Moncage

Moncage

Great visual puzzles.

And not only visual.

Admirably crafted, Moncage really makes you think inside the box, and is challenging enough that I had to take a couple of breaks to figure out solutions.

Some reviewers might confuse you by claiming, in the same sentence, that the game is too short and that they used the hint system.

Unsurprisingly, if you solve all puzzles by yourself, i.e., if you play the game, the playing time doubles.

The only missing feature is a post-game chapter selector.

It would let us hunt for our missed secrets without the need to replay the entire game.

Masterfully crafted puzzle game that takes place on five sides of a cube as you piece together the story through interconnecting scenes. Moncage is a relaxing perspective-based puzzle game with pleasant visuals, touching story told without words, and relaxing soundtrack. There is an alternate ending that requires players to find all hidden photos and replay the story a second time while keeping an eye out for ways “to think outside the cube”. About 2 to 5 hours to complete depending on how often you use the hint system or unlocking achievements. A must try for puzzle enthusiast [10/10]

Bed Survival!

This was really good actually, the dialogue was pretty good, liked light hearted stuff a lot, and the darker stuff was good too. Definitely worth $0.99 to say the least. The game takes 2 hours for that price fyi, not bad at all.

The game is just so horrible that I will not even play if the developer pays me to do so.

1. The story is just so stupid and stupid long, 75% story time and minimum play time.

2. Stupid long story time is not bad enough, they even trying to give you stupid dumb story. The ending is just, “What happened ?”

3. This “thing” costs RM15.5 … Just how did they priced this “Thing”

4. Lousy gameplay as you only need to apply what you learnt twice…Literally

Bought this game as the developer’s first game is amazing…But this….Just don’t buy it

Mercury Abbey

【1】Retro pixel style with impressive lighting and shading

The game uses pixel sprites, with characters drawn in a classic American comicbook style. Fossil halls, greenhouses, hedge mazes, botanical gardens, underground cave systems…scenes appear one after another, presenting a visual feast. Unique lighting and shading technology creates an engaging atmosphere and a wonderfully immersive experience.

【2】 Classic cultural elements meet a unique worldview

The game embraces the spirit of early suspense novels, interspersing classic cultural elements throughout the story. Adopting an overhead world view, the world is composed of anthropomorphic animal (furry) characters; the social structures, folklore, and ethnic relations of this world are all waiting to be discovered by players!

【3】Engaging story

Strange things seem to happening one after another at the mysterious mountain sanitarium, and the curse of the alchemist family is spreading. Legends, midnight societies and ghostly patrons are just a few of the curiosities to be investigated, but maybe the mystery runs deeper than once thought. Gather clues and delve into the mystery to discover exactly where this story will go…

【4】 Lots of items and achievements to collect

Discover a large number of collectable elements along the way, including character information, folklore, objects, copied notes, photos, and even intercepted gossip. The game also features a variety of achievements, with certain choices and actions unlocking them. Fortune favors the bold.

Welcome To… Chichester 2 - Part II : No Extra Regrets For The Future

Welcome To… Chichester 2 - Part II : No Extra Regrets For The Future

Great cg visuals.

Great music,

Good tempo for gameplay, with scenes changing often and a lot of intrigue and plotlines, though bordering on a bit much leaving the player slightly confused with everything going on with various characters having their own agenda’s.

Reply required with different character & choices made to discover more of the above-mentioned. (single run-through you’ll likely only get around 25% of the achievements unlocked).

There’s no specific or right path required, explore from various angles to discover more of the overall story content. Knowledge of prior games in series not needed (unless needing more in-depth knowledge of things mention in the intro summary).

Welcome to… Chichester 2 - Part II: No Extra Regrets for the Future

Developer: Triority Interactive Novels

Publisher: Triority Interactive Novels

Pros:

1. The story maintains its chaotic humor and it also looks more into the background of Grendel Jinx and the main character, even giving information of the protagonist’s previous line of work before he became an agent of The Phoenix Custodians. It also acts as a buildup for the next chapter.

Battle Star

Battle Star

I played almost 40h and want to keep going. As a f2p I like that you can get all the characters without spending any money. The graphics are good, sounddesign is catching and the turnbased combat is right up my ally. The only thing I might add is the option to change gear during missionselection. Other than that I would also like to see a male character who talks more (srly girls are not in shortage but where are the men?). That aside, the combat is exciting and story interesting (at least for me). I do love me a good grind (I did spend more of less 70% of my playtime grinding ressources) but that might not be the case for everyone. You can take it ez though. I recommend you try it out for yourself. Can’t wait for more exciting updates. ;)

Summary: This is a pretty awesome game if you like SRPGs!

Story: It exists. It’s not great, it’s not terrible, just whatever. Pretty generic anime-esque stuff, a group of female fighters trying to take down the evil bad guys.

Artstyle/UI: Very good! The characters are clean and distinct, the attacks are flashy without being over-the-top. UI is tight and shiny, and easy to navigate. It’s anime style in the artwork, but chibi “big head” characters in the actual gameplay. It’s not distracting though, it’s very cute. Some character artwork is sexualized with huge cleavage, but compared to a lot of games of this stripe, it’s not over-the-top. Many characters are just badass/cool without being scantily clad.

ISOLAND: The Amusement Park

ISOLAND: The Amusement Park

I love point and click games, and Isoland games do it really well. Puzzles can be very difficult to solve, but the overall style is great. Each game has a theme, Isoland 3 theme is science fiction and Isoland 4 Surrealism.

Real player with 8.2 hrs in game

If you have played any of the other Isoland games then you will love this addon too. Beautifully drawn and challenging puzzles (but not over the top) it will keep the best of us entertained for a few hours. Excellent value for money and highly recommended!
