Darkestville Castle
This game was so much fun and I’ve found a new universe and lore that I enjoy!
It is a point and click game with great humor, abiet extremely dark humor. Some small memes and easter eggs too scattered throughout. It’s not exactly a kids game, due to some language and subject matter, but it’s not too extreme either. It heavily reminds me of the old Monkey Island point and click games, which is a good thing as those are classics.
I got it on sale for about $10, I don’t think I’d pay the full price for the game, as it’s lacking in some parts but for my $10 I was extremely statisfied with what I had. I got about 8 hours out of the game, but as with most point and click games I get stuck/just wanna experince the story so I started to use a guide. Some of the items to me feel like you wouldn’t even think about trying them, so I guess if you had time on your hands and randomly trying to click on everything you’d get longer than 8 hours out of the game, but still 8 hours is pretty long for a point and click game. Or maybe if you’re smarter than me you’ll get it done faster. There’s also alternate dioulague options which extend gameplay if you want to go back and try all of the options and not just click on the obvious ones relevant to the plot.

TL;DR
Darkestville Castle is a solid, albeit short and relatively easy, 2D point-and-click adventure game in the style of the 90’s classics like Day of the Tentacle and Curse of Monkey Island. Smooth gameplay and lots of campy humor provide a nice “in-between” snack for fans of the genre, although at full price, roughly 7-8 hours of gameplay and little replay value might be too little value-for-money for some.
Summary
The game puts you in the shoes of Cid, the demon of Darkestville, on a quest to defeat his arch nemesis, Dan Teapot. The game is divided into a prelude, three chapters (four if you count the final scene of the game) and two interludes, which will take you from Darkestville Castle to the town of Darkestville, and eventually to Hell. Along the way, you’ll encounter between roughly 30 to 40 NPC’s, somehow involved in the various puzzles the game offers, and pretty much all of them with extensive (and often funny) dialogues.

So many unsuspected additions to the launch on Steam and I love it, amazing launch
This game still blows me away, I missed it a lot. Played it years ago as a kid on my old PC with the original cd that I still have buried around somewhere. Even got a digital copy on my Xbox 360
I’ve got a lot of love for this game, the soundtrack, just everything
The game plays well and looks just as good if not a little better than it did, supports my resolution just fine as well

Prepare yourself Punchbowl
Stubbs the Zombie was one of those games that I always wanted to play but never had the opportunity to. When it was on original consoles I didn’t have them. When it launched on steam it wasn’t on my radar due to overall negative reception. For a while there you couldn’t play this one unless you either emulated it, or shelled out hundreds for a copy. With the re-release I finally got a chance to play this game after fifteen years. The game is not without flaws and I’ll get into those below, but there is still a phenomenal feeling of playing a game that felt like a missed experience in your life.

Great take on the original, but could be much better
I played the original game when it first came out. I still remember playing it as a teenager. I loved that game, I played it so many times across many years.
Even after uninstalling, if I come across it again I will play it again. That’s how good it was. It was funny, it was logical, it was quirky, it had mod support and overall entertaining.
When Evil Genius 2 came out, I was super excited to play it again as I thought it would be much better than the original but it was missing a few vital quirks that would’ve made it better.

Cooking Witch
If you’ve ever wanted the witch from Hansel and Gretel to get revenge, now’s your chance!
It’s not very often that I achieve every achievement that a game has in the first sitting. As much as I would like to its almost impossible. However, when I sat down to play VaragtP’s new release, Cooking Witch, I soon found myself hooked on its simplistic yet addictive gameplay.
The premise of the game is simple. You play the role of a witch. There’s a party going down in the woods. Your objective is to abduct children from said party and to drop them into your nearby cauldron. When you do so you get their meat to eat as well as hearts (health) and stars. It’s as straightforward as it sounds.

Skeletal Dance Party
This masterpiece has the single-most terrifying spell in any game I have ever played.
You and your friends take up arms against the sudden, new menace that has already exterminated half of your village. A necromancer - a single necromancer - has seized the ample supply of your ancestors in the catacombs and raised an army of abominations. Your squad takes patrol in the hall of chieftans, where your chief, and his chief before him, and his chief before him, they all rest, having lived valiant lives. The rhythmic rattling of the wretched rawboned ruffians relates your irresistable restless repose. The undead army clatters around the corner and without hesitation or coordination, impales your only companion upon dozens of spears and swords, each stolen from what were once your countrymen.

Pumpkin Jack
This one doesn’t necessarily stand at the same level as other modern competitors like A Hat in Time (play it if you haven’t), but it deserves props for its sort of overwhelming, frenetic action sequences and solid color design throughout. Some areas of the game are really nice to hang out in. The music is well done too.
If I had to rate it numerically I’d say it’s around a 6.5-7.5/10. The points I’m docking it are mostly for the missed opportunities that would’ve really pushed this one over the edge. Namely, exploring more in the way of creative platforming gameplay, and less in the way of the required mini-games to advance each section (not all of which were bad, but certainly weren’t as fun the second, or sometimes third times around)

Catlateral Damage
I have found this game to be simple, but very addicting. You cause destruction as one of several different cats, most of which you have to unlock through gameplay.
You can play in two modes, objective mode and “litterbox” mode. Objective mode is where you are given a set of objectives to complete. You do this by knocking down or destroying the indicated items. You have a time limit in which to complete the objectives. You get bonuses for certain items, as indicated in your objectives. If you complete your objectives, you get to move on to another level, up to four levels. There are special items you can knock down to unlock bonus levels which are added in to your four basic levels.

My paw swipes a dinner plate off the table and I peek over the edge to watch it shatter to pieces on the floor below. The humans will pay for keeping me cooped up all day!
Catlateral Damage is a new game where you play as a bored cat wreaking havoc on the everyday objects inside the house. We all know kitten thinks of nothing but murder all day so this game is a realistic simulation of what it’s like to be a cat running around the house making mischief and taking care of cat business - knocking down items on shelves and tables, opening doors, hiding in boxes and tunnels, crawling above and behind everything and making a huge mess while you’re at it.

I, Zombie
Follow our Curator Group for more reviews
I, Zombie is a puzzle game with some occasional stealth elements. It plays a lot like a web game, with clear inspiration drawn from games like Infectonator.
The basic mechanics of each puzzle require you to either turn everyone into a zombie, or turn a specific character into a zombie. You accomplish these tasks in two different ways. For the levels where you have to infect everyone, you will generally try to sneak up on easy targets to help build up your zombie army, before taking on the more difficult targets. There are a variety of tactics you can use, although you will quickly figure out the best strategies. You have loose control over your zombie army, but nothing like an RTS game would have. The second type of level, where you need to infect one specific person, has much harder enemies so you can’t just build up an army to win. These are essentially stealth levels, where getting shot once usually means death. They aren’t terrible, but the are definitely less fun than the normal levels. Some of them are frustratingly designed, requiring you to have almost perfect timing, but in general they are okay.

This is pretty decent little action puzzle game, albeit with not much in the way of replayability beyond redoing the levels until you find the way to keep all your zombie minions alive on each level.
The gameplay is pretty simple - you start off a lone zombie who has to infect everyone in the level (with a couple of exceptions where you have to dodge the patrolling guards and just munch on the scientist at the end, and one case where you start off with a single turned zombie on the opposite side of the map with yourself trapped and unable to move), and each level basically you have to work out which groups of civilians or soldiers you should attack in what order, and with what timing on their patrol route in order to avoid getting your brains blasted out before you get to them. Early levels are pretty straightforward, the later levels tend to require a bit more planning of where to go and when, plus along the way there are a few tips and tricks you can pick up of how to manage your fellow zombies.
