Hell Pie
Hell Pie is an obscene 3D platformer that takes bad taste to the next level! The game sees you grab the horns of Nate, the ‘Demon of Bad Taste’. He is given the honorable task of gathering the disgusting ingredients for Satan’s infamous birthday pie. To do so, Nate must venture out into the overworld and do whatever it takes to ensure those ingredients are secured in time, or there’ll be hell to pay!
Luckily Nate isn’t alone on this quest, his ‘pet’ angel Nugget is there to offer support. Nugget offers his holy insight when needed, but more importantly is chained to Nate, so can be used like a grappling hook or swung around as a weapon. Nate can also equip horns he finds across the world to give him new hellish abilities.
Together Nate and Nugget will explore insane environments, meet tons of repugnant characters and witness some truly shocking sights. Hell Pie is a seriously twisted take on the classic mascot platformer, come along for the ride if you think you can stomach it!
-
Become a demon: You’re Nate, demon of bad taste, the 8th deadly sin. While not taken very seriously in hell, he is feared on earth (by some…a few…2-3 people at least).
-
Heavenly support: Nugget the angel does not only look cute, he’s also useful. Throw him like a grappling hook, use him as a weapon and let him be your guide.
-
Freedom: Use the extensive moveset to overcome obstacles the way you want.
-
Filth: It might look cute, but there are violent characters, illicit drugs and sodomy.
-
Stuff: Collect things! Lots of things!
-
Hell and above: Explore 4 big worlds and survive challenging platforming levels.
-
Fashion: Buy outfits. You’re the demon of bad taste and should look the part.
-
Random bullet point: Did you know? Necrophiliac ducks exist.

Hobo Cat Adventures
A fun and silly 3D platformer with a character and story aesthetic like a love letter to Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Full of silliness, over the top humor, potty mouths, flying body parts, and is a blast! Ride a chicken to get around. Zoom around on an over-caffeinated spree. Roll around with crazy physics as a Snowball. Blast a regiment of rat warriors to smithereens with bombs. Hack em to bits with a chainsaw and collect their heads as trophies. Twang your banjo. Help a very drunk duck deny the reality of his living conditions. Drink Hobo Brew until you’re pissing on plants to rejuvinate the local flora and fauna. Full of little nods and references to it’s inspirations. An overall a silly good time!

So, first of all, I have to say this game was my first Steam purchase and I don’t regret it.
The funny characters, the varied places as well as the many possibilities that the items offer always put a smile on my face.
Some of the collectibles are well hidden but not unfair. The quests that you get in the game are all very varied and do not repeat themselves.
As a German, I don’t understand the Eastereggs that are based on the Swiss streaming scene, but so it piqued my interest to take a look. It was really interesting to deal with it a little more, because I never noticed anything about it. Which of course is not surprising.

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.

Angry Putin
Angry Putin feels like a low budget, extremely short version of GTA Russia - if Putin was the lead character that is…If you want to get drunk on VOTKA, VOTKA, VOTKA, beat people up fairly brutally and dance for 10-15 minutes for less than £1 then this will fill that void in your life.
Genuinely rather satisfying despite being rather basic and short. For less than £1 I think it’s worth it!
Check out my gameplay video right here: https://youtu.be/joL-yfH0Zt4
NOTE: I received this game for free.

The Trud
What the heck is a Trud? Some sort of baddie I imagine. The cutscenes are in the realm of so-bad-it’s-good, But the game that follows is a good enough spooky puzzle and slow walking simulator.

Update: the dev has updated the game since my previous review and it’s much better. Now the movement is smoother and faster and the game flows better. I enjoyed my second playthrough. Below is my old review from long ago.
Cons:
-
It is absurdly overpriced.
-
99.9% of the things you do in the game are walking. And the walking is buggy as hell. They might fix it later, but at release it’s pretty bad. If you turn while walking it feels like you bump into invisible walls all the time or maybe the character is tripping over her own feet because the game stops you from moving forward for about 0.1sec. Feels very wonky and at some point teaches you to never look around and just look forward to avoid the glitchy walking.

Dread X Collection 2
Score: 7/10
Dread X Collection games are a great concept. A horror house of mini-games that take 30-60 minutes to finish to unlock a larger narrative. The first game had a lot of duds and a few games that crashed and couldn’t be finished, and the same goes for this collection. There are far better games, but the duds are even worse this time around. At least there’s a larger hub world you can explore and get the games to require solving simple puzzles in a mansion you are locked in. It took me about 20 minutes to solve all the puzzles and find all twelve keys. It really doesn’t take much with some barely even considered puzzles. Each game is on a VHS tape locked in a box in the main room. You put the tape in the VCR and the game will pop up. It’s a neat concept and fun while it lasts, but you will spend the majority of your time with the smaller games. I will go through each one and let you know if they’re worth your time or not.

This collection takes place in a house with puzzles that you must solve to unlock keys to be able play the next game you desire. There is a free play mode if you don’t want to deal with the puzzles. There are 12 games in this collection and I will speak of each one in the order that I play them:
Squirrel Stapler
This was my first choice in this collection, its from the creator of DUSK, I enjoyed it. I will agree with a few others that the map seems like it could have been smaller, but at the same time the emptiness aside from the few squirrels and the vegetation and buildings made it kinda eerie to me. I always felt that I was being watched, and I was kinda right to think that. There are notes around certain areas of the map and they mainly have squirrel facts and some other topics. The main premise of the game is that you’re hunting squirrels for an “art project” involving your wife, and meeting god. How sweet of you. The game adds in new weird things pretty much each day, up to 5 days in total. The game isn’t super scary but it got me good a few times, especially the ending. Keep your rifle loaded; God is coming.
