Cybermere
I like the idea of the game and the graphics, however, the way to play is too confusing with the game offering the bare minimum of advice for example it will tell you what each item does but it does not explain in what order to use them in or how they affect what your doing. The very first mission I played I had to pretty much guess my way though it the first time I hacked the node it took 3 minutes of real time the second time I restarted my campaign and did it again it took 32min of real time and the game does not tell you what affects it.

Space Pilgrim Episode II: Epsilon Indi
A year after the Alpha Centauri Incident, Gail Pilgrim is still in the passengers business, though she has Sabina White, the clever scentist that became her co-pilot. Unfortunately, now in Epsilon Indi, she’s under the investigation of the J.A.C., the corrupt space police. Between the rebel scientist, the priestess of a strange cult and the young man that want to be a Jackal, Gail and Sabina have to survive the encounter. And what surprise is in stock for them?
This game is the sequel of Space Pilgrim Episode I: Alpha Centauri. So, you bet that you’re familiar with the ship. The story is still well-written, with the same humor as before: Gail still in dangerous situation, not really trusting herself, Sabina still logical and in her world and now, on top of that, a young man overconfident with himself, a scientist that is too absorbed in his work and a priestess that makes sense but not really. You still have Galactic Hospital as the sitcom on TV and the cat Zubar, though he’s not useful in this opus.

Space Pilgrim Episode Two: Epsilon Indi, 2020 FRIENDLY GAME SERIES
If you like Firefly at all then you may just love this RPG Maker style game where you interact with items to play out episodic style narratives, with a few small puzzles involving item mixing and of course, a few laughs now and then.
**Edit: 2019 and I have played this episode through 6 times over the past several years!
This game has mature content, mainly tame sexual or bodily references for humor. Recommended for teenagers and above.**

I bought this game on the Steam release sale (10% off). While I can’t say that I feel I got my money’s worth, I also can’t quite give a negative review. Consider this a neutral recommendation. There’s lots of things to like about this, but there seems to be an equal amount of things not to like.
This is a sci-fi escape room. If you’re expecting a puzzle experience like in The Room VR: A Dark Matter, then you will be sorely disappointed. This game lacks the production values, polish, & the amazing puzzle design (along with good hint system) in the The Room. Instead, you have puzzles that are open-ended and you have to find the right item or the correct code and figure out how to use them or pair them with another clue.

The Devs have listened to feedback and added smooth turning and other control options, very good.
The game itself consists of a quite a few puzzles that are difficult to understand or outright confusing unless you’ve done them before. I don’t feel rewarded for finishing them, rather annoyed at the solution. I often found myself making progress only to be faced with yet another puzzle, and thinking “What was the point of that last one?” or “Why am I here?”
It lacks direction or explanation for why I’m doing any of the things I’m doing. Am I supposed to be doing this? Is the game glitched or have I just not found the correct solution? There’s just no indication of what I should be doing.

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!

Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure
Disclaimer: I know the developer personally, which is why this review can be considered biased.
Still, I honestly had a great time with Lacuna and recommend this to everyone who enjoys games with a focus on narrative and detective-work.
I played through the game once and will likely play it again, since your choices really seem to have an impact on the story.
The game combines pixel art with several effects such as dynamic lighting and fog. Together with the soundtrack and an overall great sound design, it creates a very captivating and moody atmosphere.
– Real player with 16.9 hrs in game
Lacuna doesn’t miss much as the game’s investigation leads you through unfilled spaces and into a deeply compelling sci-fi noir story.
Lacuna - an unfilled space or interval; a gap or missing part - a very intriguing title choice. Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure moves beyond visual novel yet doesn’t really play like a point-and-click game; however, the story and overall feel are sure to please fans of the Blackwell series and similar investigative adventure games.

Midnight Protocol
I don’t have many games in my library - I’m quite picky in my tastes. I’m not usually one for hacking games but the Demo left me wanting more. After 22 enjoyable hours, I’m evidently happy to have added this game in my library. I waited to give this revieuw untill I finished the story for the first time - It will certainly not be the last. I’ll take some time to revieuw a few aspects of the game that might interest you most:
Gameplay/Mechanics: 8/10
A game is nothing without gameplay, and a hacking game sets a promise: it will not be just ‘a game’ - but one with depth, complexity, and decision making. To achieve this, Midnight protocol structures its gameplay around levels that feel like a labyrinth or puzzle. A Digital dungeon, if you will. To get around the various obstacles such as firewalls, encrypted nodes and ‘antagonistic’ system operators that chase you down you get access to hardware you can tailor to your playstyle, as well as a host of programs each with their own up- and downsides. You quickly learn how to balance them carefully, using fairly easy commands to allocate memory to the programs you need in order to finish the level. Suffice to say, Midnight protocol nails the hacker-feel you’ll expect. It is not all roses and sunshine of course - there is quite a reliance on RNG to many of the mechanics of the game that can make you second guess your decisions while they are actually fine, or save you when you know you had no right to make it. Aside from that, i found myself at times trying a level, finding where the hidden obstacles were, and avoiding them alltogether once I got to reload the level. This was- at times-unavoidable, and felt wrong. I’ve since noticed that these hidden obstacles are slightly randomized, at least in some levels, which alleviated this somewhat. Perhaps the developers could not just list potential ICE, but also include a map at the beginning of the mission (once you enter a mission you see the layout anyway, except in rare instances), that does not show the obstacles, but layout of the nodes beforehand. With this information I feel I personally would not have had to reload to adapt my strategy as much as I did.

FINAL REVIEW
🔵Ultimately MP is a puzzle game running under the guise of a hacker game.
🔵Each Network is a puzzle, and you must defeat the puzzle using commands & tools.
🔵MP could be considered a Lightweight Hacker game which introduces turn-based gameplay
🔵Has some additional unique and impressive gameplay mechanics.
🔵I was instantly Immersed by the story and the characters.

CRASH: Autodrive
CRASH: Autodrive is spectacularly middle of the road. It’s a very east game that can be completed fairly quick. Art is solid and overall Crash is a decently made game. The ending was a bit of a wet fart but there is nothing else inherently off putting. If you are into point and click mysteries like I am, you’ll probably still enjoy this game. Otherwise, I would probably seek other titles.

Listen, I love this game. This was recommended to me by my mother, as she is friends with the brilliant man who made this game. The writing is amazing, the art is wonderful, and the music makes me wanna down three redbulls and pull an allnighter just to go through every line of dialog. I love the Fallout style hacking. The best part about it? If you don’t pay attention you will fall behind and WON’T catch back up.

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 WORLD
The game takes place on Earth, a planet in ruins and that has been suffering a nuclear winter for decades. Humanity has spread throughout the solar system, with colonies on the Moon, Mars, Venus, and the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus.
THE GAMEPLAY
FUTURE NOIR has a unique combination of elements: FPS and walking simulator mechanics mixed with adventure, action, suspense and terror, as well as charismatic characters and a great story waiting to be discovered.
Lacuna: Prologue
I can’t wait for this game to drop. I played the prologue through and was excited. the game play was varied, there are alot of interactivity between the character and the environment. I really like how you can move through the game as the character talks to himself, most games you have to either skip the monologue or not hear it to continue playing. I never thought I’d like a game with this type of graphics but I’ve been finding more and more games like this that I really like. I saved the date on my calendar for this game.
– Real player with 2.2 hrs in game
This is going to be a gem! The prologue mainly is a tutorial of the game mechanics but it doesn’t feel like one at all. It feels like you are experiencing a story and based on the previews of the full game, the choices you make have an impact!
Also, the world just fits my taste perfectly! This is some modern scy-fi stuff mixed with noir elements, considering you play a detective anyways. Filled with so many details, you can’t help but feel like you were in another world for an hour :)
I also love that the game challenges you to use your brain and not just follow the instructions.
