Monarch of Greed - Act 1
It is one of those “first-person walking” games in which you wander around a completely non-violent experience exploring the environment and unravelling the story.
Monarch Of Greed Act 1 is a game about walking from A to B.
If this does not sound like your type of game, then I would not recommend playing it. However, I enjoyed this game because the atmosphere was captivating.
The game begins with a slow and kind of annoying intro that gives the player a set of answers and responses to choose from that set the stage for the plot and player’s background.

Monarch of greed comes across to me as a hark back to 90’s, the art style, with a bit of anime style thrown in. There is a lot to luv about this game, that in the graphics which are clear and well presented, the controls are simple and easy to learn, but since monarch of greed is more like a walking sim, the controls are not over complicated. You can see Lledgames has gone to a lot of hard work in making this game.
The switching between characters is a nice idea and so is the story, the story moves forward at a even pace, but at one point it leaves you high and dry not helping you out, or even giving you a clue to which way to go.

Bohemian Killing
During my playthrough I think this game is quite promising and is unfair in dumbing the product down based on some rough edges. I reminisce on Depths of Fear :: Knossos and how a really good indie game got really, really harsh criticism just for trying to be different and proposing something new. The game had quite a few updates, but still needs polish IMHO.
This is just one of those games like Facade from 2005 or like The Path that proposes something very different and questions traditional approach to gameplay and mechanics. It offers a different theme to crime and detective stories inversing things making the trial at court the ultimate battle, not just a sidekick.

Brief
This game is amazing. I loved all of it. I would recommend this game at it’s price or on sale definitely as a must-get if you enjoy these styles of games. Even 100%ed the achievements so I could see every ending and know all the details. There are some issues with this game though that I have. Though the bugs I did run into were mostly minor even though they could easily be game breaking. I will keep information about very specific instances minimal due to spoilers.

Burn Me Alive is a pseudo-psychological horror game in the walking simulator game space. Your wife and kid got burnt to toast and were buried in the cemetery, your therapist should have clued you in on, probably wasn’t the best choice for a grieving husband/dad. Throw in a whole bunch of cigs and booze and Satan just starts coming out of ya! Burn Me Alive is almost too stereotypical for a game like this. It sounds like a metal song name or a movie or a book, sadly generic with little impacts.

HEXCRAFT: Harlequin Fair
Haven’t got very far into it yet. As a fan of Oleander Garden’s other games: The Pagan trilogy, and Hexcraft: Eventide Sigil, I can say with certainty that this is exactly what I expected in the best ways. It feels a bit jank, the graphics are muddy and dated, and it is very frustrating dying with very little warning over and over. It’s part of the experience, however. The game is one big immersive-sim-esque puzzle about working out how to get anything done. Leave your morals at the door, rob some people, and acquire black metal shirts to fight off the horrors lurking in dungeons hidden behind shopping malls and alleyways. It’s a lo-fi game for sure, but the experience is well worth the 13 dollars.

Immersively simulate a nightmare. I instigated a gang war in Chinatown so I could plunder tarot cards from those caught in the crossfire. The victims had recited poetry to me moments before. They knew me by name.
Oleander Garden’s work is consistently haunting, enigmatic, beautiful, infuriating. It’s genuinely fun to bang my head against its walls in an attempt to uncover its secrets. I loved this game.
Given how unfairly obscure it is, you’re lucky enough to have stumbled upon this page, so don’t let the opportunity go to waste. Buy it already.

I hope she’s ok
I hope she’s ok is a beautifully crafted little mystery. The story begins as you arrive at your friend’s cabin in Finland after a long journey only to find that she’s unexpectedly not home. You then have to find the clues that help you figure out why she’s missing and where she might be.
Your character uses their phone to take photos and post comments to social media and it’s super fun to walk around and select the best angle for your shot and to read the various comments from your friends.
The game’s setting and scenery are just stunning and the player is quickly lulled into a false sense of serenity and security. The pace is quite relaxed which makes the jump scare moments all the more effective as the suspense and anxiety are slowly cranked up. The attention to detail is amazing and there are lots of cool references that provide interesting insights into Finnish life and culture.

I thought this was one of those indie games where it’s a metaphor for depression or something. Instead,
! I ransacked my friend’s house before punching out a mythical sea creature. A whimsical and humorous little game I’m happy I bought. The social media aspect adds a fun element to the walking simulator and light puzzles.
Pros:
-immersive Nordic setting
-cute art
-social media interaction gives a unique dimension to your explorations
-take beautiful pictures
-learn about Finnish culture

Terminator: Resistance
Games set in Terminator universe are very few and far between. So franchise fans don’t have much choice, if any, and must adjust their standards accordingly. Thankfully, Terminator: Resistance shouldn’t require too much of an adjustment, as it is a competent title in its own right. Now, don’t get your hopes too high yet. This game isn’t a brilliant triple A gem of a title but rather a solid middle of the road tribute.
Terminator: Resistance is mostly carriied by its visuals, atmosphere, story and of course setting. I wouldn’t say that it is easy to recommend based on merit of its gameplay mechanics. It is a Terminator game first and foremost, and a decent one at that. But does it hold its own as just a game, its franchise notwithstanding? In my opinion not.

This game is a nice example for the lack of options between a “thumb up” and a “thumb down”. But since I had over twenty hours of fun while playing it I decided to rate it up.
I like the presentation of the dystopian city of L.A. Even if that means it’s almost complete colored grey. I really were able to dive into the story and I think the game is a nice addition to the movies. Even though you don’t meet characters from the movies with one (very short) exception.
But the game has problems. Not gamebreaking problems or any other noteworthy bugs. No the game itself is just kind of underchallenging. On the lowest difficulty your character is way to overpowered to let you feel like an inferior home defening soldier from the future. You are just the same old badass with sh*tloads of weapons and ammunition like in every other shooter out there. If you play on the highest difficulty you are a little worm getting trampled under the feet of some tin cans. This fits well in this kind of scenario but it also lowers the fun and turns the game into a stealth party with partially just unfair and annoying situations. But I think this is just a matter of taste. For the level design theres no other word than “bad”. Very often its just a bunch of (wide) tubes were you run (or crawl) from A to B and shoot stupid enemies.

Depanneur Nocturne
A lighthearted exploration game where you are browsing a store for a perfect gift, anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes depending on how many achievements you want to hit; however, I want to point out that most of the secrets in this game add a lot to the experience. There are a few hidden areas that you could miss if you decide to end the game prematurely, so I would encourage everyone to fully explore it - pretty much entire game is optional so it’s up to you when you want to finish. It has a little bit of replay value because there are some gifts that you can’t obtain during the same playthrough, but as far as I can tell they just change a few lines of dialogue at the end. Despite the lack of content, I thought it was a very worthwhile experience with enjoyable narrative and beautiful art style, especially all of that world-building artwork on the walls.

Late evening. A street closed off at either end by roadworks. You need to buy a gift but only one shop is still open.
Inside, you’re greeted by a lizard-like and rather stern shopkeeper, Eugenie. She says she’s teasing, but you’re not sure if she means it. It’s under her watchful gaze, and the ever-glaring eye of a CCTV camera that tracks your every move, you begin to browse the shelves.
You quickly realise there isn’t much to browse. The shelves are well-stocked, yes, but there are only a few items to click on. Still, these items provoke your curiosity. Pleasant music plays while you browse, courtesy of a radio which you’re free to retune. There are strange posters on the wall and even complimentary coffee… though my clumsy efforts at making it elicited laughter from me and a gentle rebuke from Eugénie.

Family Man
UPDATE #3:
Finished my fourth (and final) playthrough in record time. It becomes incredibly easy to do once you know all the ins-and-outs of every mission and the best practices for home management. This Angelic run felt the most muddied as the game often demands some negative actions (offset by donating foods) before you can do the ultimate good, so it didn’t feel truly pure. There’s also a lack of punch in the actual conclusion. I very badly wanted to
! confront Mr. Delroy directly, but what I got was a little more hollow.

Played through this game and got one of the four endings. While the game can be entertaining at first, I really cannot recommend that you buy this game. There are multiple reasons for this. The first being the overall quality feeling of the game… The game feels like a half-assed itch.io game. I don’t know if the developers knew what they had in mind when they made the game, but the end product turned out to be a mess. The currency system feels unbalanced, the needs of your family are not difficult enough to make the game challenging, they only require you to do some really basic minigames over and over again to grind the stats, really distracting from the actual game, and very annoying. When I wasn’t trying to keep up with the family needs I just found myself running around the town looking for jobs to do. The jobs were always the same, “talk to this person, then talk to me” “Pick up thing from here and deliver it there”. No variety whatsoever. It just got really really boring.
