Nightfall
A fun mafia-inspired game to play with a lobby of friends.
The different roles and ability unlocks give way for a TONNE of play styles and strategies.

An interesting take on the social deception genre, the various equipment unlocks you get from completing quests (or on game start depending on settings), add a lot of depth to the game.
Quests have their own minigame which on completion give you equipment points that allow you to unlock things such as smoke screen, invisiblity or boots of speed.
One of my favourites is the ability to impersonate another player entirely for the round.
I have always enjoyed each game of this I have played, and it is only in early access!

Karma City Police
After playing all the content available in Early Access twice, I asked myself if I should do an analysis on the available content and if I should recommend the game to others and the answer is absolutely yes!
The pixelart of Karma City Police is very beautiful and crafted. Impressive how only a developer can deliver a competent job.
I really enjoyed the two main aspects of the game: resource management, where you must make your decisions wisely to take care of the population of Karma City, and the pinball mechanics in the clashes that makes a perfect contrast to what was presented previously, moments of more action.

Shaping up to be a really good game. Only took me about 15 minutes to complete (I forgot to exit, hence the hour and a half playtime). I enjoyed my time though, the premise of mixing a pinball battle system with the 911 operator role is an innovative one and I think will be really cool once it’s more fleshed out. A “shake” feature would be nice during battle, with maybe a tilt feature too so you don’t abuse it too much to hit your target. Some of the text overflows from the boxes, and there are some grammatical/spelling errors (off the top of my head “you loose” comes to mind). Native gamepad support would be great too, or at least the ability to remap the controls. I played using JoyToKey though and it worked fine. I enjoyed both aspects of the game, so really my only complaint is that it’s too short! Hope to see this updated soon.

Who is the Liar?
I loved the art direction chosen for this game. It combines pieces that look like they came out of the board game Clue with beautiful, more realistic 3D scenarios and comics iconographies. The game also has an engaging story and charming characters.
With all of these elements at the developer’s disposal, the game practically begs for more content. Since it is still in early access, it is sure to develop into a great game.
Very promising!

A fun game, very well produced. The visuals are incredible, combining cartoon 2D and stunning 3D. A humorous narrative, it reminds me of the movie Knives Out with its crazy eccentric family. Looking forward to play the next stories in the final version.

Night Cascades
Diane Carter never expected her folklore degree to get her a job offer from the local police department, but when a rash of occult-themed fires sets the city on edge, she is called in as a special consultant on esoteric religion to help find the culprit.
There’s just one problem: the woman she’s assigned to work with. She’s cocky, beautiful, and far too familiar.
Can Diane and Jackie overcome the obstacles of their past and find the truth?

Bolt Riley, A Reggae Adventure
It would be in my best interest to give a glowing review since I want to see this game completed but I need to be honest about the progress made so far. I do realise this game is considered Early Access and I know the budget for this game is pretty small, and you should keep that in mind too (if you end up reading the in-depth review linked below), but ultimately, is it something I would recommend to my friends or the gaming public in its current state? Considering the artwork still needs some touching up, bugs were encountered way too frequently, the UI needs fixing and the first chapter is way too short, probably not. I’m hoping that Adventure Mob will eventually prove me wrong though, as I really want this game to succeed.

Bolt Riley is a well-intentioned but uniformly misguided proof of concept.
Presumably the developers naively underestimated the effort required to achieve the level of quality best suited to their vision. Instead, they opted to release an embarrassingly short and painfully butchered appetizer.
One should be easily inclined to forgive unrefined details in Early Access but no update in over a year severely burdens the game’s credibility.

Faircroft’s Antiques: Home for Christmas
The HOP scenes are interesting and clever. As in all the Faircroft Antique games there is a story to follow–the conversations can get long-winded but you can click through them. The mini puzzles are good…so all in all an enjoyable game if you like this genre.

Faircroft’s Antiques: Treasures of Treffenburg
Good
– Real player with 10.7 hrs in game
This is an almost pure hidden object game, and I’ve been craving exactly that lately. Other than lots of HO scenes (the art is beautiful, and the objects blend with the background nicely without popping out or blending too much), there are some nice basic puzzles. I wholeheartedly recommend this game if you want to play almost pure HOG with a quite interesting story. The main character is also very likeable. Great job, devs, I hope you’ll continue to make games about my favorite conservator, Mia!

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards: Reloaded
85 / 100
First thing to appreciate with Leisure Suit Larry (LSL) is that it is a game that originally was created in 1987! The gameplay in this ‘Reloaded’ version is essentially the same, with updated graphics, interface & full voice/audio support.
Being from an earlier generation, the gameplay can feel basic by modern standards and there is no real direction from a story perspective to guide you either. You only know that you need to guide Larry (the 40yr old virgin) to find love. With limited guidance, the ability to visit any of the locations in any order & a lot of abstract puzzles to solve LSL can leave you scratching your head for long periods.

Killer: Infected One of Us
I think this game is too incomplete for it to be released. There is a lot of bugs and things missing. I understand why the release happened, to get content on what needs to be added and such. But there is simple things that this game should have stayed in beta testing. Not only do I see many problems, it is also is a pay to play when in 25 minutes of “playing” I cant even stay in a lobby with friends, nor can I actually stay in a game. I do not know why this game was created based off Among Us and yet there are simple things needed that would just make 10x times better release if they did at least one more month of testing and fixing and adding in little details for friends to actually stick together. I am not saying its a bad game, I just think it should have stayed in the incubator just a little longer.

Hi, I’m a streamer producing content in Turkey. At the same time, I want to produce content related to this game on my Youtube channel called “Barding Games”. I shot my first video with a team of 6 people and we didn’t have any problems. The scenes, tasks, locations are very creative and beautiful, but when it comes to playing with 12 people, some of us entered the game invisible at the beginning of the game and we could only see them with tiny pixels. No matter what we did, we couldn’t solve the problem. (we closed and opened the game, restarted steam, etc.) Another issue, the difficulty of the missions is too much to be discussed. If you insist on playing the game, you solve the tasks after 6-7 games. However, people who are new to the game and trying to observe never understand the tasks and have difficulty continuing the game. The tasks that we spent minutes to do are endless. Even when the infected person is sluggish, we find it difficult to complete tasks. instant monitored streamer of 3000-4000 in Turkey, I saw they were trying to play in twitch.tv; While watching their past broadcasts, I realized that they could not be patient with the second game. Although the game has great potential, it needs immediate change. Please hear our voices and improve the game. We want to play this game.
