NORR part II: Will Walker
Start game, all text in russian. Had to check youtube how to change it. Game looks nice but the gameplay is bad. It’s a fast paced game but it stops every time to show a slomo kill shot or some stupid bad guy dialogue. And then you die because you get shot.

Unto The End
I want to start of by saying that I have now beat this game 3 times. This game is truly a 9/10 for me as a standalone game. Does this mean this game is perfect? No. Does it mean it’s for everyone? No.
First: the not so good of this game. Initially, the combat in the game feels clunky. It’s quite difficult to learn early on, and the first play through can be VERY frustrating at times. Once the combat is learned well, it feels very satisfying though, but it never gets easier. There are no tutorials in game except for the “sparing area” which can be accessed from any fire. Though this helps with the basics, I wish there were a few more advanced techniques gone over. Another con for the game is the apparent random damage amount a player takes from enemies. It feels like sometimes you’re really hardy, and other times you’re a piece of over ripe fruit. Initially this can be frustrating, and apparently illogical, but after DM’ing 2TON about this in the game, I was told that damage variance comes from the current position of vulnerability the character is in. For example: if you are rolling when you are hit, you take 2 or 3 times the damage than if you are in a guarded position. As a design decision, I think that this makes sense for the type of game this is, but I would like to have maybe seen at least a mention of this in the “sparing area”. Last con for this game is that in some areas visibility of the character is frustratingly difficult where you need to interact with something because of placement of a rock or something.

Death is inevitable
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Unto The End (UTE) is a cinematic platformer that like several other indies rakes in uniqueness and originality. The main focus is the challenging combat that has excellent nuance. It doesn’t have much of a setup nor does it try and hold your hand at all. I should also address the storyline or rather, lack thereof. All that is shown is a Father leaves his family to presumably go on a hunting expedition. Of course, it isn’t long before he gets into trouble and players must aid him through an unrelenting frozen wasteland to return to his home.

VACUULUS
FEAR. THE. VACUUM. MAN.
Vacuulus is a survival-horror game, but without blood/gore or macabre elements. You play as a young boy known for being a slob, waken in the middle of the night by a legendary monster known as the Vacuum Man (or Vacuulus). According to legend, you must clean your house to vanquish him, but while remaining unseen. For if it sees you, it will take you away.
The game is in first person perspective with a heavy emphasis on sneaking, with features such as full body awareness, a dynamic music system, and 3D cinematics with fully animated characters as well as 2D animated sequences, with voice acting and its own bone-chilling soundtrack to boot.
Petremay
Petremay [pronounced: Peter May] is a new upcoming stylized First Person Shooter game developed by Spekktrum Studio based around the use of magic and abilities and how to use them against your enemies. There is no currently planned release date.
Story
The year is 2026, in an alternate version of our world where magic exists and is considered a normal occurrence in society. Petremay takes place in Mirem, a fictional town located in the state of Michigan within the United States. You play as Vivian Jace, a police recruit going out onto the field for the first time. You are quickly told by Erika Redd, Mirem’s head police detective and your boss, that a cult from the 90s that was thought to be dead has come back. It is now your job to stop the cult before they take over the town using whatever means necessary.
Vivian quickly discovers that she’s part of the group of people who can utilize Magic, unlike most of her friends or family who have no magic genes. Using her newfound abilities, what she once thought was an impossible feat is now possible using her powers.
Depending on your decisions, the game will have multiple routes and endings that you can go through. Will you be the heroic savior of the town? Or will you join the cult and became a powerful force of evil that is not to be reckoned with?
Gameplay
Petremay is a game completely based around the use of magic and abilities. Along with normal shooter game mechanics, you will also be able to collect various powers and abilities to add to your arsenal in the game. You will be able to go invisible to avoid detection by enemies, see through walls to see exactly where the enemies are located, or you may even be able to freeze or slow down time entirely, and even then there’s still a vast amount of many more abilities to unlock throughout the game!
Petremay is also a game about choices. You can chose to go down the typical linear story laid out for you - or you can branch off into your own path. There will be at least 2 major endings to the game - you can either help the police to save the town and return it back to the safe place that it once was, or you can join the cultists and become a dictator who terrorizes citizens in the town. Every decision you make in the game will count!
Community
At Spekktrum, we also believe in a strong sense of community. We love interacting with others inside the gaming community and we would love to see what you think of our games and what ideas or fan content you have for the game! Feel free to reach out to any of us at any time!

Systematic Insanity
This is not a game.
If you cannot speed read do NOT buy this!!!!
This is a basic “modern media” project that would be regularly seen in the late 1980’s to the early 2000’s as a “media arts” project requirement in North American universities.
That being said it is visually well done.
however:
a) all interaction is disabled entirely except during “dating game” style dialogues.
this is a major issue since the speed of the dialogues is far to high so even a person like me that can absorb the entire LOTR + The Hobbit in under 25 hours of reading still misses nearly 1/4 of the dialogue

THE QUIET MAN™
I honestly didn’t think there would be a game that I’d hate more than Crying is not Enough , but The Quiet Man did it. It broke me. It broke me as a gamer and as a human being. I just…I can’t even understand how a game this bad got made. Who greenlit this? How did thousands of dollars get poured into something so incredibly insulting to deaf people and gamers alike? Almost every single design decision that went into this absolute dumpster fire of a brawler was BAD. There’s absolutely nothing redeeming about any of it. ANY OF IT!!

I get what they were trying to do but it’s… not quite there.
The game is essentially a late night B-movie with some playable scenes. Then they want you to experience the feeling of being deaf while this goes on because the main character is deaf. The thing is: these two things aren’t mixed very well. First off, the main character (Dane) seems capable of communicating, so he can at least hear a little or read lips. In fact, he even speaks and the other characters understand him. Several times already I watched him have a back and forth dialogue. However, we are not given subtitles even during these scenes. Everyone that knows him talks to him casually and he seems to be picking it all up, so we’re not experiencing the world through him… he’s doing a much better job than we are. Also, there are cut scenes we are given to watch without Dane around, so why can’t we even hear those? So it’s not so much experiencing a deaf main character but more so that we as the observing audience are deaf and trying to watch a movie not intended for deaf people. If such was actually the case, we’d do what I imagine any deaf person watching a movie would do… turn the subtitles on. I tried to do this and was even prompted at the beginning that they would provide subtitles when necessary, but I haven’t seen a single one since the first guy ranting in the first scene and no combination of making little neon signs light up in the settings menu has changed that. So apparently the only dialogue I needed to hear was some lowlife describing how a non-story female was once catcalled.

BAD DREAMS
_“They’ve promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too”. - Oscar Wilde
Your eyelids are heavy, your muscles relax, the sound of the television fades away to fatigue after a hard day at work. You embrace the arms of Morpheus and dive deep into the infinity of your imagination.
You wake up on an idyllic white sandy beach. A light breeze makes you shiver as the sun sets on the horizon. After a peaceful walk along the beach, you discover a huge dark bunker gate, which opens as you approach, inviting you to come in.
Your curiosity takes over and you decide to explore the place, revealing a wide underground complex. But what started as a perfect dream quickly turns into a bad one when you realized you’re not alone in here.
Find your way out, explore, solve puzzles and fight for your survival. Or your sanity.
