That’s when your store is visited by not one, not two, but SIX Santa Clauses. It’s simply TOO MANY SANTAS! Can you watch all of them and run the store at the same time? Or will you be caught up in the sweet Santa romance?

Too Many Santas! The short visual novel where YOU get to date Santa Claus! And Santa Claus, and Santa Claus, and Santa Claus…

Saintly Santa. With his Bible and Baby Jesus stockings, Saintly Santa wants the holidays to be HOLY days! He’s having a bit of an identity crisis in his new surroundings. Is he the answer to your prayers?

Sleepy Santa. This Santa is pretty tired, but who cares? His beard is AMAZING! You could watch it all day long. If he needs a nap that badly, he can be YOUR cuddle buddy…

Sassy Santa. Hey, who let this guy in here? Sassy Santa is always ready to dish out insults and put-downs to everyone who comes by. Can you rein in his sharp tongue, before he scares away all your customers?

Sad Santa. Poor Santa is sad, and you’re determined to figure out why. Everyone should be happy at Christmas! Maybe your love will be enough to cure Santa of the holiday blues?

Secret Santa. Part spy, part jolly old elf, Secret Santa is all business. He’s extremely busy on an important mission, but he refuses to tell you what it is. Will you be the one to crack his secrets?

Division of Labour

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!

Chef: A Restaurant Tycoon Game

Chef: A Restaurant Tycoon Game

This game is quite entertaining if your into the idea of managing a restaurant. Keep in mind, when I mention the negatives, that this game is still being worked on and not even at version 1 yet. I find that the game has a bit of charm and every update addresses something that I feel the game is missing. At first the game seems to progress quickly, giving you lots of skill points and new missions rather quickly, this really helps get you into the game, as there are some tedious issues when your just starting out. At first, you’ve got a lot to do before you can open your restaurant and, as mentioned, that can make the start seem a little slow going and dull. Also, the flow of the game might take some getting used to in order to start making a profit, but it shouldn’t take too long to get the hang of it.

No, not yet. I wouldn’t recommend this to a friend until it delivered more on the depth of creating a successful Menu. For me that’s really the attractive and interesting part of playing this game which separates it from any other kind of similar simulator. That turned out to be a much shallower pool than what I had hoped to find in the game as I progressed.

The system in place for the way that you create a menu item I don’t like at all. You essentially have a talent tree system with points you spend on from XP gained during your shift. each tier such as Starter, Main, Dessert, etc has its own branch in the talent tree to spend your points in. to unlock new recipes to customise you spend your points here to unlock templates that you can customise. The game gives you a lose definition of the dish; it must contain X percent of your Protein, it must meet X criteria of fat, this many vegetables, this much seasoning. The problem for me is that kills the concept entirely.

Winkeltje: The Little Shop

Winkeltje: The Little Shop

This is a great little shop management game!

I look forward to seeing how it develops over its time in Early Access.

Things done great:

  • The villager AI is spot on! I haven’t had anyone get stuck in my store. I also like how the expectations of the customers seems to align with the items your store offers over time. I was worried when I moved away from produce toward a tailor that customers would’t get the picture, but after a couple of days they stopped hounding me for apples!

This game is a gem, plain and simple. It’s made for a very narrow spectrum of gamers though, you’ll probably know if it’s for you by just looking at the screenshots and reading the description, but I encourage everyone who is even a little intrigued or who enjoys relaxing sandbox style games to give this game a shot. Everything you see and read about it is what you’ll get when you buy this game. Nothing more, nothing less. If you bought this game and don’t like it, it’s because you didn’t pay attention or had unfounded and unrealistic expectations.

NBA 2K20

NBA 2K20

This is not a gameplay review. I’m gonna try to be as brief as possible.I am a LONG time basketball game player, actually since these things exist. I’ve seen everything. Yet, i’ve never seen anything like Nba 2k. On one hand you’ve got a solid base game with an enormous amount of content and potential. The gameplay is actually the most solid it’s been in years, even the story in my career is by far the least cringey i’ve ever seen. The graphics could though really use a new engine, as this one’s been showing signs of old age for quite some time. But on the other hand, you’ve got a publisher who literally doesn’t give a single f$%### about the users. The game is riddled with bugs that have been there for years and haven’t gotten addressed, they’re still the single most greedy gaming publisher in the world with the pay to play mechanics of the Virtual currency, but THE ABSOLUTELY WORST part of it all….

Fuck this game. Don’t give 2K your money until they learn to respect their customers.

1. The servers suck. Not only is it hard to sometimes find other players, but even when you do connect the delay is very noticeable, and in a game where timing is key, it makes it unplayable at times.

2. Matchmaking is bad. You either play against someone who’ll mercilessly crush you, or someone who just booted up the game for the first time. It’s rare when you’ll actually compete with someone at your level.

Timeflow – Time & Money Sim

Timeflow – Time & Money Sim

TL;DR

9/10: The greatest board game ever? Will gladly go many laps around the board trying not to lose money and waste time before I make money and perfectly manage time… Even if many of the achievements appear to be bugged and the English grammar and syntax give the game an unprofessional feel. Thank you for the important life lessons in time management.

Overview

Hooray for this being ol' Il Pallino’s 100’th. review! Take the best features of money-making board games and remove the attrition-based nature of Monopoly, and add-in some great concepts that couldn’t be worked out in a physical board game, and you have Timeflow. The objective is to work towards one of many types of ambitions while using a pre-made character with all sorts of strengths and weaknesses. (Or custom-made character if one chooses.) One to four players may play, and the player who achieves their ambition first is the winner. Time is everything! without enough time on their hands, players cannot start new businesses or get some education, and if a player doesn’t have enough time at the end of the month, the player has to pay a financial penalty proportionate to the income that they earn.

It’s like the adult version of the Game of Life. Played for hours on normal version yesterday. I have to say while it’s in it’s early stages, it’s a pretty well thought out game. I do think there could be more random instances, but it kept my attention for hours. I am still working on buying that dream home.

Now I am less inclined to enjoy the stocks, it seemed for a long time they never got high enough and then when I was finally interested in really buying and selling most of them were way too out of reach and never came back down. Perhaps it’s realistic. It would be real interesting if you could make character changes as lifes ups and downs come at them. I am surprised there isn’t a Win the Lotto or play the lottery option.

Yerba Mate Tycoon

Yerba Mate Tycoon

Overall 7/10 at the current price. I look forward to seeing where this game goes.

This game has potential, but it seems early in development. The core game mechanic revolves around creating yerba mate blends, and functions similar to Game Dev Tycoon. Each production cycle you chose some options and try to find the right mix for the market. The products sell on the market for 8 months and either increase or decrease in sales based upon marketing and how well the market appreciates the current product. There are sliders where you adjust variables within each production cycle like taste, appearance, and aroma. There is some research that unlocks some additional options to add a bit more depth.

It was either this or two Guaymallén Alfajores.

First off, I want to say that I really appreciate the developer making a game as niche as this. I never thought tycoon games would get as specific as focusing on a South American drink that’s relatively obscure outside the continent save for a few countries. It’s really clear that this was a passion project and that the dev really put time and care into Yerba mate Tycoon and genuinely likes working on it.

The gameplay is very similar to Game Dev Tycoon in some aspects, but it introduces new gameplay aspects as well. The first ones that come to mind are the abilities to purchase rival companies and the fact that the process for making your Mate is more in depth than making your game in Game Dev Tycoon. The soundtrack is pretty upbeat, it’s not the highlight of the game, but it adds enough so that the game doesn’t get too boring.

Planet Hotpot

Planet Hotpot

Still very rough around the edges, I believe in the next few months there’ll be a lot of improvements in the interface and depth of the game. For now, it plays smooth and has a well-defined gameplay loop (kill aliens, get powerups, kill aliens better).

I do recommend this game, but make no mistake this IS very early access at the moment so best not to go in expecting a complete game.

Real player with 8.4 hrs in game

Now and again you come across an indie game that is so bad, so terribly made that it goes through the arse end of “terrible” and comes out being fun to play. ‘Planet Hotpot’ is one of those games. From the terrible controls to the basic graphics and truly laughable enemies, but it is mad as a box of frogs to play but oddly is so bad it becomes fun! The enemies fly around and glitch out as if they are supposed to do so and the action is relentless. But there seems to be no point to the game other than surviving as long as you can! At least it only costs a few quid and I am not quite sure why I even want to recommend this game, but I am. Maybe I have become so immune to the crap VR games Steam pumps out that I have finally lost my mind.
