Welcome to PINEHILLS
While the store page states it was released in August 28, 2021, it is not a full release. The files even state on the startup screen they are using the July Early Release. Therefore, this game is still “Early Release”. I spent 2 hours going into every empty building, going along every road, covered the lighthouse and even went as far into the ocean until you fall off the map. The game only has 3 “otherworldly” flashbacks. The total number of angels you can find are 4 of 12. The game is impossible to complete because there are no more angels to find on the map. Once you find all 12 angles I’m guessing the trapdoor inside the church will open and you can complete the game? If you want a “complete game” with a similar map check out Titan Chaser. Your money will be better spent there unless the dev releases the complete game of Welcome to PINEHILLS cause right now this is not it folks!

The game is akin to one puzzle like you would find in Res Evil 4 and the whole game has been centered around it.
Find x number of angel statues around the game world and replace them in PineHIlls' church.
Problem is after that hiding three or four statues and placing some very empty stock asset structures in about about six different spots the devs never came back to scatter the remaining angels.
This should be Early Access but the empty discussion board suggests abandoned.

The Dream Libra had
It was a fun little game… my only complaint is not about the game but that I earned all the achievements and then discovered what “Profile Features Limited” means. I’ve never noticed this note on any other games but now I know this game doesn’t appear in my “Perfect Games”… why Steam???
Otherwise, good luck figuring out the trash can… you can do it… and the Elixir mission… lol. They were tough but doable. Nice touch by the game dev to make those a challenge.

The Dream Libra had
This game is a really simple adventure indie game. I really enjoyed playing this game, I like the genre and games with strange atmosphere and funny and weird quest. Sure the story might be mind shocking to genre savvy people but I liked the twist anyways. Plus I am a big fan of how the quest tied in with the story/message of the game. The game does have issues with it inventory and picking up items. It was really annoying trying to get an item off the floor and no way to toggle to it. Also the way way you shoot your gun. Sometimes I am clicking directly at the enemy but it doesn’t connect and takes a few tries before they die. Also there is some game mechanic that felt useless like the heart v body stats? I am not sure if the affects the ending. There is some spelling and grammar errors but this guy is doing everything himself and it is way better than other translations it brings charm anyways.

Fallow
i’m not one to usually review games, and i’ve been putting reviewing this one off for a while now, but: fallow touched me deeply; it made me feel exceedingly personal feelings that games don’t often make you feel - and i think that you should play it as soon as you get the chance. it’s one of those games that you aren’t going to forget if you’ve gone through similar experiences to the ones presented at all, and the almost 8 years of work put into it really shows. small details, extra content that’s practically longer than the game itself, impossible-to-find dev commentary; a soundtrack that i cannot stop listening to on repeat- i bought the physical edition and am ecstatic about it coming in, if only for the bonus tracks on the cassette alone.

Took a few days to chew on this after finishing it because it’s hard to write a review of a game that affected you so deeply. I’ll start by mentioning that I’ve followed Rook for a few years now so I knew I’d enjoy this game, but I was unprepared for how deeply it impacted me.
In just a few short hours, Fallow managed to touch on a great many of my own feelings and insecurities about things that I often cannot talk about, not out of fear but because there simply aren’t words to describe them. It did this in a way that felt totally genuine. Fallow touched me in a way I would say is underneath words.

Oxenfree
Oxenfree is another unique experience that I search Steam for, it’s odd how often I find what can be discussed into “what is a game?”
But like many of these games that I have played, such as Edith Finch, Her Story, and Orwell, there’s so much more to the story that simply dismissing it as “not a game” ignores the important question. “Is it worth the money for the experience, whether it’s a game or not?”
Oxenfree gets me to answer the question with an “Oh god, yes”. It’s non-traditional in how it does it, but it brought me in with a great story and then made it better for a second playthrough.

Review
It’s unusual to see an indie game that perfectly manages to balance both character-driven and plot-driven qualities of a story; consequently, this equipoise creates a spiffing interconnectedness between the two driving forces of the tale, which skyrockets the overall momentum of the experience. Oxenfree—the first game of Night School Studio—revolves around a bunch of teenagers who decide to travel to a remote, mystifying island to have some fun. While doing so, they recklessly try to put the sinister urban legends of the island to the test by perturbing the supernatural lifeform within it; well, in brief, the urban legends pass the test with grade A+.

Ghost Hunters Corp
This Game is a Gem. It sets itself apart from phasmo in many ways. It’a way more interactive than phasmo.
I love that we can buy/bring as many items as we want. We are not limited in this game.
You can pick up items around the map and throw them about and make the ghosts mad. Or even take some of the cursed map assets back to base for more money. The Ghost can follow you back to the Van, and even break the door off. House doors also get yeeted.

I’m used to give a chance to early access games, even if it means I could encounter bugs, crashes and lags (I’ve been playing ARK survival since the start in june 2015 !) But Ghost Hunters Corp is not an alpha game, it’s very well made and simply needs a few more contents to be released.
Don’t trust those raging players that yell it’s a copy of Phasmo. I also play Phasmo and it’s absolutly not the same game. Of course, the idea is the same, but the gameplay is slightly different: in GHC, you need to find which entity you seek before exorcism it. And AI’s behavior and reaction are different. The fear it gives you is also not the same. I like jumping on one and the other as if I did different missions, as being another kind of hunter 😊 It’s a real pleasure, except when I go to bed after that!

The Mortuary Assistant
Having completed your degree in mortuary sciences, you have taken on an apprenticeship at River Fields Mortuary. Over the past several months you have logged many hours aiding the Mortician in daily tasks along with learning the ins and outs of the embalming process as well as how to properly handle and care for the deceased.
Over your time at River Fields, you have heard rumors of families bringing their deceased loved ones believed to be possessed or otherwise entangled with the paranormal to this specific mortuary to put to rest. But, with such a stigma around death and what happens when we die, it’s no surprise people make up stories around the dead.
Late one night, you are called into work to handle some embalmings. Death doesn’t keep day time hours. But there is something different about these bodies because there is something different about you. The phone rings with the Mortician on the other end. The rumors are true, and you can not leave.
Perform embalmings, handle the various jobs around the mortuary, and exercise demonic forces. All in a day’s work.

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:
