FUTURE NOIR
FUTURE NOIR is a first-person adventure, action and self-discovery story that combines elements of FPS and walking simulator. You play as agent Langley K., a detective in charge of solving a senseless crime that will take you to the most remote places in a dystopian future in search of clues and evidence that will help with your investigation, but as time passes everything starts to get complicated and nothing makes sense, pushing K. to the limit and discovering things that perhaps would have been better not to know, are you ready?

THE GAMEPLAY

BEST GAME 2021,
The story is riveting and feels very real.
It is easy to find yourself resonating with both of the characters as you play through.
The midwest aesthetic is spot on and shows the care and detail that went into every aspect of the game.
If you like visual novels pick it up. plus the team is super cool I hear.
10/10

Scribblequest
My name is Scribble & this is my game, Scribblequest! It’s a whimsical musical adventure. No, it’s not just a game with music in it, it’s like LITERALLY a musical. We sing songs with lyrics that tell the story while minigames pop in and out in time with the music.
There’s also a colorful world to explore and lots of lovable new friendbuddies to meet! (Just a warning that 2 of the aforementioned “friendbuddies” are my parents. You don’t have to be friends with them if you don’t want to. I wouldn’t blame you, they’re kind of A LOT… Modge and Podge, if you somehow figured out how to use Steam and are reading this, I’m very sorry and I love you… Also I’m proud of you for figuring out a computer thing despite being like 5 million years old. OK, I’m sorry again. I’ll stop talking now.)
-
Songs that tell the story. In Scribblequest me and my friends literally sing songs, you know, like in a musical.
-
Gameplay that feels the beat. Everything reacts to the beat of the music in minigames that rapidly pop in and out.
-
Befriend a charming cast of characters (and my parents too, I guess). My name is in the ding dang title so you know I’ll be there, but so will a bunch of my best friendbuddies. I think you’ll like them a lot. My parents invite themselves to everything so I’m sure we’ll run into them too and I apologize for that in advance. (Nah, but seriously, Modge and Podge are actually pretty fun sometimes I guess… Don’t tell them I said that though.)
-
Join the band! Will you shred a scorching guitar solo or honk out a stinky sax solo? The choice is yours!
-
Create a custom avatar! You will totally get to create a custom avatar using a very well designed and intuitive user interface. I promise. (I don’t promise)
-
Race shopping carts and lift weights! Podge says this is the stuff “manly men” do, so if you’re a manly man I think you’ll really enjoy these particular activities.
-
Grow your own nose by helping it eat fruit! (I swear this makes sense in context)
-
Experience the power of server-side cloud rendered blast processing! I don’t know what this means but Podge told me nobody will buy the game unless I included it. (I don’t think he knows what it means either)
Cozy Grove
I love this game, and if you like games like Animal Crossing you will probably like it too.
It is a cute little game which allows you to help out ghosts by fulfilling the tasks they give you.
You also build a camp for yourself, take care of animals, harvest plants and flowers, decorate the island etc.
Everyday you get a few tasks and some things you can harvest, but after those are done you may have to wait till tomorrow to get new ones, so the game is more of a gradual story and a slow burn (which I like a lot because I do not have the time for major games at the moment).
– Real player with 97.9 hrs in game
A lovely game with interesting new ideas, stymied by poor design decisions that make it a chore. If you like Stardew Valley type games, and don’t mind the restrictions usually found on mobile, it could be for you.
Good:
-
Interesting characters, a slow burn unravelling of their stories
-
A nice ‘illumination’ mechanic whereby helping spirits each day lights up the area and enables resource harvesting. Feels rewarding and like you’re making progress.
-
Lots of outfits and recipes to collect for collector / crafter types

A Chamber of Stars
Each person has a universe inside of them.
A personal universe with characters influenced by the observable reality around them. Your friends, the fans, the local shop clerk, each person you pass without giving pause is another universe. You make up a story about them, they form a story about you. The universes expand.
I always wonder how similar our universes can be. You and I. Will I ever be able to pierce through and present myself, my real self, or will the information be lost in translation? The thing rattling around in our heads can’t be all that different. We both still get choked up over the same melodies, it’s only human to do so, right?
Maybe, if you would like it, I could play something for you. Lord knows your songs are still rattling around in my head.
The singularly named Starr, an enigmatic performer, guitarist and songwriter, has somehow survived the constant shifting tide of the musical landscape. Decade after decade, this artist has remained relevant in culture’s eye. After multiple personas, genre manipulations and controversies, the public is still buzzing. “What will Starr do next?” The rumors say their upcoming album will be the fated magnum opus…
A Chamber of Stars is the sequel to 2018’s The Endless Empty. Through six unique worlds the life of the rock n’ roll hero, Starr, will be pieced together. Exploration, choices and performances will change the course of a life and will alter the songs that are produced. A Chamber of Stars will feature a mix of classic adventure games, puzzle solving and unique rhythm game performances all within a fully realized surrealist universe.
Nothing heavenly or divine; just filthy mortal music here.
A Conversation With Mister Rabbit
What’s positive
-
Cute story
-
Rabbit
What’s negative in this game
-
Only has 8 minutes worth of game play for a 2$ even for a indie game that is not worth the buck.
-
you do not gain access to the startup screen for the game till after you beat it leading you to thinking there is content after the story when there is none.
Conclusion: Do not buy it is not worth the cost not much else to go in details on.
