The Big Con

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.

It’s a neat game, but 2 things it could really use are a harder difficulty than the current expert and a way to note which locations you have eliminated for a particular symbol. The current expert difficulty is still only 2 minute puzzle once you get a bit of practice and the greatest challenge is honestly when you need to keep more than 2 clues in your head in order to figure out where to put the next symbol.

It’s murder sudoku! The difficulty is fun (although I’d like there to be a harder difficulty setting, but I’m also a sudoku veteran, so there’s that), the rules are clever, the writing is… I’m sure I’ll get to it, once I stop clicking fast through it to get to more puzzles :D Very addictive, very nice UI, all in all, I highly recommend this for logic game aficionados.

The Dope Game

The price isn’t that bad, especially considering the current prices of the trading cards. The game itself however is pretty lackluster coupled with a mandatory install for another (free) game in order to unlock all the locations/perks in this game.

The “secret lab” isn’t implemented yet, and the “fun park” is pretty dull as well.

The horrible horrible soundtrack.

The music, and sounds, isn’t bad for the first couple of playthroughs. But once you get the basics down, and start spending -10 seconds on each screen it gets pretty frustrating.

Overview

Drugwars, Dopewars, and now there’s The Dope Game. Same concept, but now it’s on Steam. In case the player somehow doesn’t know the drill, every game starts with a player borrowing money in a turn-based strategy to speculate on the dope market all the while either avoiding (or winning) fights with gang members and cops while hoping to raise enough money to pay back the loanshark and keep buying and selling their way to riches before the days expire.

Detective Rosie Morgan: Murder on the River Thames

Another enjoyable VN which actually links to The Bahamian Rhapsody and Colorado Cocoa Club VN’s.

I did expect more options like the Others But I feel the one you can end up with is lovely.

Though the Doctor was cute to.

I would guess this was Before Cocoa though as her sister had just gone to Jamaica.

As a fellow British Englishman who enjoys the pleasures of drinking Tea & Coffee, I’m also a Yuri fanatic and I Approve of this game.

Don’t let my hours trick you in thinking there’s LOTS of content to play, I accidentally left the game on a couple of times. At MOST you can finish the game in around 5 hours, if you wanted to read everything and see the different option outcomes and enjoy the lore.

What I did expect was more romance options and people to choose from but nope, didn’t really mind though.

Methods: The Detective Competition

This game is so charming and wonderful, it’s quickly become one of my favourite games ever! If you like mystery stories and fun characters, I highly recommend you pick it up. And if anything seems interesting, don’t be afraid to try out the demo!

On to the (spoiler free) review! (I’ve never written a review before, so apologies if it reads oddly at all.)

The gist of the story is that, 100 of America’s greatest detectives and 100 of its worst criminals are pit in a battle royale against each other to win a million dollars. (And parole, if they’re a criminal.) You play through the stories of several participants as they advance through the competition, meeting new faces at every turn. The game is split into 100 chapters, and it took me personally about 7.5 hours to play through them all on my first playthrough.

This is probably one of my top ten games I have ever played, in part because I love solving locked room mysteries so much. I do realize it will not be everyone’s cup of tea, however. Here are (in my opinion) the main downsides of this game: 1. character art is a little lackluster, but you can see that for yourself on the steam page. You do get used to it though, and the character designs do have a lot of personality. 2. The pacing is a little weird. Sometimes you will go through long-ish periods of cutscenes back to back or mysteries back to back. 3. Finally, the ending does leave some loose ends, which could maybe have been intended to pave the way for a sequel (or maybe the game designers just couldn’t decide how to wrap them up, I don’t know). With those downsides out of the way, here are the things I love: 1. mysteries upon mysteries upon mysteries. Both little murder scenes you have to solve and some big over-arching mysteries within the game. 2. The characters are really fun. Both detectives and criminals all have a special method they use to do what they do, and it is very fun to see all of the varieties of detectives and murderers they came up with. You also get to play as different detectives and use their methods of solving mysteries, which is cool. You also get to briefly step into playing as a criminal as well. Again, I’ve never met a game with so many mysteries to solve, so this game was lots of fun for me. To me this game is very worth the $20 it normally costs (so I’d say to definitely get it if it sounds interesting, especially if it goes on sale).

A breath of fresh air in the current gaming climate! Story and character based game kind of like Disco Elysium, albeit shorter. Big game world, a lot of interaction and different ways to solve the crimes. Some tips I would give to new players:

spec your character right away, you have like 8 points and you have to manually enter each one. A bit unintuitive but you can get the hang of it. Be sure to add your 2 new points after every murder solved. humor and charm go a long way when talking to NPCs.

My Mad Road - adventure racing & shooting

My Mad Road - adventure racing & shooting

Welcome to an unpredictable cartoon world, where you play by your own rules. From crazy fun to brutal deeds. Earn cash peacefully or at any cost. Do you prefer action or peace? Good and evil – that’s what the world you’ll find yourself in is going to pay you back with.

Car drive

WE RECOMMEND THE PLAYERS TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THE EVENTS AND TAKE THEM WITH TONGUE IN CHEEK.

gameplay:

Tank up your ride, take a dog, abduct a girl, shoot or befriend something. Focus on the missions or wreak havoc – the most important thing is to have some bucks in your pocket.

My Mad Road is a completely new game where the main rule is powerful fun. You play as a controversial character who prefers to get around by car, but often needs to get out of it to take care of some business. Time passes in the game, so it’s divided into days, during which you carry out selected missions. The world’s full of life, so the missions are just a side goal, while the rest lives at its own pace. Unleash your imagination and join the events unfolding in the world of My Mad Road.

many Paths and Solutions

In every situation, you can act in multiple ways. We keep striving to make the gameplay unlimited by anything.

Some actions in the game are only available upon approaching an object or a person. The character keeps growing, so they aren’t able to do everything at the first stages of the game.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward

Remember not to make too many enemies, as they can break or kill even the biggest badass.

the Game’s Atmosphere

The game is teeming with life (animals, people) you can interact with. The game is dominated by desert and farmland views, but there’s also a good deal of fantasy and modern views.

what’s Next?

You can find sample scenes in the trailer, and the most recent content is listed in the News section.

We keep working on developing the game world and further adventures, so we encourage you to join the community to aid us.

Lost and Hound

Lost and Hound

Epic Games MegaGrant recipient and lauded for its innovation in gameplay and blind accessibility, Lost and Hound is a game like no other that follows the extraordinary Corgi, Biscuit. In Lost and Hound, your empowered canine senses make you a superhero. Heightened hearing and sense of smell will guide your paws as you work towards your goals, saving lives and averting tragedies.

As Biscuit your hearing will allow you to access information that’s inaccessible to humans. You will be able to hear through walls and use the information your audio senses gather to help track people and match up items such as those left at a crime scene with their owners.

Using your superior sense of smell you’ll be able to scent track your way to becoming a dog mercenary. Scent in Lost and Hound is represented by a low, pleasant humming sound. Similar to making your way through a maze where the way out would be invisible under normal circumstances, subtle sound or scent cues will guide you to your query.

As Biscuit you’ll travel around the world taking on many of the roles of real-world working dogs. From working in a hospital to assist with seizure detection and detecting cancer to herding sheep in the rough, Australian outback. Your work as a K9 tracker will take you to Japan, the Swiss Alps, the American wilderness, and many other locales. In between each mission, you’ll have the option to complete mini levels to earn extra money and travel to more exotic locations.

Features:

  • Travel around the world working as the strong-willed Corgi Biscuit.

  • Solve crimes, track down missing people, and assist those in need.

  • Use your superior hearing to listen for accelerated heartbeats, hear through walls, and more to piece together clues.

  • Follow subtle scent clues with your heightened sense of smell represented by sound queues to track leads.

  • Take on the roles of real-world working dogs; assist with seizure detection, be an emotional support for zoo animals, and more.

  • Complete mini levels to earn extra money to fund your K9 travels.

  • Meet new animal friends throughout your travels.

  • Fully blind-accessible.
