Learning Factory
As a big fan of simulators (especially building-type simulators), I was excited to check this game out from the second it popped up on my gaming feed. It’s still in Early Access so it’s not quite complete, but you’ll still be able to put in quite some time to getting your factory up to tip top shape.
PROS:
-
Nothing really costs too much money, so as long as you keep your researchers busy learning new things, you can make a large factory/shops with ease.
-
Once you craft something, it’s yours forever. If you place it down, you can just pick it right back up.

Highly recommended, I bought it the moment the lovely Discord staff said it was up on Steam for sale.
Keeping in mind, this is an Early Access game, so some features will be inevitably changed, but so far, the game is so reminiscent of Factorio. Within the two hours of me playing this game, it had me do some quests that get you a little taste of the game.
Fair Warning, this game is buggy. It just got released a few hours ago. Have some faith you people.
I personally have beef with that delayed crafting bug.

ZooKeeper
Become the best Zoo Owner and build the greatest Zoo of all time!
ZooKeeper is a game in which the player takes on the role of zoo owner. One of his main tasks is to manage the zoo in such a way as to make it as popular as possible with the staff and visitors.
Buy vacant land and create biomes for rare animals
Raise the necessary funds, purchase an empty land plot, and get it organized to open the best zoo in the region. Choose new equipment for individual biomes. Purchase rare animals that match the climate of the biomes you have created.
Look after the animals
Keeping your animals in good health is very important and the success of your zoo depends on it. Don’t forget that each animal requires regular feeding and cleaning up of the enclosure, and if it becomes ill, you should treat it.
Build a great team of employees
As a leader, you must be aware that your employees are not only a great help for you, but also a great responsibility. You will have to learn to manage your team in all situations and remember to pay their salary on time…
Bring back to life long-extinct reptile species and place them in your zoo
When you become a successful zoo owner, nothing will stop you from achieving even more. Nobody will ever forget a zoo where they can see prehistoric animal species, and you can become the first to provide visitors with such an amazing opportunity.
while True: learn()
After finishing the whole game, despite of my strong objections that I’ve written about in my original review (below), I’ve decided to change my review into thumbs up.
It took me some time to analyze my thoughts, and while I still have strong objections about inconsistency of various gameplay mechanics, the game truly has a charm, is well done and doesn’t deserve negative review, even if as a programmer purely analyzing the consistency of the gameplay I’d rate it negatively without a second thought.
– Real player with 30.3 hrs in game
Let me start off by saying that I actually really enjoyed playing the game. The challenges are fun to solve and while they generally were not very difficult, I often found myself going back to old exercises and solving them in different ways.
Nevertheless, with the current state of the game, I cannot recommend it since there are just too many flaws that I cannot overlook even for an early access title.
Many of these are easily fixable,which is why I will go over the major problems one by one so that the developer(s) can consider my feedback.

Animal Shelter: Prologue
This game has a lot of potential in growth and I am very excited to see where it goes, there is so much you can do in it from building your shelter to taking care of animals, interacting with them in different ways.
this is a game for all ages to enjoy and I got about 8 hours out of it just from the prologue. It was derptastic fun!
there are some cons though as all games do
The game is a bit repetitive at times with the back and froth but again what game isn’t this is the type of game style it is so if you don’t like that maybe its not for you, but it does not get boring either.

Pretty cute game but it doesnt take long to run into bugs and theres no ‘report bug’ option which kinda annoyed me.
Idk why but I cant move the main dog enclosure space even though i have no dogs inside?
There were other glitches but luckly I found my way out of them.
From time to time the game would lag like actually completely stop for a solid second and go back to normal (my pc specs are not the problem this happens when the game is all on max and all min settings).
The player is suuuper short and, not to be picky or anything but, the player is the only thing that doesnt have a shadow.

Catizens
Herding cats is easy! Said no one…ever
Your main job in Catizens is to build your town around the personality traits of its inhabitants. Just like in real life, cats require personal attention and special treatment. Combinations of different personality traits and moods affect their proficiency and obedience. Catizens form relationships with each other and will occasionally issue personal requests, so you will need to learn what makes each cat happy in order to stay on their good side.
Create unique cats and design the perfect home
Pick from an assortment of facial and body features, as well as personality traits to create cats with distinct looks and temperaments. Design a place just for them by decorating the interior of their home with pieces of furniture, plants and other items. The better furnished a house is, the happier your catizens will be. So get creative!
Build and manage your settlement
Catizens can learn a variety of professions – from farming, to blacksmithing or offering protection from local wildlife. Different building types unlock depending on the traits and professions available. There’s no need to micromanage the entire settlement when it gets large. Invest your time and attention in a few outstanding cats and let them become town leaders.
Explore the wilderness
Develop your settlement, complete objectives and expand to areas with different environments that offer new adventures. Carefully examine your surroundings to find the best fishing spots, hidden treasures and quirky characters that may offer a quest.
Fort Meow
The goal of the game is simple: You have to build an catproof pillow fort to be able to read a book in the attic.
The thing is there is more than meet the eyes at first and the story behind the situation is certainly one of the cutest I read. I won’t spoil it because it’s part of what makes this game so nice and there is nothing better than letting yourself being surprised by the reason why there are so many lap obsessed cat in the house.
I’m playing that game in the background when I’m doing something else (aka discussing with people, doing a quest on a MMO or roleplaying) and it’s exactly the sort of game you can enjoy by focusing fully on it or doing something else at the same time. You have as much time as you want to prepare your defense against the catlaps, so taking break to do something else is 100% possible.

Fort Meow is a somewhat short physics based pillowfort simulator. In this game you follow Nia as she unravels the secrets of her grandparents sudden disappearance and why there are so many cats around…And why they’re so clingy!
You begin the game building a basic fortress from chairs and brooms, and eventually you have an entire house worth of furniture in there, all ready to ward off the cats who keep trying to interupt your quest to figure out what Nia’s grandpa wrote in his journal the days shortly before this all.

Campido
FINALLY, the dev listened and fixed this.
If you love dogs and you love easy card games you will love this.
The rules are extremely simple and the tutorial levels walk you through the learning process nicely as you progress to learning more cards.
This is the perfect game to play after a long day when you just want to chill out.
At the current price, it’s worth every cent.

A fun card game that keeps you focused throughout the gameplay with nice tavern dog theme.
I like that the game mechanics revolve around memory/ taking some risks.
There is a nice progression that adds more mechanics for cards throughout the gameplay.
Would reccomend!
