Judgement
This game is quite nice somehow, I think it’s okish. If you want some disturbing decisions it’s great and I kinda enjoyed it actually, even though my mind broke in some decisions… like seriously? What the hell is wrong with the Devs to put someone in such situations. Hell no! Still, would buy again, wating for Part 2 now.

The description of this game is honest, and it really shows in the game. ‘Judgement, in its first form, was created when the designer was at the angsty age of 15. The perspectives and themes have their origins in a 15-year old boy trying to tell a story.’, however I think it is dishonest to truly say it has developed beyond that point.
Within this game, story is primarily told to you through various notes, rather expositional diatribes which I certainly could see myself having written when I was 15. However as such, they are abstract or completely separate from what the game is trying to be, which makes them frankly comical because there’s no cohesion - which again, I guess makes the description honest of it being a 15 year old who started the making of it.

Purrfect Apawcalypse: Love at Furst Bite
Purrfect Apawcalypse Love at Furst Bite (palfb) is a short visual novel which focuses mostly on the interactions between the characters.
The game isn’t very long but worth the five bucks or the equivalent amount of other currency.
While the writing isn’t the strongest its fairly decent and kept me entertained during my playthrough.
The interactions between the characters are both cute and sometimes horrifying and at times made me cringe because of what was happening on the screen.
The cute artstyle is one of the games strongest points and while it may not be to everyones tastes it fits the game well, making the games deathscenes (and there’s a lot of them) more shocking.

Going to go right out of the gate and say that this is definitely not your standard kind of game, and if you can’t handle gore - even if it’s cartoonish - then you shouldn’t play the game out of respect for your eyes. However, if you can handle that…
Welcome to Purrfect Apawcalypse! We have:
-
clifford the nonbinary dog
-
suicidal maniac who’s also funny as shit
-
TAKE OFF THE SHIRT
-
bitch who died on a fucking toilet seat (very important, not ironic)
-
witch who will probably step on you (and not apologize (trust me it’s cool ok))

Realm of Night: The Forbidden Knowledge
Yeah no, this is a interesting game sure but i keep getting the bad ending on the train, i really hate games that is this strict on choices that you have to get a perfect score to get a good ending. I hope some ones does a guide at some point but until then i cant recommend this.
The worst thing about this game is the card system.

Deadlands Noir - That Old Time Religion
Sam Spade [Humphrey Bogart ~ Maltese Falcon (1941)] has nothing on Harvey Jenkins when it comes to being a hard boiled private detective. This is ‘Film Noir’ without the film.
Stories are set in 1935 New Orleans, Harvey Jenkins is a man about town who has unlikely friends and makes powerful enemies. But that is what happens when one is a private detective that takes on unusual cases, those of the supernatural kind. He and John Constantine (Vertigo comics Hellblazer/2005 movie) are much alike, one foot in Hell and the other in Heaven.

While I briefly played the Deadlands tabletop RPG back in the 90s - yup, I’m THAT old! - I’ll confess to having never so much as HEARD of this Deadlands Noir phenomenon. Now, considering that Deadlands was more-or-less a transposing of Call of Cthulhu-style antics into a Western (read: cowboy) setting, I’m not quite sure what the purpose of transposing Call of Cthulhu-style antics into a 1930s setting is, considering that that’s precisely when the original Call of Cthulhu RPG was set anyway! BUT…I’m not here to query the existence of a tabletop RPG, I’m here to review a video game/“visual novel” set in that universe. So get awn wit' it, already!

Lilith Was Dead
First off. I would like to share my experiences with prior visual novels. Such as Doki-Doki Literature club, Hoonie Pop, and the fate series which while I have not played, I am a huge fan of the story line and overall game play format. Regardless, you do not need experience with visual novels to enjoy this game. Very quick and enjoyable game and the music fits extremely well with the overall atmosphere increasing the impact of moments in the story. The story itself has a very…exciting twist and for the first project Heat Waves Games has developed I am excited to see what the next and the route they take and hopefully add some black people in their next game. I really enjoyed the voice acting as well and cant wait for what comes next.

A short about one hourish visual novel murder mystery. It was simple but I liked it. It entertained me while I played.

CURSED NIGHT - The House
It is a really good game, tbh it is a jumpscare game literally, i liked it.
However, if i can get some help with it because apparently I got stock here: (Spoiler alert)
! Right after I got the fourth baby toy cube/block, I know i have to spell the word DEVIL, I was missing the letter L, I was also missing the orange Key and 3 other pink fuses…
So I was wondering if i can get some help?
Update
Well, after I completed the game I can say it is a really good game, puzzles, jumpscares, nice environment, graphics are just amazing (I played on a 3070 Ultra settings).

I’m giving this a neutral recommendation. While I did enjoy this game, I do think it is way overpriced for what it is. It took me approximately an hour to beat this game and the production values here just don’t justify the current $14.99 USD price tag.
So this is a campy, B horror, type game that does rely on jump scares. However, I thought the jump scares were done right in this game. What I mean by that is that they were paced correctly, made sense in the context of the game, and added the right amount of atmosphere while trying to find a way out of this house.

Rescue Operation
For the price I paid for this game? it is SO worth it!!
It’s a bit of a throwback to the days of Far Cry and FEAR… both of those wrapped up into one. It has elements that obviously feel like an indie game but that’s not always a bad thing :) It is on rails… yes… no open world. It uses health kits only for healing like in the days of Quake and Quake II. But the atmosphere is oppressive… the level design may not be quite to the level of “inspired” but it’s very creative and not at all repetitive. The music is excellent! Definitely sets the mood. The game was obviously written by not English speaking coders but the story is pretty much the same as usual… “we need you to go into the secret base and find out what happened.” Not important. Lots of different guns, and all feel VERY real with good animation and very realistic sound effects. The enemies are challenging without being bullet sponges… the game chooses tactics and execution over raw power or pre-scripted “run around and click all the switches” boss fights and I very much appreciate that.

Resque Operation
Positives:
-
its short
-
some parts are ok
-
the sound and atmosphere is okay
Negatives:
-
bad graphics and view distance
-
extremely slow movement
-
you cant run and shoot at the same time
-
a lot of bugs, some almost game breaking
-
jumping height is to low and buggy
-
the monsters are bad
-
the last level is too hard
I didnt have the greatest expectations, even though a lot of people was positive to this game.
Unfortunately I have to say, it wasnt any good.
Sure the idea is okay, and some elements work.
