Love Shore

Love Shore

Welcome to Love Shore, a city that transforms at night. The futuristic metropolis just happens to also be populated with cyborgs, old gods hidden in the depths of a criminal underground, and humans eager to crawl their way to the top, no matter what the cost.

After a fertility crisis changed the landscape of the city for good, a single company stepped in to help the residents: Life S. Incorporated, a biotech firm that claimed to be able to build life out of raw DNA, creating a fully formed human with thoughts, feelings, and morality of their own.

Their minds, physical appearance, and personality would be drawn from their parents’ DNA, but the children would be ‘born’ using artificial bodies. This new generation would be called the S.Humans: a non-aging, tough form of new life.

Love Shore features two playable protagonists with four storylines and romanceable options, each with their own storylines. Sam and Farah are two completely different characters suffering from the same circumstances: they’re S.Humans, one of the 100 cyborgs created by Life.S. before the company vanished.

FEATURES

LOVE SHORE features 25+ possible endings, 8 different storylines, multiple complex weaving routes and an awesome soundtrack! The game’s UI fluctuates between day and night, depending on the time in Love Shore.

MECHANICS

LOVE SHORE has hidden rpg mechanics, including a stat system for three different abilities that you can develop based on the decisions you make. All companions have a hidden approval system as well, allowing you to develop your relationships to be challenging, platonic or romantic.

Love Shore has dating sim mechanics, including unlocking romantic scenes but can also be played entirely without any romantic interactions.

COMPANIONS

Sam and Farah’s lives are a web of messy relationships, contacts and enemies. Who will you help? Who will you lose?

Neo Cab

Neo Cab

Capra, sometimes a pax wants a human driver.

We finally have the two taxi games that were announced at last year’s E3. Night Call was the first to be released a couple months ago and now we finally have Neo Cab. Funnily enough, while Neo Cab was shown first it ended up releasing second. Let’s see how this one fares as we go into the future.

In Neo Cab, you play as Lina right before she arrives at Los Ojos with her few belongings and her trusty cab. While Lina would be more comfortable at Cactus Flats, the need to reconnect with her best friend, Savy, propels her forward. Why doesn’t Lina want to be at Los Ojos? Well, it turns out that it’s home to a tech company called Capra. Years ago, Lina worked with them as a cab driver, but as technology advanced, Capra switched out human drivers for self-driving cars. Not ready to stop driving people around, Lina went to get employed by Neo Cab. Now, Lina is one of the few human drivers left in Los Ojos as Capra tries to push their competition away.

Let’s get that out of the way first: I enjoyed the conversations with the passengers a lot. They’re sometimes funny, unexpected, deal with certain issues and represent a good spectrum of people. Obviously every single one has one issue or another and there’s no one that just lets you drive, but that’s what the game is about, so there’s no arguing that.

The main story however is your run of the mill dystopia with a big evil megacorp, nothing to write home about. It’s good enough to keep you interested. I hated the Savy character, but that’s actually a plus. She’s written that way and after having all too recent experience with this kind of person it hit a bit close to home. Props to the devs to how it’s handled and that you even get to ditch her, even though that particular scene comes across like a (repetitive) minigame.

Tell Some Story: Foz

Tell Some Story: Foz

The project will not be able to surprise you with ultimatum mechanics or gameplay innovations, but it will try to keep your attention with an intriguing and rich plot, as well as non-standard visuals and atmosphere. The main task was to create an adult and serious story with contrasting visuals, in which voxel and low poly models are mixed.

The game is hardcore enough, in rare moments of shootouts, you have to show considerable ingenuity to emerge victorious from this or that situation. My advice is to read the tips, because any bullet can be the last one. The plot, which unfolds more and more with each level, will lead you to one of twelve endings, the choice of which will depend only on the player.

Features of the game:

  • Action-adventure + Third person shooter.

  • Specific voxel / lowpoly graphics.

  • Dark cyberpunk theme.

  • Extremely detailed characters.

  • A cozy bar as a location.

  • Intense storyline with twelve endings

  • Faithful companions to help you on your adventure.

  • Realistic damage system affecting both the player and his enemies.

And much more.

All Walls Must Fall - A Tech-Noir Tactics Game

All Walls Must Fall - A Tech-Noir Tactics Game

A great game that just needs a bit more polish. If you liked xcom or syndicate (old school) youll probably love this game.

This game has a few levels to it.

The first level is a great shooter/ and minimal rogue or semi-RPG with time travel mechanics. Some of the firefights can be intense and complex strategizing your twisting of time between hailstorms of bullets allowing one man to wipe out an army.

Its not terribly deep on the surface likly because they didnt get the funds to make the game its full intended length (west germany as well as east germany). I do not regret any time spent, or not spent in this game. (yes its a bad joke since at the time of writing this I have the world record of completing the entire game in 1 minute 29 seconds… time travel accounted for=).

A masterpiece ruined by retard downvoters, small minded casual homophobic cry babies.

I got this game during early access, did a first run but messed the first 3 tutorial missions,

earning low money and getting stuck on harder missions because with low money you can’t upgrade much.

Now that the game is published I did a serious run, nailed the tutorial missions and also unticking the ‘decision timer’ option,

which allows you to think about each move without losing time (time = money).

After those 3 missions you get access to the map, where you can select your next mission.

A good cyberpunk game about a girl who is locked up in a secret complex and is forced to fight not only for her life, but also for the lives of many innocent people …

This is how the game we see begins, which evokes a lot of emotions. Among all these good effects and atmosphere, attention to detail is visible, starting with short tracks and other sounds, ending with the backgrounds of this wonderful game, for which I would like to thank the developers, I recommend you to familiarize yourself and use

DIVINATION

DIVINATION

This game disturbs me a little bit and I love it for that. I guess I should call it a visual novel because the only real thing you do is decide how to arrange the runes your patrons select, but even that little act can be a quite an experience depending on how into it you can get. What could this rune mean, what order do they actually go in, can I actually reverse the fortune by moving this one?

It’s very short (like 20 minutes tops) to go through a single time and the English text could use a bit touching up in a few spots, but for the cost of a soda or candy bar I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre.

This is a very short game with only 4 characters but each divination change the outcome whoch makes the story very interesting. After the first round, you can use the flowchart to pick the options you decide and see the result, I do encourage you to not necessarily focus on the 100% chaos but to try to see how each result has an impact with the ending.

The 100% Chaos ending is really interesting, it reminded me a LOT of Chobits (not the animated version) as the plots turns a lot around the fact the robots don’t have the choice to live or to die.
