AR-K
I received this game as a part of some bundle I bought way back.
I want to like this game. I wish the development team the best. But unfortunately I cannot recommend it, not even for $8 USD.
There are good, or at least decent, things here. There is some humor, including physical humor, that works. The actual voice lines are mostly fine, and what faults there are there in this audio itself are much more likely on the VA director and/or scriptwriters. Barring one jarring segment of lines I noticed in the 2nd episode where something obviously went wrong in recording or compression or something, but the team decided to use it anyway, which… fits with some of my suspicions about how out-of-time/energy/money they were feeling at the time.

AR-K may be a study in how to have an okay story, okay graphics and good voice-acting and still come out with a bad game - soo manyy problems.
This title consists of the first two episodes of the game, “Gone with the Sphere” and “The Girl Who Wasn’t There”, and the second feels way better than the first. Still, we see a lot of beginner’s mistakes in the handiwork. Basically every aspect of the game is flawed in some way or another.
Note: Review was rewritten to fit Steam’s transparent character limit.

The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain
If you are a fan of good old fashioned point and click, inventory-based adventure games, this is really one for you. It is funny, well written and has excellent graphics and voice acting. The puzzles are challenging, but not too difficult and well integrated in the story, as they should be in a true adventure game.
With all those walking simulators around, they dont make many games in this genre anymore. I think it is importent that we support developers, who still make games like this one.

So a few months ago I played “The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain” on Switch and thought it was a good little adventure game. And then one day, the developer asked if I wanted to try the Steam version and I thought that was really nice. Most of my points from the Switch version are still there such as:
-Tells you exactly what you you have to do and item hints are very clear. Like saying looks like Auto so it’s one of the keys to get him back
-As amateur as it is, I find the art style charming
-Has a final boss.

Lancelot’s Hangover: The Quest for the Holy Booze
This game is a barrel bursting with absolute nonsense. And this is why it’s terrific.
The art style is simplistic but serves the humour very well, the puzzles aren’t hard, until the last chapter where it’s more of a “How much do you remember of the game you’ve played and the locations you’ve visited” luckily the game cuts off branches you don’t need to revisit so it doesn’t become annoying.
It’s a laugh and a half and definitely worth a look.

Do you have a sense for black humor? Then you have to play Lancelot’s Hangover. That seems familiar to me… anyway I would say even if you don’t have a sense for black humor you have to play it because it’s a great sexy adventure game. Everything is alright. I can’t complain. It reminded me a bit of my childhood when I was in the monastery and in the church. At that time there were unfortunately no naked women in the monastery. It also reminds me of Marilyn Manson when he says: I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me. Lancelot should sing that, the sexy knight with beer (I recommend the Bavarian beer).

Log Jammers
Log Jammers is basically pong with throwing axes and log rolling which is exactly as intense as it sounds. Add in a series of power-ups that force you to go right up to the metaphorical net or risk a super charged challenger, and you have something that can only be described as frenzied.
That sort of fast-paced, reaction-based craziness is always going to be more fun with friends, but the single player tournament mode has plenty to offer too. Each character has an off the wall motivation and an equally off-color happily ever after waiting for them at the end of a successful tournament. But just like a multiplayer match, you’ll have to be focused and quick to get there. After all, you’re always only three good throws away from victory, yours or your opponent’s.

Kinda like pong, but not - in fact, it’s full of way more RAD than pong could ever have. Lumberjacks, bears, skeletons and more, couch fighting in waters, sawmills, underworld; crazy frustrating fun!
