Chicken Holmes - The Mystery of Bartolomeu
I liked the idea of the little chicken, with a humor, just stay tuned to the details and look for clues, in the classic point-click style.

MultiTaskMaster
I’m always very wary of purchasing indie games. I find they have an alluring appeal, only to disappoint an hour into the game. Multi-Task Master is one of those games with an alluring appeal that can keep those who like being constantly stimulated or with an ADD brain not only occupied, but satisfied. I absolutely love the level of simplicity mixed in with complexity – if that makes sense.
Multi-Task Master is a game where the player must balance their attention between four screens. All four screens have different activities occurring within them, and are all controlled differently from one another. I absolutely love the fact that the tasks are related. In one task, you might be robbing a bank, while trying to keep the hostages calm, while attempting to take out the suspects, while attempting to catch money falling out of the building. In another task, you might be a boxer doing different training regimes all at one time. Another scenario puts you on a factory assembly line. All the scenarios I’ve encountered so far are pretty neat, engaging, and fun. The gameplay delivery on this one is rock solid, straight forward, and original. There are a lot of different scenarios and challenges to go tackle. Each scenario becomes increasingly more difficult and quicker over time. The player is given a certain amount of lives (to make mistakes). Make one too many, and there goes your effort!

This is a great game that offers something different to the norm. It is super easy to get the hang of, but the escalating difficulty and switching screens soon make it a real brain twister! There is also humor and stories weaved into the gameplay which adds extra depth. There are a lot of levels to unlock, and each one has a different setting so you never know what you are going to get!

Killer in the cabin
I truly thought it would just be another deceit game, but it’s more than that! We were calling it Among Us meets Rust, and it really is. The survival mechanic of the game, and the fact that individual players can die for not resting, or being too cold, or not eating…it adds a WHOLE NEW level to the game. Not only are you trying to figure out who the killer is, you’re trying to survive the elements. We intended to just try it out for a little while and ended up playing the whole night. I am VERY impressed, and even more excited to see where the game goes from here!

The Big Con
The game has a lot going for it, it’s designed with optional content in mind, the locations are fun to explore, the aesthetic is very captivating, the soundtrack constantly changes to match the environment, and it has funny characters that create a grounded, but enjoyable narrative. I think the story had a good pace to it, if you take into consideration all of the things that can grab your attention, they managed to keep it together very well. You can casually complete the game around 5 to 7 hours, there are many optional achievements and cosmetic trinkets, although it would be nice to have the ability to replay specific chapters. Having played the game only once, I am not sure how much impact the narrative choices actually have, the only thing I can confirm is that certain quests have more than one soluton. It’s not a difficult game in terms of puzzles and mechanics, there is usually a place to get hints, and sometimes the game offers you a way to skip a puzzle with a payment. As for the ‘thief’ gameplay, there is not much to it, it’s just a simple timing event with little to no punishment for the failure - I guess it does not make for a deep con game, if you were expecting that.

Absolutely charming and filled with character. I don’t normally gravitate toward things for nostalgia but this game captures the 90s feel so well I can’t help but grin like an idiot while playing. The art style reminds me of so many cartoons and sitcoms from the era, complete with (optional) laugh track. The music is fantastic throughout. The dialogue has an endearing sense of humor. The areas are fun to explore and puzzles fun to solve. And the game, at least as I played it, feels strangely and incredibly wholesome given it’s a game about stealing.

Rubber Bandits: Christmas Prologue
Fun PVP with friends. The game itself currently features three different maps to play, each having slightly different layouts. The matches are pretty quick (lasting a couple of minutes) and there is not a lot of stuff you are able to do besides fighting, BUT… When combined with friends, this game is a blast! It is fun and stupid, the more players play - the funnier it gets. And this is just a prologue, I cannot imagine how fun the full game will be

This game made me loose some laughts I haven’t lost in a while! Really fun to play with friends! Specially if you like the rival style of the game, that makes you compete harder with your friends. You can also switch teams and team up!
I can easily recommend this for all ages, it’s funny, practical and doesn’t take much to understand and to play!
It does not get any funnier than this! (Maybe on the full realease)
