You VS Drugs
YOU TAKE ON THE ROLE OF REAL-LIFE AGENTS WHO EXIST IN YOUR BRAIN, WHERE YOUR OWN WIT CAN RISE TO REVERT A WORLDWIDE DEVASTATION. THE ENEMY CAN ENSLAVE ANYONE, ANYWHERE. BY EMBARKING ON AN ADVENTURE THAT WILL DEFY YOUR IMAGINATION, YOU WILL DISCOVER HOW DRUG ADDICTION THREATENS HUMANITY. BY WATCHING REAL NEUROLOGICAL EVENTS, YOU WILL BE EMPOWERED TO BETTER PROTECT YOURSELF, AND THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE —IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!
Inspiration & theme: “In 1960, only 4 million Americans had ever tried drugs” (2.2% of people). “By creating the Bureau of Narcotics & Dangerous Drugs in 1968, the U.S. set the basis of an official national/international war on drugs” (Drug Enforcement Administration Museum).
50 years later, the National Survey on Drug Use & Health (2019) showed that 164.8 million Americans aged 12 or older (60.1% of people) were past month substance users. Even worse, “children are already abusing drugs at age 12 or 13 (…), including tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, marijuana, prescription drugs such as sleeping pills & anti-anxiety medicines” (National Institute on Drug Abuse -NIDA-, 2020). And now, the United Nations’ 2021 World Drug Report states that “pandemic effects ramp up drug risk, as youth underestimate cannabis dangers”. So, what now? NIDA (2020) states that “Increased understanding of the basics of addiction will empower people to make informed choices in their own lives”. But if science took +100 years to unravel how drugs change the brain and produce addiction, how can regular kids & adults learn such complex topics to foresee the hidden dangers of trying drugs?
‘You VS Drugs’ is the first brain-based video game saga in the world designed to prevent drug addiction by empowering people with real knowledge, so they can make better choices in their own lives!
Design & gameplay: It’s a chibi cartoon-style 3D graphic design of characters & settings which give players a sense of action and fun at first glance. Friends & foes, level challenges, sounds, structures & objects are designed for players —that can play alone/with a partner— to explore, have fun, get surprised, fight, and make decisions that test the knowledge players acquire while watching how their brain works, and how drugs mess up with people’s lives. All relevant situations are inspired in real events of the working brain.
Game mechanics (and link to the learning experience):
• Incorrect responses to Path questions lead to situations that diminish energy levels.
• Correct responses to Path questions earn players points. Enough points allow the discovery of a special feature in the camp’s hospital.
• Your choices sometimes affect other AI teammates’ energy levels.
• To complete the first half of a level you need to take care of your fellow(s).
• Once a level is completed, the subsequent level is unlocked.
• Before a new level starts, weapon improvements or new skills can be learned at the camp’s gym.

Flat Earth Simulator
My first impressions were positive with a beautiful model, pleasant narration along soothing ambient music.
-
It would have been great to zoom in more and see cities mapped onto the model from high altitude photos.
-
The Sun and Moon are different sizes, they should be about the same.
-
The Sun and Moon orbits are locked.
-
No Moon phases or eclipses present.
-
No Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn sun orbit paths for seasons.
-
Stars seem random rather than actual mapped stars along with correct movements over the plane.

Garbage.
No way to change display/sound settings in game, must quit and re-launch. No option to not have the really slow narrator read everything to you, instead you must mute it, hide the text, and then press space to open it with the full text visible for anyone who can read faster than a third grader, the text is poorly written with many grammatical mistakes and quirks that make it hard to understand, the information being presented raises more questions than it answers, and the clues that pop up every few minutes make no sense and don’t actually lead to anything.

Riddle of the Sphinx™ The Awakening (Enhanced Edition)
OVERALL RATING 9.5 / 10.
It took me around 20 hours to finally complete ROTS Enhanced, and I must say it was well worth the price (I’m including the DNCs I also purchased in my opinions: Night Exploration DLC and the Dead Ends/Hints DLC).
First, the DLCs I purchased:
-The Dead Ends (Hints) DLC helped a LOT along the way, when I needed it, which was once in a while. None of the “puzzles” were, to me, illogical…so with some help and nudging I was able to complete everything. There are a LOT of different areas in the game and thus a lot to cover, which the DLC does well. I also appreciated the way the Dead Ends DLC was structured: either hints OR direct solving ,depending on which area/node you were visiting during the game. Player’s choice, and the entire DLC was easily integrated into the game: right click during the game, then click on a menu icon, taking you to the menu where the Hints DLC resides, without quitting out of the game, per se.

Riddle of the Sphinx is a point and click adventure game that was released in 2000. Recently, it has been “remastered” and updated to run on the latest systems. I was very excited to hear that this game was coming to steam and even more excited to hear that the game was being updated. I remember playing this game back when it was first released and I recall loving it then. I was looking forward to reliving fond memories of an awesome game that combined two loves of mine. Puzzles and Ancient Egypt.

Tybot Invasion: The Typing Runner
Simple, clean, fun and challenging game! It’s also very didactic, not only for approaching typing skills in a really ludic and laidback way, but also for offering the opportunity to learn and fix English vocabulary. Very addictive, just like all the other games from Sensen, making every run exciting with the right touch of difficulty. Every new game is a good surprise for me. Keep it up, guys! (:

The best key response this typing game can give to you.
Graphic: Not gorgeous but cool.
Game: Neat & Crispy.
Many typing games stayed a while and got uninstalled from my PC.
but I think this one will somehow survive.
Not gorgeous but good.

Mystery Of Camp Enigma
This was a basic point @ click adventure. The game page says the game has hidden objects but it does not, just inventory to pick up. I am sick of hidden objects so that is a good thing for me. I knew going in that it was a two part game so was not too upset about the abrupt ending. The game played smoothly with no glitches. It was a enjoyable game and the time passed quickly. My only complaint is the auto save didn’t save right where you quit. One time I lost about a half hour play but it did only take me about 10 minutes to replay as I knew what to do already. After that I just left the game on when I left it. I will be buying #2 soon as now I NEED to know what happened there.

I love point and click puzzle games, and have had hours of fun out of some in my collection which were in a similar price range. This one is not bad but it’s really very basic, short, has a sudden lame ending, and in my opinion over priced for what it is. I would recommend waiting until it’s on sale and wouldn’t advise paying more than a few pounds.
