all the time. It’ll be clear where you should be looking. Sometimes it’s lower to the ground or higher up. Similar to Allumette: The Little Match Girl in style. I do wish it was a little brighter even if it’s supposed to be dark.

Plastiland
Plastiland is a lot of fun. I played every Lemmings game ever made - Plastiland is a lot like Lemmings but without the downside. Too many of the Lemmings games had levels where timing was critical and clicking at just the right place at just the right time made for something that went from fun to frustration.
Plastiland isn’t like that, the frustration part isn’t there. It can certainly be challenging - many of the levels need some thought. That’s not just to get through, but to increase the number of your buddies that get to make it.

Plastiland is a puzzle game where your main objective is to safely lead trough levels super-cute clay figures changing them to right roles(figures).
Gameplay provides much fun, since It managed somehow to keep me in-game for few hours on first playing. Levels are getting harder and harder as you pass them, but tutorial and first few levels are well made for beginers of this genre that they wont have any trouble fitting in to it.
Graphic have awesomly cute models and textures that will be beautiful for everyone from 7 to 77 years old.

AENTITY
This game was on my wishlist for a long time and I honestly hesitated to get it, because I knew it would probably be quite demanding. When I eventually got it, I still didn’t get started on it for almost a week. Once I did, though, I played it for seven hours straight and took over 200 screenshots during that time. It was just as demanding as I expected it to be, but also quite rewarding because of it, and, in the end, it was one of the most fascinating games I’ve played in a long while.
AENTITY is rewarding, daring, fascinating, even confusing at times, but most of all a creative outlet for those who decide to go all in. It’s a game with rules to learn and secrets to discover, but also a tool for the aspiring artist – or the artist in need of inspiration – as well as a piece of art to meditate over. As a tool it takes some practice to understand what it can do – and what you can do with it – so be prepared to take a lot of screenshots while you learn and then cut them down to a handsome few – or keep them all if that’s your thing. ;) I was really picky when I went through mine and kept only like 10%.

I get abstraction….I get having no ambition or specific goal and just go with intuition in the invisible. I do get painting, arts, emptiness and minimalism… I am friend with every space called silence, void, nowhere and nothing.
But this…Hell no! I don’t know if people that do like this game are smoking weed and enjoy the psychedelic blurs of their screen!!? Maybe my pixel needs HD or a better Screen resolution?! I really don’t get it, didn’t enjoy it, getting to finish the game was a nightmare (getting all the achievements). I never want to play that game again ever. This is sad. So my only true opinion about this game is…Watch videos about a typical 15 minutes of game play and make a mind of your own about this because it is for sure a very peculiar game and maybe you will enjoy it, I didn’t. Bought the game 2 years ago for 4.48$. Can’t say I’m outraged. It’s ok even if I didn’t like the game it’s worth the try and it was intriguing enough but now I have enough… Uninstalling the game from my pc is a happy moment right now!

Genesis Noir
Having completed Genesis Noir, I’m not sure how to describe the experience. It is a unique mix of visuals, music, poetry, philosophy, and Big Bang theory. You interact in terms of clicking or moving characters. The biggest challenge is trying to figure out what is required to advance each scene.
The game is split into 12 chapters which have common themes and characters but are very different. Some are super short and others feel like they take forever. Some had obvious ties to the idea of the Big Bang, while others felt like unrelated interludes. At the end of each chapter, you circle back to a central screen with a telescope/cannon (used to select the next chapter) and a display area with collectibles. There is no inventory and the main character pockets items of interest and automatically places them when appropriate. Most of the game is done with black and white line drawings, using gold to accent. Other sections pull in bright colors and feel as if you are looking through a kaleidoscope. The sound track is a mix of jazz, vocals, occasional voice overs, and environmental sounds.

Genesis Noir is quite a strange and scintillating adventure, featuring a time-traveling being trying to reverse the Big Bang. Aside from a few sporadic puzzles, everything is linear and just keeps moving. Otherwise, it’s really not much of a game, as there is very little that you have to do other than follow along the preset path and click on a few items of interest as the game moves forward in its artistic and musical exhibitions.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 4
I have ‘em all, I’ve played all the others, this was the one I saved for last. Now, I’m sorry to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I first played this… by absolutely nothing. There is no pleasantness, only torture.
From the second night 1 started I was filled with such a deeply permeating sense of dread that if I hadn’t had other people there with me I probably would’ve just closed out of it. I saved this one for last because I thought it looked like such a monstrously horrific night terror-esque experience that I wanted to make sure I was horror weathered, and even after I felt generally horror-comfy I still didn’t touch it until I had friends there prepared to share the bear-despair, and I was right. No surprises here, the thing that looks like a nightmare feels like one too.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 is the final chapter in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, together with being the last game, it’s also the scariest game in the series as well.
The game is COMPLETELY different in the gameplay than all of the previous games, you don’t have a security camera anymore, all you have to defend yourself is a flashlight, to scare the animatronics away.
The gameplay is made in such a way, that you need to focus on the audio cues, making you to concentrate on the game carefully, making you feel like you’re a part of it all.

Song of Memories (Complete Scenario)
Story is not good enough to justify the price, too many cliches. Also had some problems like fullscreen cuts 3/4 of the screen and achievements never unlocked to me in the english version.
– Real player with 56.9 hrs in game
Have you ever played a game that probably tried to hard to do to much? That’s the impression I was left with after completing the game. It starts out as a rom-com visual novel, then goes in a darker, post-apocalyptic direction incorporating a rhythm mini-game for combat sequences. The art was well done, and utilizes the E-mote system that makes the sprites move move a little, though personally I’d have preferred static sprites if it could have increased my fps, which ran low throughout the game. Music was very well done, as was the voice acting. The translation to English was great. So why not recommended? A lot of little things that added up to pushing an otherwise enjoyable VN over the edge. There are a number of heroines to run with, but one play through is spoiler enough to not make me want to see what other routes offer. As of this time, I’ve only done one run through and am debating taking another shot. I’ll change this I run another route and it’s different enough to warrant more play, which is what I’d expect from a VN costing as much as this one did. A MC who you just wish you could climb into the game and throttle for being such a spineless wimp. The fps problems. The huge size (I’ve yet to run across a VN taking up 25 GB of space), A combat/rhythm game that got boring very quickly (though it can thankfully be skipped). Achievements that don’t trigger. So, if you can pick it up on sale and are ok with a rather slow moving game and it’s shortcomings, maybe give it a shot, but I wouldn’t recommend for full price.
