Soul Catcher

It’s nice to play a game that doesn’t hand everything to you on a plate. In an age of ultra-high budget productions I’m reminded that sometimes simplicity can produce a compelling game. Some talented individuals with a story to tell, maybe a few puzzles and jump scares along the way make a surprisingly compelling game. Because of the whole horror retro vibe of the game this is definitely one to play with headphones. I have to admit that I took a while to complete this, probably because I’m not that great at puzzle games. I have to admit there were periods of frustration when I was stuck on a few puzzles but to me that makes it all the sweeter when you finally figure it out. Don’t get me wrong, the game isn’t without its flaws. The low-res aesthetic certainly won’t appeal to everyone. Sometimes it feels like the difficulty of the puzzles can suddenly jump without much of a ramp up to them. I think an optional hint mode as an option within each puzzle could help. Checkpoints need to be more evenly spaced as I had to play for a good 30 minutes before I hit my first one. For what the game is, when it was floated on the steam store I thought it was a little expensive. But hey what are Steam sales for! All in all this game is a great reminder that you don’t necessarily need a multi-million pound budget and photo realistic graphics to make a compelling story that’s enjoyable (if a little scary) to play through. Now I just need to complete play throughs with all the other characters XD.

Yes, I’m aware of the ALL CAPS game this title is similar to.

Are there games out there like Rogue?

Yes, a lot. That is why “Rogue-like” is now a genre.

Am I going to make a federal case out of inspiration?

No, no I am not.

What I will do is say that this game is awesome. It sets up its own unsettling folklore-themed flavor, presented in classic retro-PC style, with some pretty clever puzzles. There are multiple characters, and multiple endings depending on what you do and/or the order you do things in.

Ruff Night At The Gallery

Do you like dogs?

Do you like being spooped?

Do you like being licked and spooked at the same time?

THEN THIS GAME IS FOR YOU!

The atmosphere is amazing, the dogs are amazing. It’s so amazing I made a video about it filled with dog puns (check it out: https://youtu.be/_DyTvYA3wbI )
It’s so amazing I could write something completely out of scamalot by James Veitch “I love the way it started”.

Loved it! I actually recorded myself playing on the day of release, but of course the footage bugged out because I was using experimental features. It was such a short yet entertaining experience. No bugs, crashes, or lag spikes either, and on day 1, that’s pretty impressive (especially since I was recording). I think I’m more impressed with how creative the New Game + is. Won’t spoil for anyone reading, but it isn’t what you’re expecting. It was so hectic too, like, I had to actually catch my breath between segments. Good job guys!

Valiant Hearts: The Great War™ / Soldats Inconnus : Mémoires de la Grande Guerre™

One of the best all around adventure story games released in the last few years. A mix of a beautifully composed musical score, stellar artwork, great story, impressive puzzles, and real life historical content. This game actually made me think about the collectibles and ponder the historical facts as much as I did the story at times.

Set during World War I (The Great War), Valiant Hearts gives you a look at individuals in war and how this particular group of individuals finds themselves connected. A German man married to a French woman who is forced to go back to Germany and fight. His father-in-law forced to fight for France. An American who befriends the Frenchman. A female doctor that finds herself crossing paths with all of them. Then there is Walt, the war dog, who becomes their ally, friend, and savior at times. While they all may battle for different reasons, countries, or leaders, they all care for one another. They all find ways to help one another overcome struggles, support one another in troubles, and connect to one another as humans rather than enemies.

It seems only natural that since we are in the midst of the centennial anniversary of the war that was to end all wars, a game should be released. In the gaming world, it seems that almost every war has been covered. Sadly, little to no recognition has been given to the war that launched the world into the modern age and changed how we live today. Valiant Hearts proves to be one of the first games to give a great picture of the struggles of World War I as well as a satisfying gaming experience.

In Valiant Hearts, we follow the stories of five heroes: Emile, a Frenchman; Hans, Emile’s son-in-law who is deported from France because of his German origins; Freddie, an American who volunteers and fights alongside the French in his quest for revenge; Anna, a nurse searching for her father in Belgium; and Walt, a German first aid dog that comes across the path of each of these heroes and helps any way he can. While it may seem highly coincidential how these five individuals continually come across each other’s paths, their backgrounds and motivations are very believable. The friendships that they build are genuine and felt by the players, without dialogue. Most conversations in this game are done by comic book bubbles and short distinct phrases that are spoken by the characters.

Veterinary Clinic Simulator

Diagnose your patients

In the Veterinary Clinic Simulator, you will not be led by the hand. Based on the animal’s behavior, you will have to find out for yourself what is wrong with your patient. Often even a simple and obvious case may turn out to be an unprecedented illness.

Choose a treatment method

After a successful diagnosis, your next goal will be to find the right treatment for the injury you have previously detected. Just like during the examination, also, in this case, you have full freedom in approaching the treatment for all of your patients.

Remember, not all injuries can be healed right away, sometimes you will have to look after a sick animal for several days.

Upgrade your clinic

To cure more exotic animals or more complicated diseases, it will be necessary to purchase the appropriate equipment.

With the money you earn, you will be able to upgrade your clinic in any way you want. Choose the right equipment and decide where to put it.

Handle random events

In addition to dealing with your daily duties, you will have to deal with all sorts of random events. You can ignore them or try to help everyone. It is only up to you how you approach them. Remember, you are doing all this for the good of the animals!

Save our four-legged friends!

Animal Shelter Simulator grants you the opportunity to tackle the challenging but also highly rewarding task of running a refuge for strays and rescues. Witness firsthand how much effort goes into helping abandoned and injured animals as you handle a number of tasks necessary for your shelter to operate smoothly.

Clean Them

Your rescues will need to take a lot of steps on the path to improved health, and good hygiene is the very first one. Get your hands a little dirty so that their paws stay clean and their spirits soar high.

Protect Them

There’s a bit of a wild side to every critter out there and it’ll be your job as a responsible caretaker not to let it break out in any nasty fashion. Manage the animals well and keep the peace among the residents of your refuge.

Take them for a walk

What better way to burn off all that excess energy than a good, old-fashioned trot out in the fresh air? Keep your animals stimulated and entertained. You can be sure they’ll be starved for attention!

Extend

As you succeed in your efforts, you will be faced with additional challenges. Make sure to turn them into opportunities as you invest in your facilities and expand according to your growing needs.

Convince them

The ultimate purpose of your initiative and the most rewarding conclusion to all of its efforts – when an animal makes its way to a brand new, loving home. Look after your rescues and ensure they are adopted by your shelter’s visitors.
