Kismet Tapestry
spoilers, not that it’ll mean much
i can confidently say that whatever you expect from this game- you wont get. it opens with 2 minutes of footage of an expedition in the arctic accompanied with what i would describe as music for people who like the sound of nails on a chalkboard (which certainly spices up the footage, if a bit loud). after this we cut to some of the dryest turnbased rpg gameplay ive ever experienced with 2.5D controls so bad it made my head hurt. why make a game 2.5D with grid movement? why only slimes? it took me 5 minutes to figure out the controls.

Awakening The Light
Waking up in a room full of light, NoName #1892 is thrust into fighting countless monsters to stay alive without any memory of who he is or why this is happening to him. All he knows is that he has to keep moving forward. He has to keep fighting so that maybe, just maybe, he’ll find answers to his questions and find rest in a place that he can call home.
With a classic top-down style 2D game and a slight twist on the traditional RPG, Awakening the Light takes the familiar dungeon crawler and emphasizes the power of choice for the player to progress through the game. Fighting enemies and even bosses are now optional. However, don’t be fooled into thinking that it will be a breeze if you choose to take the shorter route!

Love Shore
Welcome to Love Shore, a city that transforms at night. The futuristic metropolis just happens to also be populated with cyborgs, old gods hidden in the depths of a criminal underground, and humans eager to crawl their way to the top, no matter what the cost.
After a fertility crisis changed the landscape of the city for good, a single company stepped in to help the residents: Life S. Incorporated, a biotech firm that claimed to be able to build life out of raw DNA, creating a fully formed human with thoughts, feelings, and morality of their own.
Their minds, physical appearance, and personality would be drawn from their parents’ DNA, but the children would be ‘born’ using artificial bodies. This new generation would be called the S.Humans: a non-aging, tough form of new life.
Love Shore features two playable protagonists with four storylines and romanceable options, each with their own storylines. Sam and Farah are two completely different characters suffering from the same circumstances: they’re S.Humans, one of the 100 cyborgs created by Life.S. before the company vanished.
FEATURES
LOVE SHORE features 25+ possible endings, 8 different storylines, multiple complex weaving routes and an awesome soundtrack! The game’s UI fluctuates between day and night, depending on the time in Love Shore.
MECHANICS
LOVE SHORE has hidden rpg mechanics, including a stat system for three different abilities that you can develop based on the decisions you make. All companions have a hidden approval system as well, allowing you to develop your relationships to be challenging, platonic or romantic.
Love Shore has dating sim mechanics, including unlocking romantic scenes but can also be played entirely without any romantic interactions.
COMPANIONS
Sam and Farah’s lives are a web of messy relationships, contacts and enemies. Who will you help? Who will you lose?
SD GUNDAM G GENERATION CROSS RAYS
This is a game whose enjoyment comes with several caveats: Do you like gundam (or other giant robot shows)? Do you enjoy oldschool turn based strategy? Can you overlook some rough bits of rough presentation for an otherwise pretty enough experience?
This is a very niche game for fans of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise. I say that, but it’s geared more towards those who have watched the more modern shows (and shows that the west have more experience with). No Universal Century (barring one special machine); this focuses on Gundam’s Wing, SEED, 00, and Iron Blooded Orphans. Your enjoyment of this game is tired very closely to how much you enjoyed those series.

Super Deformed Gundam
SD Gundam G Generation is a series of strategy-RPG games that focus on the Gundam. Developed by TOM CREATE and Released by Bandai. It’s long time series since late 90s and still continue to this day. However SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays is special than other because it’s the first in this series that is officially localized outside of Japan and got released worldwide in major platform.
The game is actually very popular much like Super Robot Wars counterpart in Japan, as it’s only game that allow wide customization and ability to use many Gundam in the way beyond imagine. Countless of animations and copious eye candy fanservices, each mobile suit can have unique animations for themselves for each moveset, animation for dodging, animation for making entrance and exit and much more. The story that catches on the glimpse of beauty presented in the series are what make the them great despite the subjective Super Deformed fashion and somewhat straightforward gameplay.

Hisato no Saku
A quick, fun, and replayable experience.
I failed pretty quickly on my first playthrough, but on my second I made it all the way to the end and did fairly well with my food stores and my village survived the winter.
Thinking I had it all figured out, I played again a couple days later and was not able to achieve the same success again, failing a number of times, and making it to the end once but without enough food stored for my whole village.
There are a lot of little details to pick up on for strategy, and then of course there is some luck involved as well. I hope to eventually make it to the end with a village population that is actually happy but I have a feeling that will take some time.

I was looking forward to this based on cool art style and hoped for a chill game similar to “papers, please”
So far it’s delivering on my expectations. The gameloop is somewhat random, and there aren’t so many ‘stranger’ types I’ve encountered, so it seems fun to replay but not infinitely so (and FWIW the slow text scroll to end each night can’t be skipped).
Update: I’ve had no issues since the developer’s first update. It runs as expected and is a fun 20-40 minute challenge I still haven’t beat. Recommended.

Shattered Gardens
Without a doubt, this is THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED ON STEAM TO DATE!! (900 Steam reviews)
I am sure this developer, if you’d call him that, is super PROUD to have developed the absolute WORST game of 900+ games I’ve reviewed to date. I’m sure his mommy and daddy are super proud too, what a great way to spend their $100 for the Steam fee!

This game HAS to be a “joke”. But even then, this “joke” of a game is so damn BAD that it’s not even funny. This game as a “joke” is about as funny as telling racist jokes at a black mans funeral.

Data Dream
Very fun puzzle/strategy and movement game. Unique way of moving and navigating makes gameplay entertaining and interesting. Lots of color and detail in the environments and levels, truly makes you feel like you are in some sort of digital world. Reminds me a lot of Legend of Zelda games…
I really enjoyed how the game characters were components of a computer, and all the small little details connect the game to the computer you are playing it on!
The artistry done on characters and bosses is beautiful, unique, and even eerie at some points. You can tell the developer put in a lot of time creating their own little world with all original concepts and characters. Looks great! Plays great! Very fun for busy people who can jump in and out of the game whenever they have time.
