DEDstress
Oh man oh man. What can I say about this game?
Overall, I would say this is the Dark Souls of horror escape room games, with their well thought out game design and intent. Each checkpoint gets harder and harder, as it becomes more demanding of your attention and memory (and patience too). Every time you die, you will become frustrated, and may be tempted to rage quit, and yet you find yourself wanting to just try it “one more time” to beat this hellish game. But you will become better and better at it (whether it’s avoiding those doll-obsessed zombies or rolling doctors who turn into logs), and ultimately, when you finally finish it, you will feel a deep satisfaction.

One of the most, original, challenging and fun games I have played in a long time.
DEDstress is a very fast paced single player game with very high energy. Having to solve puzzles and use my brain while being chased by some crazed nurse is something I have not felt playing anything else. It isn’t horror, but it comes close to a panic attack simulator.
This game has given me heart problems.
69/10 would panic spray again.

Maze of Memories
I finished all of these mazes in 3 days (an hour a day). I would put on my music and mindlessly play through the mazes. It was a nice way to wind down after a long day.

Among the Innocent: A Stricken Tale
Surprisingly good. The game feels a bit like what you’d get if “Scratches” and “Dear Esther” had a love child. The game marries the best features of both to create a rare style of exploration-based adventure game that you don’t see very often. (I wish we saw games like this constantly).
The first half of the game is very, very strong. Fantastic atmosphere, a real sense of exploration and wonder, an excellent union of beauty with a sense of the decrepit, and an impied mystery left entirely to your own imagination – you’ll most likely start to ask yourself, “What the hell happened here?” Answering that question is arguably the main plot, but is left entirely to the player. In terms of finishing the game, you can completely ignore that aspect of the game and focus only on the puzzles instead. This gives a true touch of realism to the game, as you’re FAR from hit over the head with the story. It’s fantastically there, but the option exists to go about your business nearly oblivious to it.

Response to developers below:
Very disappointing game. There isn’t actually much to do and not many places to explore and the tasks are tedious and annoying with no real point to any of it.
The ending made zero sense. So all in all a waste of time sadly.. I liked the feel of it and had real hope for this as a game but as I was putting nails into a bit of wood for no good reason, I realised I was not really having fun.
I hoped the ending would bring it all together, but it was just a boring slog round a mine then a pointless cut scene. Not worth the money.

Demon Slayer Akagi
Just as advertised: a solid, classic arcade-styled game; the sort that will kick your butt at first, but becomes very satisfying and replayable as you get better and learn to handle its unique and tricky mechanics with all three of the different selectable ability sets.
Jammin' soundtrack with simple but cute visuals and character designs as well.

DISCLAIMER: I received a key to bug test this game a few days before release.
Short Version: If you like Touhou 1, then you’ll probably like this game.
Long Version: Demon Slayer Akagi is a bullet-hell breakout arcade game where you control Akagi in her quest to free girls from the control of a demon. The core gameplay revolves around propelling a magic ball onto tiles to slowly break them down, but, unlike many Breakout-like games, the tiles will shoot back at you, and you will have to avoid those in addition to your own ball. Additionally, there is no penalty for missing your ball, so you can drop the ball as necessary to avoid incoming projectiles. Just make sure that you don’t get hit by it yourself, since it counts as a projectile.
