This game is super underrated. If you like spooky games this will definitely have you on your toes the whole time. Hanging out in the house is actually super scary. It is more of a challenge type game with randomized stuff in it. I really enjoyed the game however I can also see why people are frustrated with it. If you are frustrated easily this game might not be for you because you have to figure out how to fight the ghost because of the lack of a proper tutorial and when you die you have to start all over. It is beatable and once you figured out how you will also realize that its not as hard as you think.

In the atmospheric world of Jude:
Exploring -Exploring is a great logical tactic to complete the goal ahead of you. By understanding the structure of your current location you might allow yourself to complete the objective with more efficacy.
Survive - Be sure to always be ready to be on the run but in most cases you will need short strategic plans, precision mixed with skills, and a lot of patience to stay alive. You will understand.
Collect - You will need to keep an eye out. Your eyes will not betray you, you will need them to always be active. This will become the most important thing you do.

The Sealed Ampoule
An interesting variation on mystery dungeons.
The Sealed Ampoule is the newest game from CAVYHOUSE games and it is just as beautiful and strange as their other titles. Fans of mystery dungeons won’t find a ton of challenge here but it is a nice pared down experience, it’s pared down in that there is only the one dungeon and look of it doesn’t really change save for the ever shifting background colours, also while you do always start at the first floor your levels don’t reset and you accrue experience and stat upgrades that help each subsequent run. In another deviation from the usual mystery dungeon, there are no upgradeable weapons or clothing instead you upgrade the dungeon itself and your skillset. The characters are charming and while the story is simple it’s nice to solve a mystery.

Like the other Cavyhouse games, this is a very aesthetic, weird and experimental game. If you played Forget me Not? It’s about twice as long and grindy. Still worth playing if you’ve liked other Cavyhouse games.
If you’ve not played something by Cavyhouse before… this would be a good starting point, as it’s the first one timewise? If you’re just looking for a roguelike, and have played a bunch of those this likely won’t be super interesting to you though. it’s fairly low stakes (die = resources lost and that’s about it), but there’s also not like weapon/armor upgrades. there’s just skills and upgrading the dungeon itself. And loot is all recovery items, tools or materials. If you want a very relaxed, and less complicated roguelike though? This may actually be a perfect fit for you.

Voxel Runner - Pure Soul: The Journey of the Witch Emily
I was surprised, interesting story with good plot of the game.
I finished the game but I wanted to play longer.
I loved the music and sound effects. There are moments of tension, got out of energy mode mode and there was a spider in front of me, I already thought “shit” kkkkk!

Really Short and simple game. About thirty minutes long. Loved the art and diversity of monsters.

Shine Within
-Yes, this game is free, and no, i think it would have been better to keep this in an early access state.-
Some factors remind me of games like Undertale, some ‘jokes’ of Toby Fox’s style of writing in general.
Having said that, this game misses opportunities to build up irony where it seemingly wants to, which results in boring gameplay fairly quickly. Unfortunately i had a game breaking bug ontop, unable to get the last piece of a mandatory objective, hence i could not advance in the game and had to start over right at the beginning.

For a free game, it isn’t bad. I can tell there was a strong inspiration from Undertale. There isn’t any combat here and the puzzles are all very mild. There is a story hidden here, but it is told in a vague enough fashion that I never really felt sucked into the world. Especially since the “memories” start coming quickly towards the end, breaking the flow of action time and time again.
That being said, I can see a lot of passion behind this game and it is definitely worth a try…especially for free!

Another great typing game from Sensen Games. Really simple, but with a good soundtrack and design. A couple of hours of great entertainment, totally worth the price!

B100X - Auto Dungeon RPG
I do recommend the game but…there’re several glaring flaws.
The game does a very poor job explaining the item mixing system. This is because the game literally tells you nothing about the major rules governing item mixing and essence extraction. However, you can generally create items that continuously get stronger through good use of blank essences and abrasive stones. I wouldn’t have figured that out without hanging out on the game’s Steam forum.
The Heart System is literally a pointless feature. You lose a heart each time you die, unless you have Heart Protection. Lose all 5 hearts and you lose all of your equipped items the next time you die. Your hearts are restored for free every day at midnight. Seriously, this “feature” just screws over the player by preventing them from playing out of fear of losing their items when they’re out of hearts…or you could open the wallet for 75 hearts via microtransactions. Scroll up and look at the store page to see the price.

A great game - this is a semi idle game you can play actively for quite a long time before it starts slowing down. The game has very in depth ‘crafting’ mechanics, which are core of the game, so I have made a guide for the English speaking community based on sea season(patch 1.2 approximately) and added my own build in so you know that it’s not game being unfair, but you simply needing to be smart with using it’s mechanics.
Be aware that using the guide can take part of the fun you get by learning the unknown.

Fortress of Hell
Fortress of Hell is an RPG Maker game, but one intended for a mature audience. Its heroes are all grown up, frequently vulgar/cynical, and there will be plenty of sarcastic remarks.Also the theme of the games is quite depraved. While I’m not well versed in the state of RPG Maker games in the 2010’s, the combat system in this game seems fairly good, rewarding the use of buffs and debuffs, and requiring some management of TP/MP. You won’t be able to simply spam skills and spells even in normal mode. Thankfully most of the enemies can be dealt with mere weapon attacks, once your party has leveled up a bit. The progression of the heroes contain numerous points, where you have to choose one talent out of 3 or 2. The description of the outcomes are sometimes too vague, so you might end up with an underwhelming upgrade. Not that it matter that much, on normal difficulty the game can be easily completed even with subpar choices.

Aldorlea Games surprised me here with a much darker, even mature, themed game as we are used to from them. And it’s a pleasant surprise. It’s certainly one of their best games.
The story may be cheesy as hell but… cheesy in a good way. And yes the game is dark but it’s also spiced with a lot of humour. The dialogues are, off course, cheesy but that fits very well here.
Obviously a lot of thought and effort went in to this production. The castle just looks wonderful, a lot of attention was spend to the decoration and the looks of each screen and it shows: it’s one of the better looking RPG Maker games out there. Aldorea once again proves that you can make a pretty looking game just with stock material.
