ENCODE
I really enjoy this game, It truly nails the cyberpunk blade runner feel. No other game on steam can match this. People are giving negative reviews like its too dark, my goodness just adjust your gamma. This game has amazing detail for a small studio of only two people. They made another game blade net that was amazing as well, very unique, cyber punk feel game of hide and seek with a twist. People who leave negative reviews with only 0.5 hours of play you guys need to re think what you are doing. I have tried every cyber punk game on steam and this game really gives me that vibe, it is totally worth the low price of 19.99/17.99 its ok to point out bugs and issues but this game deserves a positive review. Look at it like this this game has so much potential but if people keep coming and dropping negative reviews after only 5 minutes of playing the game is going to do bad, and the developer might just give up, but if you play the game give good feedback more people are likely to buy the game and the devs will have more energy and resources to make more content. thank you to the devs for this game, it really enjoy it, thanks for all your hard work

What I love is that the world within the game seems so much bigger than what you see. Its atmospheric, dystopian Tokyo feel is served by an excellent soundtrack and unique narrative. Driving around was not only an entertaining part of the gameplay, it gave me an opportunity to explore the nooks and crannies of a city I had never really seen the likes of before.
I think the developer deserves kudos for building a universe that is stylistically reminiscient of Blade Runner without being trite, and filling it was sufficiently interesting things to do to capture my attention for a few hours. With some refinement and a little more time to incubate, the game would be a really hefty competitor in the cyberpunk genre. It has solid foundations and delivers on the intrigue of its concept, especially for an indie game. The uphill part of the battle is building a convincing in-game universe, even if it is a little sparse here.

A Bewitching Revolution
The epitome of simple and minimalist visuals coupled with a direct dialogue that forms the story. That story though, is quite short, just keep that in mind and consider the message more than the length of the game play. The game play itself is fun and, in keeping with the visuals, simple. It might seem cliché, but the feel of the game is akin to Minecraft, but simpler.
p.s.: If you feel a sense of wanting for more after finishing the game, take the game into reality. Because, games are an escape from the work you do. Volunteer in your community, organize at work, make the future you want to live in.

This is a game that is less like a game. It’s not a story either. It’s more like an atmospheric theatre where the player interacts with the city.
Honestly, while some of the interpretations of communism and socialism seem too surrealistic to me, the whole concept is a nice thing. Being free to play is also a part that serves the theme I suppose.
As for the gameplay, the minimalist graphics made me a bit confused at first, but after an hour (when I finished the game) I got used to it. Still, I would advice contours be added (or an option to turn contours on).

Vengeful Heart
Great cyberpunk VN with a heavy, HEAVY emphasis on the ‘punk’, Vengeful Heart was a brisk, thrilling read! The aesthetic was great, the music is great, the whole novel is criminally underrated. The plot is exactly what I was hoping for and even more pulse-pounding than I expected. It’s not perfect - a couple of the plot beats fell a little flat, like Little Jimmy and the two romantic options' jealousy - but overall it was a worthwhile read.
Don’t pass this one up!

What Am I in For?
Vengeful Heart (VH) is a visual novel set in a futuristic dystopian world. The game is purely a reading experience, with only one choice players make close to the very end of the game. Outside of megacities, life is very difficult due in large part to the lack of water and heavily polluted desert sands. Players follow the story of a hydraulics engineer turned activist leader by the name of Josephine Lace, formerly employed by Nepthys, the largest water company in an unnamed city. She ends up losing both her home and job, then soon after begins her crusade against the many injustices her former boss slowly enacted over the course of the story.

2020: THE RIDE
I hated 2020, but this I loved. It’s beautiful in a surreal sort of way, though I feel bad saying that, given the grim subject matter. Still, it’s free, and I agree with the statement at the end. Nobody asked to get on the super fun ride 2020 was. But each of us gets to choose if we stay on.
Works fine on the Oculus Rift, I noticed tiny bits of lag, but I also hook my headset to a potato.

It’s an interesting story , esp if you have any interest in IT tech. As a VR experience fell completely flat I’m afraid. Paid £5.50 but felt lik eit’s a £1.50 product (if you have that tech interest). All of what;s covered and more you can gleam from wikipedia if its the story you want. If it’s the VR experience that’s drawing you in there are soo many more that will wow you for the same or less money.

Silicon Dreams: Cyberpunk Interrogation
Thoughtful, provoking, atmospheric and wonderfully written. The premise may be nothing new but I felt a genuine anxiety being judge, jury and executioner.
Silicon Dreams is a cyberpunk, futuristic courtroom for androids.
You are D-0527, an interrogation model specially designed with an extended emotional range, better equipped to detect deviancy in other androids, and humans.
– Real player with 10.9 hrs in game
In the year 2065, we are an interrogator android, owned by a robotics company Kronos to question various androids and determine if they’re operating correctly or if they’ve become deviant. At the end of each interrogation, we get to fill out a report with crucial information that can affect our reputation with the company, and then we decide what to do with the android - whether to release them, to erase their memory, or to decommission them completely.

I played twice with it.
So for those who insist this part of the review included, up, left, right down arrows Enter and ESC controls and there you have it good.
The dev there got out of the classical soft 2D look toward a more 3D cold aesthetic where he both had more control and ownership of his characters and action. Since what happens globally, I guess it was his best bet to narrate a very complex story that casts an interesting foreshadowing into the future of our freedom, privacy and how much a government can use external events to their advantage to lock down a society and turn politics into plain accepted tyranny. It does into the same charms of the Incitement series, City of Chains and Outrage but in the Pegasus-5 mature universe. You got to check upon the morale of your crew members and have the option to romance most of them very inclusively, but without artificially changing them into your own likings and orientations, which makes them pretty realistic in the versimilitude of the game universe.

Mind Scanners
Mind Scanners is a fun and enjoyable game. It has a lot of interesting interactions with the people you encounter within the game. The gadgets are fun, but you really have to be strategic when using each one. By that, I mean you have to watch out for the patient’s stress & personality levels while ensuring that you can clear out as many insanity points in one go. Although the story is well-put together, some of the endings could’ve been better. Hopefully, there’s a possible expansion/DLC in the future. For the Normality and the Mind!

Honestly a super interesting game with puzzle like gameplay I actually enjoy. rare for me to like puzzle games, so this was a bit of a surprise to me, but the story was just so good I couldn’t put it down! I just wanted to know more!

Justice.exe
Welcome, you’re an attorney and the year is 2279. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence have come a long way. Sentience is now prolific among every day AI and your food processor or washing machine has agency. The question is whether they should have some rights, or any rights at all.
Pry into complex cases, facing controversies and moral ambiguities of Sentient Artificial Intelligence. Your AI clients need you to win for the sake of sentient AI and it’s not a matter of right and wrong; it’s a matter of how much you can bend the truth before. Don’t worry, justice is proprietary and truth is stretchy.
Gather information, speak to witnesses and prepare for court. Using the evidence you’ve gathered and arguments you’ve formulated you’ll need to fight to defend your client. The courtroom is not a quaint atmosphere, you can try diligently barraging jury with hard facts and evidence, or cunningly pull their heart strings, either way manupilation comes with the territory. You have to tweak how you speak according to who will decide your client’s future.
Thankfully you’ll have your trusty AttorneyOS to do a lot of the grunt work. They’ll read, write and respond to emails for you, get you in touch with leads and organise your case files, but ultimately the case is in your hands.
So what are you waiting for? Fire up your computer and log on to the Justice-X servers.
Your clients are waiting.
Shadow Council: The Puppeteers
First of all: I do this Review especially for the developers, since I hope they will read this and respond, like they did with other Reviews.
The game has a pretty cool idea and really nice concept, however there are some slight issues or rather.. inconveniences?
For example there is a common lack of transparancy, you really should get much more information about who supports you, how much money do you get, what will exactly happen if youdo this or that - a good idea to achieve this would be the implentation of things like “military support-23% conservatives support 75% socialist support 1%”.

Honestly the game has died, for $15 this is very unfilled and doesn’t have content. The game is basically a wait along that pits you against a country (or more fittingly it’s many different provinces which I will admit have a good tid bit of backstory) fighting to get the people to uprise against their government. The game is a shell, a husk waiting to be filled by content like (not story) mechanics, game speeds, a pause option, and other valid criticisms made by the buyers of this.
And if the developer answers this, I have seen you comment and try to communicate with the community but honestly I have not seen many updates actually be fulfilled and action being done. Please, if you want to improve your game then stop using the good ol' politician’s response of promising and waiting for it all to blow right over.
