Howdy, Jacob!

Howdy, Jacob!

This was a visual trip, it’s kinda like Where’s Waldo but with psychedelics. It has a very interesting approach to storytelling which I like and the music is fun and upbeat. It gave me some nostalgic vibes. I was reminded of the video overlays in one of the Police Quest games for the storytelling and the levels have a sort of wondrous mystique to them that you don’t experience much in games these days. There’s a totally dark vibe to the story without being too scary.

If I had to list one criticism it would be that I struggled to find the exit button during a level, but it all worked out of course. Overall it was worth the $10 for sure.

Disclosure: I was on the video capture and performance team for the game, but did not have anything to do with gameplay, art, or design.

Howdy, Jacob! shines brightest in its rich world and great writing. The characters are interesting and diverse, and curious players are always rewarded with a little bit of content wherever they look. It is a world that feels much, much bigger than the game, and fascinating!

The other high point is the art! The images are very vivid and unique, and the style sticks with you!

Zombie Training Simulator is exactly what it sounds like; Its a preparation for the IRL zombie apocalypse - except with a twist: Its a ton of fun! The graphics are simplistic, yet detailed and polished. Although they are not realistic, the game is still highly immersive. Because the zombies are cardboard cut-outs, the game allows you to enjoy the same fun that a bloody, gory, zombie, shooter game gives you, without all the blood, guts, and horror (Although it can be very startling when you turn around and see a zombie you were not expecting to be there, #CardboardJumpscare).

My favorite for gun mechanics. This is basically a target range shooter or a wave shooter depending on which mode you play. You basically just shoot paper zombie targets but in one mode they will advance on your position and you can use all sorts of novelty items like lanterns and grenades to take them out. You even get a katana. That’s pretty freaking cool. You can even alter the grip angle so if you are a 1911 guy you don’t have to adapt to shooting a Glock (that will make sense to the people it was inteded for). Loads of fun and easy to grasp the concept of. It’s been a hit among my friends when they come over to play. It’s a lot easier for first time VR users than some of the more elaborate games and I still keep coming back to it for workng on pistol skills. If you are looking for a serious wave shooter or FPS then you’d be better off with Sairento, Onward, or Overkill VR. If you want to shoot targets, I like this over Lethal VR.

I’ll have to downvote this because of the LONGNESS of the first two challenges, either you encourage to replay or you make it utterly painful, sheesh.

The characters, the idea and the mystery are pretty decent tho.

The game is a series of puzzles followed by character dialogue until the ending which is something else. Any mistake during the puzzle section is fatal for one character who is then permanently absent for the rest of that playthrough. Every dialogue segment is unique for every combination of surviving characters.

I have mixed feelings about the puzzles. I liked them on my first playthrough, but they do not have any replay value and you will likely have to replay them multiple times to unlock extra story content. My favorite part of the game is the dialogue which feels intriguingly offbeat. I also just love the survival-puzzle game idea which I haven’t seen before.

This is a very impressive game that is more an atmosphere game than anything else. Simply A+++. Runs very smoothly and I played several times to fully experience this amazing game. Its free to play so why not play it?

When I saw this game appear on Steam, a long forgotten memory came back to me! This is actually my very fist video game! I remember when my parents bought me my first PC, this “new game” was delivered with the PC. I didn’t like it because it was too difficult (for a 9 year old). The cutscenes are excellent, beautiful cartoony style, but the gameplay itself is a very bland railshooter … which is fine, I guess … but if you don’t care to play this game (which is a challenge if approached without nostalgia glasses), then just watch the cutscenes on YouTube. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2536351711

Good potential. While now you can only play the prologue, the mechanics are simple to grasp, and I feel like there’s good potential in this indie game for speedrunning. Will watch closely!

This game is really cool! Simple and easy to understand, you can just jump into it without any fuss. The animation is delightful and utterly spooky at times. A sweet story of love and rescue is punctuated by perfectly matching music and it appears that more content is on the way in the future. I played it a couple of times and would eagerly revisit for new content.

I purposefully look out for weird, obscure games full of personality, so I’m not the best judge, but personally I’m in love with this game’s weirdness. If you want new, never done before or after gameplay concepts, give this a shot. If you aren’t one for something new, or just can’t get past its weirdness, I’d say pass.

I had a problem when using the gamepad, so I requested a refund for the game. I got it because of the nostagia since this was one of the titles for the Atari Jaguar. I never played it, so I wanted the experience.

However, it runs in DOSbox emulator, and i found it pretty expensive for what it is.
