Solar Echoes: The Star Legation
STORY
Soon after the alien races began to explore outside their own star systems, they discovered each other. Hostilities grew into skirmishes and eventually, wars. However, some still desired peace. We’ve been taught that the Interstellar Union was formed in the year 1,023 LN. And we’ve been told of the human, Trey Donovan, who led the peace legation to unite everyone across the stars.
Details beyond that are varied and embellished, but we do have records of Trey’s past. This man, now considered a legend, was no diplomat. He grew up in entirely human-centric surroundings and had never ventured beyond human territories. He was banished to an exile colony after a dishonorable discharge from the military. He received no training for the peace legation that he supposedly led. Trey’s only known redeeming quality was his leadership and success in bringing law to a planet overrun with criminals.
How did this man travel to alien worlds and speak before powerful leaders? How was this human able to convince those alien leaders to send a representative with him to join the Interstellar Union? How did he survive the dangerous journey through space among an alien crew, several which were technically still at war with each other? There are still many unanswered questions about Trey Donovan and his journey across the universe. What really happened aboard that starship?

I’m just starting arc 5 i think and wow has it been a cool ride so far. i googled it and apparently on any given play through you only read 150,000 of a total 600,000 words which leads me to believe that these choices that seem like they really change whats going on, really do. Which also inspires anxiety but hey that’s all in the fun of making serious choices. so far solid 8/10 8.5 because canada eh

Sin-Cay
This game seems like something straight out of a course or class on Unreal Engine. The menu reminds me of a retro X-com game and the blank white starting screen in the beginning made me think the game was broken. There are too many complaints I have about this game that I cannot recommend it in its current state.
Starting out, you are just dropped into a dark cave with terrible lighting issues. So avoid if you have aversions to blinking lights. Any enemies that aggro on you growl a terribly leveled voice that’s overpowering all other noises despite distancing. They take nothing to kill and even the over-sized replicas of the same enemies take minimal bullets. The bullets are infinite. You can heal yourself infinitely and hurt yourself… why? Only useful in the event of getting stuck? Depending on where you lookin the first level, the game tries to use some kind of realistic lighting but it’s not well implemented and everything goes invisibly dark. After beating the first level, you are dropped into another place with no context and you and your character have no idea who you are or what you are doing or the direction you should go. It’s a project (as seen in task manager as the file name) vastly needing improvement, clearer direction and purpose. The only puzzle I solved was shooting some explosive barrels. It could be fun with the diversity of locations and portals to new areas, but there needs to be more direction, world building, and context. It just feels like you tried new meshes and textures in each specific setting. Maxed out my 3070 on epic settings unnecessarily. The settings menu is limited, you can’t even control audio. Nah.

HRO: Adventures of a Humanoid Resources Officer
HRO: Adventures of a Humanoid Resources Officer is a puzzle-driven visual novel set in a retro-futuristic sci-fi universe. You play the underappreciated Humanoid Resources Officer aboard the Endeavor — a military spaceship with more than its fair share of crew rivalries, office politics, and erratic decision-makers. When the Endeavor stumbles into universe-shaking trouble, can you harness the power of the bureaucracy to rein in your crew’s worst impulses and survive to the next episode?
As disaster looms, you – the HRO – interact with key characters to investigate the crisis, identify possible responses and implement your preferred paper-pusher solution. Will your conversation with the criminally-insane physicist who has seized control of the ship inspire you to fake your own resignation so you can infiltrate his cult? Or, when surrounded by bloodthirsty Kirmulak warships, will you choose to transmit the stolen enemy command codes to disable their vessels and allow the Endeavor to escape? Save the day! Be the hero! The levers of administrative power – and the consequences of using them – are yours…
Game features include:
• Branching storylines shaped by player choices
• UI puzzles offer multiple paths through the story
• Unlockable mini-episodes and characters
• Vividly imagined retro sci-fi universe
• Original, adaptive musical soundtrack
• Thousands of choices make HRO eminently replayable
Playing God
Didnt work htc vr vive. Waited a long time to see if it would launch over 10 minutes nothing ever happened. I restarted it waited 5 minutes a few times and gave up assumed it didn’t work on first release day.
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS:
1. The start up screen is on PC ONLY NOT THE HTC VIVE so can’t see it at all looks broke to HTC VIVE user like myself – WE DON"T HAVE PC SCREEN every game I launched it FROM INSIDE VR so I had been claiming the GAME was broken for first REVIEW since I waiting for a screen in VR that never would come because you have a PC DISPLAY only question to start in VR… This made me pissed off more than anything with game.

Playing God is a free VR experience, It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, sounded ok, played ok, was understandable. Tried two runs with different decisions, and saw some different endings. One of those No Win Scenario tests. At the end, it gives you a breakdown of your decisions and the percentage of people choosing them.
Try this, if you like thoughtful experiences.

Dracula VS The Ninja On The Moon
Dodgy bootleg VHS style interactive FMV were you try to fix the tracking on your VCR to see what happens next in this outrageously silly movie about vampires and ninjas on the moon!
– Real player with 4.0 hrs in game
The introduction feels like you’ll be there to see your first born live and die it takes so long. Most importantly though, the game’s main mechanic, the “tracking” is outright broken. Pressing either side does nothing no matter how many times you press, and when a new scene comes it’ll be clear suddenly for no apparent reason.

Orion Trail
I have left the original review below. As the game has now been released, this is what I now think of it:
It’s really good!
All the extra content added since I last played it (life has been busy, so over a month ago!) really shows. The game is far better balanced, more polished, and it feels complete. The devs are still on top of things, making changes based on feedback, which is an extra point in my book. I am especially loving the added random encounters, which really add flavour to the game.
– Real player with 9.7 hrs in game
This game is a riot. I was unsure about it at first due to the early negative reviews, but some of the more recent positive ones indicate that the developers are taking public criticism and suggestions to heart and improving the game. So, I decided to buy it and I’m sure glad I did.
The game is very Oregon Trail meets Star Trek, minus the educational aspects OT and with lots of humor that (at times) pokes fun at ST. Basically, you fly through space as the captain of a ship, exploring the galaxy and encountering lots of interesting challenges. Unlike some space games that are mostly combat, Orion Trail is more of an adventure game and the challenges you face can be anything from problems with your ship and crew to encounters with other ships and space born life to planets that need exploring. The randomness and variety of encounters and ways you can try to deal with them add to the fun and replay value. The writing is very clever and funny and is full of hilarious Sci Fi inspired things. There are a few typos, but nothing too bad.

Woodsalt
I’m a fan of adventure games, and this didn’t disappoint me. Intriguing storyline and fun graphics. The mid section of the game allows you to explore and interact with the world on a daily timeline with new things to discover each day. I found this engrossing, getting to know the characters, the environments, and the challenges the society was facing. However, if your goal is primarily to complete a game quickly you would probably find this frustrating. The pace and excitement picked up in the latter stages as you closed in on whatever ending you gameplay had led you to. I spent 9 hours absorbed in the game from start to finish, and am now looking forward to starting afresh to see how different decisions will change the ending.

Target Audience: Those really open-minded with imagination and looking to help a small developer
Summary:
I’m not going to beat around the bush: Woodsalt has major structural problems from a story perspective, leading to a very uneven experience that unfortunately does not live up to its high price of admission. The sci-fi story does have a few characters that do an alright job of making you relate with them in the side stories, but an inconsistency in what time is spent with what characters and how they impact the main story ends up really making it suffer. Certain events don’t make sense in the big picture of the story, and it doesn’t help that the nature of the game’s one side versus another and playing both sides as being possibly right has a glaring weak spot that destroys that idea toward the mid-end of the game. Again though, it’s the inconsistencies of the events of the main plot that feel like they have big chunks missing that really makes the game’s story suffer here. You just don’t believe what’s happening in front of you, even with the sci-fi nature of the game. The characters, especially those like Gi, just make you wonder if conflicts were inserted for the sake of conflicts being needed.
