The Stonks Market
A charming meme game that manages to capture my experience in the stock market frighteningly well. The writing from Vagabond Dog is what you expect, funny and well paced. It’s a relatively short playthrough, but it’s worth to go through a second time if you lost it all when you yolo’d in $JANC the first time. 10/10 would hold again.

A short, but comical story about a clueless man flirting with the stock market for the first time.
The trading platform sections are enjoyable and are critical to directing the narrative one way or the other. Are you going to lose more than just your money, or will you triumph and end on a high? The story being tied to my trading performance made me care about doing well to potentially get a good conclusion.
I’m about to go through it again and see how my story differs if I YOLO it all!

Steamulator 2019
Disclosure: I’m friends with one of the conceptualizers of the game.
Enjoyable game for the price. Simplistic in nature but a generally addictive nature will make players want to keep coming back to the game. The game has you running your own Steam storefront where you have to monitor your stats to assure they aren’t too high or too low, otherwise its game over.
The game suffers from some bugs such as no matter what the event is, every time you swipe right on a card, your game count will increase by 1, even if the choice doesn’t involve publishing a game to Steam and the confusing stat adjustments made in correspondence with your decisions (how does accepting games have the same positive influence on developers as when you deny them?)

Well I originally wrote a long rant about why I hate these devs after they’re first success that was half-decent, but then I realized I would probably get deleted for it, so here’s my attempt at a reasonable and constructive review for this game.
Don’t buy it, Reigns is better. Long story short, it just seems like a cash grab to me, as was their last game after the initial lootbox simulator success that was alright but probably not worth the cost. It’s a half baked concept they put a price on to cash in on. Or perhaps an attempt at a game inspired by games like reign that they gave up on either out of boredom or inability to manage to work out kinks and bugs. I would suggest Game Dev Tycoon or other similar rip offs if you’re looking for the steam-esque simulators. I have a degree in computer game development that I haven’t used in 3 years because I wasn’t a fan of it, so I have a basic understanding of how to make a game. If I bothered to do research I could probably make this myself for free. Anyway, not worth a look if you ask me, if you’re looking for anything from these guys, the only good thing is I can’t believe it’s not Gambling, the first one, not the second.

AdVenture Capitalist
I’ve successfully beaten this game (as in, unlocked everything) without spending a single cent on it. Most of the “time” I have logged on this game was from leaving it idle, and there’s nothing to be gained from this game. I did it as a personal test to train myself to resist microtransactions.

Probably the best and most fun clicker out there.
Took me 1 year to complete 100% (I’m on the finish line right now, probably 2 more days to complete it), but the game is worth the time.
It had some balance issues, but now the game is properly fixed and the events and daily gifts provide a lot of opportunities for players to gain multipliers on the hardest planet to complete, Earth.

Chimpology
Chimpology is a retro pixel button mashing game where you must hit the keys corresponding to “1” and “0” in sequence. Get the numbers right and you can progress. Enough mistakes and you lose. For some reason they decided that despite having “0” and “1” keys on your keyboard, they should be “z” and “m” because apparently these guys never saw a keyboard before.
There’s no other gameplay to speak of here. Graphics are ugly. The developers seem to have put more effort into explaining why their terrible game works the way it does (chimpanzees or something) than actually developing a game people might enjoy. Totally not worth $3.

Dealer’s Life 2
Very interesting game , it feels like it have a lot of potencial like dealers life 1 to improve. Game is a quite harder than first dealers life at start , i feel like there is a slight way to many less good items what you can buy from neutral auction because it simse that computer know almost all the time exact price of each item what he can bid. Also from the start of the game the guy who keep making your life hard by making excuses so you have to pay him ( even if you buy bouncer from start he have to be lvl 2 so he can throw him out of your shop ) is rly anoying and slow you down . This game have a lot of potencial and i hope that it will be worked on , Personaly i dont mind that game is a bit harder from start it just depend of your bargain skills but after you pass certain lvl and make some money the game starts to shine. Keep it up

I usually feel like the haggling mechanics in video games are simple or sloppy, but the devs have clearly put a LOT of time into making haggling feel real and natural, not just “random” or predictable/formulaic. Here are a couple examples of situations that are common:
-
Someone comes with something appraised at 50k. They would accept a 40k offer if I offered it first (reloaded the game to confirm), but if I initially offer 30k, they get “mad”, and later won’t accept 40k.
-
Someone comes in with something appraised at 50k. I offer 40k. They counter 47k. I offer 43k. They counter 46k, I offer 45k, they accept

Dealer’s Life
I love this game! I have had it since it launched on the play store for mobile devices.
I like how I can play it in a windowed tab and often play while watching tv on my laptop.
I wish the game offered more things such as leaderboards so you can see how you compare to other players. I have beat the game a few times with 24 weeks been the fastest to complete. and was wondering how that compares to other players.
Other things I think that would be cool would be head to head competitions where you have 15-30 minutes to try and have more money at the end than your competitior. It would help make the game interesting for me again.

The Game:
This is basically the buy and sell portion of Recettear with a bit more depth added. You can add stats to yourself to be able to:
• Know the value of items
• Charm customers
• Read the customers' level of greed, desire for the item, and their patience for negotiations
You can hire people for your shop as well who will add a little to those stats, and who can also restore broken items, or authenticate them, or even create counterfeits.
Pros:
- Fun and addictive if you enjoy buy and sell games where you are the merchant (I love this type of game)

Division of Labour
In Division of Labour, the player takes on the role of The Manager in a developing nation called Auriverde during a world ecological collapse.
The player manages the workforce and machinery of a factory, fulfilling contracts and earning profits for the Overseer Corp. Buying resources, manufacturing goods, managing the workers and facing moral and ethical decisions are the core of the game.
Compassion
The player has the option to make their workers more comfortable to improve efficiency, or pay them more to increase worker happiness. Events may occur where the player can do a favour for a worker, give time off for a holiday or generally try to help them.
Exploitation
However, Overseer Corp always demands larger and larger profits, and so balancing these becomes the core of the game. To make greater and greater profits, more sacrifices will need to be made and corners will need to be cut.
Storytelling
Along the way, the player will be presented with moral and ethical decisions regarding their works and the world at large. Whether it’s simply a worker who needs time of for medical reasons or an earthquake on the other side of the world sending migrants flocking to Auriverde for work and security, there’s always decisions to make.
Development Progress
A playable demo will be available very soon. To stay up to date with development you can follow our site. For now, consider adding us to your wishlist!
Karen: An Outrage Simulator
I went into this game expecting 45 minutes-1 hour’s worth of silly little content that would give me, someone who’s worked in food and retail, a good laugh.
What I got was 3 hours of organ rupturing good humored, nail on the head scenarios that were so scarily familiar but also insanely ridiculous.
Without spoiling anything (yes, yes, there is a plot, and it is delicious), you go through a good handful of incredibly unique, inconvenient situations that could truly happen to anybody. No level feels like a repeat, no joke feels overused or like low-hanging fruit (unless you count the entire premise of the game as low hanging fruit). If you play on Normal mode, you have to figure out how to manipulate different characters to get what you want purely through intuition and guess work, WITHOUT you (Karen) becoming outraged and making a disaster of the place.

Similar to other reviews, I thought this game would be shorter…offering maybe an hour of content. I ended up streaming it for over 3 hours.
I played this with a couple of other friends and we all took turns voice-acting Karen and the other characters. We spent so much time laughing our sides were sore!
I’ve also worked 7 years in retail and, again like other reviewers, have encountered my fair share of “Karens” and this game accurately depicts the stereotypical Karen in her natural habitat.
