Bram The Toymaker
A scary bedtime story or a horrid physical entity?
The story goes that the toymaker is an undead figure who comes out at night leaving a toy on the children’s bedroom window to lure and capture them. Upon finding an old hidden journal, Blake discovers that a folktale passed through generations in his family might hold some dark secrets. He embarks on a journey to unravel what’s behind his ancestor’s mysterious journal.
Return to your family roots, deep into a long-forgotten isolated 19th-century village called Grimmville where time has stopped.
Upon arriving at the abandoned manor, once you set foot inside suddenly you find yourself trapped. Equipped with a flashlight you must explore the rooms. Some of them are escape-room style. Your main objective is to look for clues in order to solve timed puzzles that will give you the necessary items to progress further and make your way out.

Spectrolite
Amazing game that is great for anyone who loves platformers and a must buy for anyone who likes the outrun style. I have to admit having the best level first mayyyy have not been the smartest idea but i enjoyed the game all the way through and the ending was great! I hope to see sequel if this game does good and am looking forward to returning for the time trials and possibly the DLCs (wink). 10/10 would and have recommended.

Alone in the Office
Alone in the Office is a really fun and scary game! You start out in the office signing some documents, or if you want you can just exit and walk around the office and do the other tasks. Eventually, the lights will turn off, and the hunt from the monster begins. You have to navigate in the dark to find the correct switch to turn the light on while the monster is lurking around. There is a glitch however, to where whichever light you turn on first, you can keep using that same switch whenever the light turns off. The monster is pretty scary but you can run away from him if you have the stamina. Without stamina, you’re pretty much done for. You can replenish stamina with coffee which is around the map, as well as batteries for a flashlight you find later on, and a key for doors that you need to open. The game does a pretty good job on explaining what you have to do, although I wish you didn’t have to click tab every now and then to see your inventory and objective status, but that is just personal opinion. You have 3 tasks, sign documents, move boxes to the storage room, and approve or decline paperwork on a computer. The lights will turn off randomly while you do whichever of these tasks. All in all I really recommend this game for the price and gameplay as well as the scares lol. It is pretty hard at first but after you get the hang of things you can probably beat it. Here is my full game playthrough/let’s play if you want to check it out. Thank you and have a blessed and spooky day! :)

This game has some potential, but there were too many things to keep track of to beat the game! Also there was no map so you basically I had to figure out where to go all on my own with no instructions in the menu as well! Again, I could see this game being really good but I think the people who made it have a lot of things to work out before I would consider it fun.
If you want an idea of what I am talking about, I posted a video of me attempting to play it:

Beyond Horror: Episode One, A Father’s Journey
This is a good indie horror game, with some interesting ideas.
I look forward to seeing what the developers have in store for us next!

Not a bad amount of content for $3. Takes a bit over an hour to finish.
The game has some bugs and isn’t perfectly polished, but it certainly is
a decent start for this developer. I hope to see more later on! :)

This puzzle game is so very impressive, I LOVE it! The puzzles are simple and hard at the same time. If you fail on a door, you will have to restart with a possible chance of the puzzle changing on you. So no path will be the same. The map is huge! So don’t expect to just go through just doors. Lots to explore and discover. The graphics are amazing for this type of game and I look forward to trying to solver every puzzle! A+

Escape from DuFo
Good short game. It only took about 10 minutes to complete but I enjoyed it quite a bit and wished it was a full game. It looked good and ran great plus the puzzles were pretty decent. Overall for less than a $1 on sale I would recommend checking it out. If you want to see some game play you can check out my play through below.

If you are just playing through the in-game story and nothing else, then you’re doing it wrong. Read this review.
Most players will play through the story and call it a day, so I will let those players review that Story Mode aspect of the game in their own reviews. Though the story is fun, it’s not what makes this game special. For me, the appeal of the game is allowing yourself to sink into and be immersed in the living and breathing game world and not fight to escape it. I had an absolute blast waking up, exploring, unlocking locations, making money by working shifts at the restaurant, upgrading and decorating my apartment, sitting on the couch watching awesome shows on my flatscreen TV, hanging out at the Jazzy Java Joint for a cup of coffee, and just living it out in the city. Once you understand this and immerse yourself, you’ll realize that the main storyline was just an extra side mission and the real game is everything besides it, not the other way around.

There is a review for this game that seems to be a negative one and also happens to have a lot of upvotes. This review complains that this game is not how its demo was. That this game went from a horror diner dash game, to a horror diner dash game with story and added mechanics. Because of this, it wasn’t a game they expected to play at release and it sucks.
The only thing they got right in their review is that this game does not have a “slow burn” horror approach, which I agree it doesn’t and that kind of sucks. Other than that though… This review is wrong. This review is a hot take. This reviewer has terrible opinions. Everyone that upvoted that particular review also have terrible opinions. Below are reasons why…

Homesick
What is it?
Homesick is a narrative-style indie game that sits somewhere between The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Dear Esther (but with considerably more ‘game’ than the latter). Your objective is no more than to find out what happened, why you are there and how to escape by a small amount of puzzle-solving and decyphering of cryptic code to reveal what happened. Homesick is a short game and mostly entails you unlocking access to various areas that form one floor of an abandoned apartment block and eventually piecing together the story before finding your escape.

(Based on a review code I got from the developers.)
I have to say that this is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time: it’s definitely the best new game I’ve played this year. Playing it filled me with a vague sense of trepidation, but also an overwhelming need to explore and to find out where I was, why I was there and what my purpose was in that place, if I even had one. The puzzles rely on real world logic, so they’re quite straightforward and uncomplicated, and I didn’t wish they presented a bigger challenge, because to me, it doesn’t seem like Homesick is the kind of game that focuses on brain challenges: it’s all about exploration, and the puzzles (and their solutions) are just a way of helping you better explore the place around you. The way most of them leave a mark on the environment was amazing to witness: it feels so satisfying to solve something and watch its result bloom around you, an explosion of colour in a landscape almost entirely devoid of all colours that aren’t blinding white or washed out grey. The atmosphere in Homesick is exceptional, too, thanks largely to the soundtrack that impressed the pants off of me. It would be an entirely different game without it, which is easy to realise when you’re solving one of the puzzles that requires almost complete silence, and you realise how much you miss the music.
