Midwintar

Midwintar

Midwintär catches you at Khazar’s Pass.

You shelter in a cave as the days and nights grow long and cold,

as the snow seals you in and as the world darkens.

Midwintär is a narrative-driven stealth action game inspired by medieval horror folklore that combines careful tactical planning with fast-paced arcade execution and innovative gossip mechanics. Play and switch between three protagonists - a werewolf, a vampire, and a moon witch - to exact your revenge on a vicious religious cult.

Off-Kilter Sunny Horror On the outside, Midwintär takes place among sunny, medieval villages populated by friendly, hard-working, and devoted inhabitants. Stay overnight, though, and you might be horrified to reveal the true nature of their sacred rituals. The world of Midwintär is gruesome and dark but also funny.

Sun / Moon Gameplay Cycle Midwintär features a 3-minute day-night cycle that changes your abilities. You must use your daytime skills such as lock-picking or spreading rumours among villagers to best prepare the terrain for the night-time havoc when you transform into a bloodthirsty, overpowered monster.

Gossip Mechanics Each villager in Midwintär has their own suspicion-meter you can influence by gossiping and spreading rumors about other villagers, and there is also a panic-meter that changes the AI behaviour of all villagers on the map. You can use this against villagers - hide the firewood to lure the lumberjack into the night, kill him near the chapel to incriminate the priest, and later spread rumours on seeing him covered in blood. He’ll be hanged in no time!

Three Playable Characters You will be able to choose, play and switch between three playable characters - a werewolf, a vampire, and a moon witch - each of whom possesses a distinctive skillset and boasts a different playstyle.

Non-linear Skilltree You will be able to customize the skillset and playstyle of each character by opting to complete alternate missions in levels, which will reward you with a special bonus skill of your choice. Will your werewolf hone his terrifying howl, or will he become one with the wolf-packs of the forest?

Co-Op Multiplayer Midwintär will feature a split-screen and a local multiplayer for up to three players, enabling all three characters to fight together.

The corrupt and self-righteous religious institution Oblique Order is attempting to destroy the peaceful cohabitation of people and magical creatures in the pagan world of Midwintär, and enforce their order by uniting people against the powers of the wild. You must stop them before they exterminate your kind…

Midwintär starts off as a revenge story that slowly shifts into an exploration about our relationship to the unknown, and about the limits of what we can hope to control or understand.

WEREWOLF

The main protagonist is the werewolf, a former disciple of the Oblique Order, disillusioned and out for vengeance. During the game, he is guided by the voice of Midwintär, an ancient force of nature. His skills revolve around spreading panic and using brute force.

VAMPIRE

The vampire, once a powerful force of the night, his might now reduced by the spells of men. He cannot cross running water nor enter houses uninvited, but his power is in his allure - he can enthrall people to do his bidding, or forge blood links to ensure undying loyalty.

MOON WITCH

Then, there is the moon witch. Saved just before she was burned at the stake, she had felt on her skin the terror of order, and wishes to rid the world of their influence. Her skills revolve around misdirecting suspicion at others and using concoctions to alter their behaviour.

“Attending the Masked Meeting, you overhear their plans - they have already set all things in motion.”

Is your cat a murderhobo?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cDk-cDNiI

If you want to be spoiled, go ahead and watch my video. Fatal Paws puts you into the role of a jaded teacher who picks up a stray cat from another planet. Dive into Pokemon style cat-vs-human fights in-between an overly dramatic plot that makes about as much sense as a bad horror movie. As a tribute to Fickle Sickle’s cat, it’s touching. As a game to buy, I can’t recommend it. But if you decide to, there is a cat video waiting for you at the end.

Cheap, Challenging and Fun but lacks Developer support

Positives

  • Game Cards

  • Not one game/redo is the same (objectively you have to defend the scientist/s so they spawn at different locations)

  • Fun and short your not thrown into massive amounts of HUD

Negatives

  • Bugs (as of writing this review)

*Zombies become immortal after a certain wave, 7 10 or 11

*Zombies AI paths wrongly, get glitched walking/stuck against walls, enter aggro/running mode even tho object isn’t in line of sight and is over the other side of the wall

I love the attempt on a fresh take on tower defense. We really need those attempts. Sadly, I don’t think it worked out very well this time.

Most commonly seen in tds you steadily build up your defenses and get stronger as you go. It’s about composition and timing.

But here it’s about losing all your stuff as slowly as you can. I know it’s a vague point of critique, but the constant feeling of impending doom; it’s not if you’ll lose but when, bundled with some pretty hectic mechanics. I feel scrolling around the map clicking loot-boxes before they disappear(!) is disappointingly boring, if not straight up awful gameplay.

Total surprise hit out of nowhere

Yesterday morning i’d never even heard of this game. Today, i’m addicted and considering seeking professional help

Real player with 21.6 hrs in game

You know what? This is actually pretty awesome.

Thought I’d take a gamble on it since it’s cheap and it hasn’t disappointed.

I’ve never played anything like it.

You collect for items to get cash while spending cash as ammo! Crazy!

Not a finished game by any means, but it’s early access so fair enough.

Rough and ready (as they state) but I’d highly recommend it.

Hyped for the updates - interested to see where this goes.

Hotel Afterlife

BUILD YOUR HOTEL

Manage your dream hotel from the ground up and in any way you want - raise torture rooms, corridors, staff rooms, and guest rooms. You can use professionally made furniture, various attractions and torture devices, which will surely satisfy even the most demanding of customers.

There is also a store at your disposal, where you can buy further improvements and ornaments for the building. Money? In hell, nobody has heard of money. The sins of your customers are the currency around here!

TAKE CARE OF YOUR GUESTS

At Hotel Afterlife, guests don’t just show up – YOU must reach out to them first! Recruit and send your reapers after lost souls, and when they seize them – purify them of sin by adjusting the attractions offered by the hotel to their unique preferences.

Surely, you would prescribe a different purification treatment for the soul of an emo-pessimist (solitary full of fluffy cats works quite well) and a greedy politician (How many times will he need to starve to achieve the peace of mind? Find out!).

Make sure that your guests are always taken care of by a well-chosen staff, maintain high standards of torture and remember that each purified soul leaves its sins with your wallet – it is in your best interest to develop the greatest resort in your corner of hell!

DEVELOP

You have been selected to manage Afterlife hotels! You will start small, in the first circle of hell, but your goals are ambitious. Conquer the entire underworld; maintain the prestigious status of your hotel by enhancing its appearance, making sure the service never gets tired and guests leave purified and happy.

I made a guide for switching to English, but I wouldn’t bother. I’ve played some machine-translated games and managed to enjoy them, but at least I could usually puzzle out what they meant. This is too incoherent to be playable, and shouldn’t have been released as available in English in this state.

On the other hand my eight year old found English like “eat chicken game then optimize performance” and choosing between “Dream come true” and “Happy to rude” utterly hilarious.

His input: “It’s rubbish English, isn’t it?” and a lot of laughter. He is right.

Slaughterhouse

Slaughterhouse

Fun game with a fun concept. It has some bugs, but that is expected of any game that is still in development. the creators clearly put effort into making it somewhat realistic (2 shots to the head to kill a monster, 3 shots to the body). They also added somewhat of a story. Looking forward to seeing where the developers go with this one.
