The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything
BEFORE YOU BUY:
-Is the game is on sale?
-Do you like Point and Click Adventure Games?
-You are in the mindset for something different?
IF YOU SAID YES TO MOST: Then try the demo before buying it anyway. It’s a surreal PnC-AG that needs to be tried.
IF YOU SAID NO TO MOST: Play the demo anyway. Even if you bought the game, the demo is right in the full game and is worth a play.
Crunched Review:
–Developer Front Page BS: None (Well, the joke about white blood cells was closer to a simile, but that’s nitpicking)

I kind of loved this game, I think this game must be one of my guilty pleasures! I enjoy point and click adventures and I hadn’t played a point and click game for a while. So maybe that is why I really loved this one so much.
I think this game is original and unique with an equally unique and really effective art style. The story is fun and satirical, but in an intelligent way. It feels very well written and crafted and not just random silly ideas thrown together in a rush.
Point and click games can get very frustrating as it is very slow to walk from one area to another and to another to try different things. As this game is short, it does not get too frustrating.

Lucifer Awaits, Chump!
Pros:
Highly addictive and I found myself lost in time a bit the 2nd time I was playing it.
The Notes can be super hilarious (If you have a dark sense of humor)
Mod support to add your own characters (added few Horror Villains)
Sprite animations are excellent
Cons:
Wish it had more color
While the background music sounds a bit creepy it can be a bit dull in long play sessions
Repetitive sins (mod support option sorta fixed that for me however)
Bugs:
The game soft locked 2 times when i exited in full screen mode.

A great little game that allows you to hand out judgement on souls! once you work out what you are supposed to be doing but that’s part of the fun.
The game runs well and has a very dark sense of humour, with some LOL comments in the victims bio’s, a lot of thought has obviously gone into this game.
The game uses very little PC resources and I found myself jumping in and out to judge the damned….. I mean souls during coffee breaks, much better than minesweeper!
Overall, at such a low price it is worth having a look at, be careful though, you may get slightly addicted!

Nightmare Puppeteer
If you haven’t forgot what art, creativity and more importantly having an imagination meant when you were a child then you’ll understand the value and importance of Nightmare Puppeteer. It’s the genius brainchild of the genius M dot Strange, an artist well ahead of his time that hasn’t forgot what it truly means to be an artist.

The Zodiac Trial
If you like murder mystery or death game visual novels, this is absolutely worth your time. I would go as far as to say it is deceptively good, I tried the demo and had mixed feelings but figured “hey, I love death games, I want to see this one through”. And you know what? Basically as soon as I left the demo content and got to the real game, the game made me very glad I did purchase it.
Quite a few characters during the intro feel… annoying. Kidnapped and in a terrifying situation, nearly half of the group seem to be way too optimistic in various ways. Having an optimistic character is one thing, but half the cast felt like idiots, basically. Then leaving the demo and getting to the routes, you see how these characters act when the stakes are there, and as you start learning more about these characters past their initial impressions, and realize the intro is pretty seriously flanderizing them, probably partly so you instantly get each character’s gimmicks. Eventually you get to the point where you start realizing that some of these optimists are really already scheming through how they present themselves to the others at the start, and most characters come off as far more interesting and unique once you get to see more depth to them.

10/10. Lane Hawkins, the writer/director/producer of this game (saw it in the end credits), is all kinds of clever and passionate, and has blessed us with this gem of a game. The rest of his team have done great work as well, obviously, as aspects of this game aside from the writing also elevate it to a level of greatness it otherwise would not achieve. I do not personally deem many games to be a 10/10 lightly, either, being a pretty darn snooty elitist of a gamer who only holds games in such high regard that delight me virtually the entire time I’m playing them and leave me brimming with joy for hours afterward. It just makes me sad that Steam only allows for “Recommended” and “Not Recommended” ratings, because merely giving The Zodiac Trial a thumbs up is a travesty.

Creep
Creep is a 2D platform game that takes place inside a struggled person’s inner world represented as a worm world. You control the worm form of the same person as he shows why this world exists and how it’s like to live there.
I have no friends and life is full of obstacles
Yes, it is hard to say the other worms in the world are friendly, and there are lots of other dangers you will encounter. There is no one else other than you to cope with all these. Your only weapon is your wit against this crooked world until you reach the point to hell with it. This won’t just go forever like that. Your relationship with other worms will change as you progress.
I once loved too
Throughout the story, you will occasionally visit some memories or analogical mini levels with different gameplay than the main part of the game. These levels will unlock new abilities the worm can use. These abilities are not mere powers. They are part of the actual character progression itself and they will start to change the main gameplay and story.
STRAYLIGHT
The heart of this game is its locomotion. It is intuitive in the beginning, yet has some intricacies you can learn to use later in the game. I am somewhat sensitive to other types of VR movement, but this one did not affect me at all. Would be a good introductory game to folks new to VR.
I quite enjoy the aesthetic of the game. You do feel quite alone and you can lose yourself in the visuals and music while casually hopping around the orbs. The level design is nice in that you can either slowly navigate while enjoying the sites, or try to rocket through it as fast as possible, if that’s your thing.

Full disclosure: I know one of the devs (so my expectations were pretty low… :P j/k), and I probably wouldn’t have picked it up otherwise, but MAN am I glad I did!
This game is super fun! Launching myself at top speed through the levels and whipping around turns is exhilarating, and despite the crazy acceleration I never once felt motion sick.
While it might seem a little short at the moment if you’re just trying to get to the end of each level, going back to collect all the cubes is a fun challenge, and trying to reach the top of the leaderboard on each level has eaten up more of my time than I care to admit. Mastering the movement and physics is rewarding and finding routes and shortcuts through each level really made me feel clever.

-KLAUS-
-KLAUS- : I’m addicted to this story now
Klaus is the first game by La Costa studios depicting Klaus who tries to find who he is and why he’s here. With first time releases always come hiccups so has La Costa managed this and made an instant banger first try? In my opinion yes, incredibly so! While it’s not perfect it’s done a remarkable job. Either read the full review or just take a quick look below.
Pros:
✅ Incredible story, one of the best I’ve seen in a long time

Klaus
Overview
Klaus is an endearing and unusual puzzle/platformer that has just the right amount of difficulty to reward you for your efforts. It’s bursting with charm and boasts an unusual story telling system. The plot unfolds through a series of small and often humorous one-line sentences displayed within the game play area. Whilst a lot of these statements are jokes and flippant remarks, they also slowly reveal the story behind Klaus and his search for the truth behind his origins.

Cat’s Menace
This game was a lot of fun to play in front of my stream audience, however playing it by myself without friends would have been a rather miserable experience, I’m afraid. The game has no save or checkpoint system, so when you have a Game Over, you have to start the entire game over from the beginning. The game operates by having you assign a cat to a task and making choices to decide whether the cats succeed or fail in the mission. The choices have no logic behind them, so it’s a coin flip in deciding if you lose the cat you assigned or not. Also, it doesn’t seem to matter which cats you assign to the mission. They’re essentially just very cute life counters.

So, I’m going to be honest and say, I LOVE CATS…
Now, when I then looked at the “Similar to games you’ve played: The Witcher 3 and Portal 2” I was ready for this game to BLOW. MY. MIND.
Spoiler alert: It did not…
The other reviews are spot on:
-
English translation is bad, even to the point where some things doesn’t make sense
-
It’s game over pretty easily and you have no idea what would be the right answer to the events you’re prompted with
-
When you get a game over, you start over from the beginning - so it becomes a pattern of blindly guessing what’s right and having to remember every right answer to get further in the game. Which gets boring and annoying very fast.

Death On A Street Corner: Overdose Simulator
Excellent. Buy it. Sit down for less than an hour of your busy life and enjoy it.
The decision to convey this message through a game, a format distinguished by the expectation to make decisions and influence circumstances, is a meaningful light to shine on the fallacy of “personal responsibility” in poverty and drug abuse. Moreover, Death on a Street Corner’s depiction of the working world’s co-option of family, as an institution, really conveys the inter-generational regime of fear, guilt and expectation that is created while we judge ourselves into submission and while naïve, rich kids and finance demi-gods look on, alienated and looking to be entertained.

It is incredibly depressing.
I really love the way the story is put together.
I wish there was some more interaction. I don’t mean that I should have any choices, just a few more things to do.
Definitely worth the price tag and will stick with you for a while after you play.
