Foxen Island
This is another game where I wish steam had something more than a yes or no rating. It’s kind of slow pace as far as finding things though that is not a bad thing over all. Is cute and has a bit to explore though the second section isn’t out yet as far as I can tell. Also if you like this game you may also enjoy Chinbu’s Adventure.
Biggest problem this game has is control. Camera follows fox but fox does not follow camera so turning is a bit jarring. Also the drift when stopping can take some getting use to. Also there is no look up or down which can make it hard to get a good perspective. Even when using the controller turning was very touchy and trying to back up with keyboard or controller really doesn’t work.

Hello, your local fox here! I decided to try this on my stream as the first game for my weekly iteration of Foxxy Fridays on Twitch. The first game I ever streamed was a game called Lost Ember, and this gave me those vibes, but to a far more simplistic extent. It’s a cute game to explore, and I think would be more captivating to a younger audience, than one well-versed with video games. However, I know the game is still in early access, so I am excited to see what more will be added to the final version. I finished the game (early access) in a little over an hour, and was able to obtain 10/11 achievements, however, I was not able to access “Photo mode” to get the last achievement, which was really frustrating, as you can imagine. One other thing that would be really cute to add, is the ability for the fox to sit in the throne chairs. Could just be a little animation where the fox jumps to the seat and sits proudly or something. But here was my experience with that: https://clips.twitch.tv/RepleteBlatantPeppermintSMOrc-bR2k1MGE0Hf0QRPr

Island of the Lost
Best casual game I’ve seen this year. It’s more involved than the demo may make it appear, with booby traps, hard to find objects, etc. There are vast areas to explore and you really get the sense of being “lost” at times.
A hub is available which offers access to any level. Game controllers are supported but I wish you could redefine the keyboard/mouse controls. I also wish you could run a bit faster since the levels are so large.
The visual aesthetics, level design, and music are fantastic. A no-brainer for the low cost.

A fun and relaxing item collecting game with beautifully crafted levels. The atmosphere is great, I love the art style, the music is nice and relaxing, the levels are fun to explore (You can even get outside the map somewhere in level 4 and explore where you’re not supposed to. I won’t tell you where though, can’t have the dev putting an invisible wall there. He’ll have to figure it out himself too if we wants to block it off) and figuring out the secrets in each level is fun as well.
All in all, a very nice game to just lean back in your chair and relax with.

New York Rat Simulator
There was something surprisingly pleasing about running a rat the size of a Great Dane around ‘NYC’ like a plague-laden Shadowfax . So that’s nice.
I’d give it a negative review for sheer lack of content, but the developers are on the up-and-up about where the game is at this point. Interested to see how it pans out.

Penko Park
Want to go on a weird safari? well then heres a game for you!
Penko park is an exploration game in the vein of Pokemon snap, you sit in a cart and are driven on a tour of the abandoned Penko wildlife park, as you travel through the park you take snapshots of the various animals that inhabit the place, in many ways its like a rail shooter.
Of course theres more to it that simply riding passively through the park, there are numerous collectables to find and alternate paths to open up. And simply finding the various animals isn’t all there is either most will have multiple poses to collect so you have to figure out how to get them in addition to just finding the animal, for the most part this is fairly easy as the interactions involve only the target animal itself, but there are a few situations where things get complex (like using one creature to scare another) its just a shame that there aren’t more of these in the game (like scaring away a predator causing a new creature to come out or something) but I can see how that would be alot more work for such a small team.

It’s Pokemon Snap on Steam.
So, I really liked Pokemon Snap on N64. I know, I know, it’s a game for five-year-olds, but it was so much fun - travel around different locations, keep your eyes peeled, take some good pictures. Well, that’s what this game is… just with the random monsters of a different imagination. It’s kinda weird - this game is quite a bit simpler than Snap, and yet… I think I liked this one more. Heck, the graphics aren’t even up to the Snap level (Snap was 3D, super animated, blah blah blah… This one is hand-drawn-y, simple animations, etc) - and I still think I like this one better. My ONLY disappointment was how quickly I “beat” the game - I’m showing 4.2 hours logged as of writing this, and that was with trying to take my time to enjoy (rather than trying to “steamroll” the game).

Retexo Mori
“Above all, we hold this to be irrefutable: Death is the only True Evil. Retexo Mori.”
- Daily Prayer of the Unyielding
Retexo Mori is a Pac-Man-like game in first person, with bullet hell elements and an aesthetic that clashes early 90’s FPS pixel-art with vaporwave. It features short, high-intensity rounds inside carefully crafted arenas where you must navigate, avoid, and outwit Shadows that pursue you relentlessly. It is easy to understand, but difficult to master: while the enemies behave predictably, in tandem they can easily box you in if you don’t think far enough ahead.
