Dream of Tomorrow

Dream of Tomorrow

Accompany Lena, a young creative student on her adventure – solve tricky puzzles, experience funny situations and confront mean bullies!

Hardly a day goes by where Lena is not bullied in some way. Why? Because she is not like the others. She is a sensitive, creative and helpful person who is not interested in things like trends and fashion. Since she is being raised by her grandparents, those topics are not really important in her everyday life. This is one of the reasons why she is the target of a group of bullies who constantly harass her.

Extremely beautiful and emotional story. I loved the unique art style and game play. Played it twice and left me crying for hours after each run through - would definitely recommend. Absolutely worth the money and time.

Aurora: A Child’s Journey

Aurora: A Child’s Journey

Aurora: A Child’s Journey is well done. There are a few areas where the game tried to glitch and the controls can be sometimes clunky, but besides that, it was simple and straight to the point. It was nice to play from the perspective of a young child and also an interesting concept of how they see things that are well…not pretty in this world. It can be sad to learn that the game was inspired by true events but also eye-opening to situations that many may not know. The achievements are easily earned as you play through the game and not as complex as the game is very short. Take a chance if you want to see the world in the young girl’s eyes and maybe you will learn something along the way.

This game is a great reminder to take time to enjoy your life and the people around you. I didn’t play tennis in high school, but I found the characters and story to be very relatable. I was also able to finish the game in one playthrough which was refreshing since I have limited time to game. I hope to see more games that provide stories from a unique perspective. And it’s FREE!!! Thanks Gersh Games LLC!

What Comes After

What Comes After

What Comes After is a short and touching side-scrolling visual novel which succeeds in sending an impactful message through only a few words. It’s a reminder that the lives of each and every one of us matters, be that of a human, of an animal or of a plant. It gives a soft nudge towards understanding that we can make life better by being kind, compassionate and considerate towards each other, and that changing the world starts by changing yourself, by bettering yourself.

I tried to play this game on stream for my community, but I admit that I was only able to get through about 20 minutes before deciding it was a game to play offline for myself. I’m glad that I decided to play it offline because I felt that it was an intimate, emotional journey that I need to go at my own pace.

I will stress that is an emotional journey, and could potentially be triggering depending on your head-space - the game deals with a lot of heavy topics such as mental health (depression, anxiety, etc.), deaths (or near death experiences), and the meaning of life. Conversations were difficult at time, but I think that it was worth pushing through to see the final message.

Great puzzle design.

Great character design.

Great background sound.

The story are really smooth and catches people’s hearts immediately but meanwhile it is pretty sad atmosphere around.

Most puzzles need a lot of work to solve but not too hard so people get stuck for ever.

Strong Recommend

Don’t pay full price for such a short game.

Ending was predictable and very unsatisfying without an alternative.

Doesn’t save properly and hint system is tedious.

Overall very disappointing compared to the unique gameplay concept.

Duru – About Mole Rats and Depression

Duru – About Mole Rats and Depression

Tuli leads a simple life in the mole rat colony: she collects food, meets with her friends and paints the best pictures in the colony. All the while nobody but her sees the dark creature that makes each of those activities a near unbeatable task.

Duru is a 2D puzzle adventure about mole rats and depression. It shows how we all can help people affected by this illness.

Set in a West-African inspired mole rat colony you play Tuli, one of the gatherers of the colony. One day everything becomes harder as Bel, an AI companion and the personification of Tuli’s growing depression, joins the party.

While running, jumping and painting your way through the tunnels surrounding the colony you have to find a way to deal with Bel and its manipulative behaviour. Your constant companion moves objects you painted around, eats them and holds you back in which ever way possible. Learn to use Bels behaviour in a way that lets you progress.

In the mole rat colony that Tuli calls her home her friends notice that she’s acting strange. She’s less talkative, is always late and seems not interested at all in hanging out with them. Some of them get tired of her tardiness…

You can always see how Bel twists Tuli’s thoughts, how it makes her not feel worth being friends with. Through exploring the mole rat colony and interaction with the other characters you can find out which behaviours are helpful to Tuli and which just make Bel grow.

Follow the story of Tuli – a story about the struggle with insecurities, depression and friendship, told in a colorful, accessible way.

What awaits you:

  • a puzzle adventure in a colorful, West African-inspired setting

  • a story about depression told through animation and picture dialog to enjoy regardless of language

  • an AI companion that works with and against you

  • drawing objects to puzzle your way through a lovingly designed world

  • cute characters of the mole rat colony to befriend and uncover their individual stories

A hermit crab is finding a house

A rage inducing puzzle in a good way.

Just 30 levels but I had to restart several of the levels many, many times before I figured out the solutions.

Don’t press Escape to return to the menu - the menu just freezes and you have to kill the game and restart to proceed.
