Sacred Fire: A Role Playing Game
Where to start?
I do not write many recommendations (almost never), but this game deserves one.
Please ignore all and any negative rating, because this is a game in it’s early days.
ABOUT THE GAME:
This game is one of a kind. As a gamer that focus on RPG genre I would say this is an untold gem.
The creator of the game created a wonderful world, with an exciting story line, interesting characters, and what most amazing are the real world and life choices you have to make.
Unlike other games which focus on loot, leveling up, etc.. THIS game focus on the spirituality and morality of one’s very soul. You are faced with choices that sometimes leave you breathless as there is no good choice. Other times, you will make a choice and the way things unfold will surprise you in disbelief.

TL;DR - Clunky UI and Easily manipulated dialog/combat check system. Too many statistics that have no discernible impact on game-play. Good story telling and choices actually matter.
So far I’ve played this game a bit, I’ve gotten through the content for the first act relatively quickly. Take your time with the choices you make and think carefully about them as they WILL affect the rest of your play-through. Some choices completely change what story elements you see and will entirely remove various story branches. You character does not have plot armor, you can and will die if you make stupid choices.

Shattering Obsidian
By the end of my time with Shattering Obsidian, the main character, a native, conscientious healer-type, was becoming cynical and rather merciless due to the tragedy surrounding her, It didn’t have to be this way, it was because of my choices, which I hope are carried forward to the next chapter.
Really enjoyed this. Great story, leaving you wanting for more, in chapter 3!!
I highly recommend this game.

A brilliant adventure game- sort of a hybrid rpg and ‘point and click.’ I don’t want to spoil it, but you can’t help but be drawn in to the story. Chapter 1 is more fantasy focused, but heart-wrenching. Chapter 2 is where it gets very steampunky- where the need to know what happens next becomes tantalising!!!
I can’t wait for chapter 3!

Dust and Salt: The Battle for Murk
Set into the world of “Dust and Salt”, “The Battle for Murk” turns the tables and lets us play as a watchman in the city of Murk which is under attack by our hero of the first game “Dust and Salt”. This is a very interesting decision, indeed. The graphics, the music and the writing are good. The game itself feels quite different from the first “Dust and Salt”. The previous game had an epic scope and developed through many years and many cities, while this one, on the contrary is situated in a limited space and time and we have only one night to save the city!

Exactly what I expected: great writing with real choices! The pretty world map and the soundtrack add a layer of immersion into the story.

Puerto Viejo is a game set during the Spanish golden age in which you, playing as Miguel, are on a mission to find your father after he hasn’t returned from Sea. However, such a journey is expensive and you only have 2 days. It’s now based on you being able to find enough jobs and meet enough people in hopes to get the money in time. Completing such jobs requires the completion of various mini games: each game unique to its level. Some are harder, some are easier. Some will require you to do them over and over again until you succeed. I don’t want to spoil them, but I can tell you that they really train your timing and reflexes. Really gets you to concentrate on the game. A unique way of challenging the player, nothing I have ever seen before. This game blends both realism and non fiction too, in that it demonstrates the work of the Spanish golden age in its mini games. The Spanish golden age was a time period of flourishing art and literature. This is seen in levels such as helping your friend sing a poem while you are plucking the guitar. For the rest, I’ll let you explore and connect the levels to the games surrounding yourself. A fun and easy way to learn something new.

What a charming game! The game has gorgeous art and music which helps to whisk me away to a Ghibli-esque world. The minigames are varied with lots of new mechanics each being introduced. I look forward to what’s next from this studio.
