Pestis
This is a really good game, the best game I ever bought on steam for less than 50 cents. The concept is awesome and executed very well with the atmosphere and the theme it all just sort of gets you into the mood of the game and collecting herbs to make and mix potions is just really fun and interesting and there is so many ways to go about how you play the game from saving everyone, killing everyone, killing rats and making bombs to destroy their nest healing your self with potions and eating shrooms to stave off the plague and death. Just all around a cool indie game that you can play on a potato pc or even a calculator and its so cheap and so affordable how can you not get this game? The steam achievements are easy to get and look cool to.

Pestis would be a decent high-score game if it had leaderboards and more maps. Right now it has 1 map and 6 relatively easy achievements, hardly any reason to play it for more than 30 minutes. I think the artwork and animation are decent for what it is. You play as a plague doctor that is trying to cure a small village, and the game certainly captures that sinister atmosphere. The gameplay incorporates the potion mixing mechanic, although the system is very basic. There is some potential for improving your resource management, but without leaderboards I don’t see the appeal. I think if the developer can add at least 2 more locations it would be serviceable (urban area and catacombs perhaps?). It has a partial support for controller despite not being listed on the store page. My F310 works fine, but you can’t rebind it from default state.

Station 17
Pretty good game. Haven’t fully finished yet since I was an idiot and got stuck on a few parts that weren’t even that hard. It has some unexpected scares and the story is also pretty interesting so far. Overall for the price and amount of content the game has I would recommend it. If you want to see some game play you can check out my video below.

Pumpkin Eater
Pumpkin Eater provides an engaging and genuinely unnerving story that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. Well written with great art.

Charlotte
So, to start I wanted to be fully immersed into the game. Ou boy, I have learned a lot and I mean a lot. I read friggin' everything in this game. Charlotte was actually an author who wrote a book about a haunted house that shared some striking similarities to the current game. I read the lyrics to the Sexton Song, it’s about a kid who died or something like that… It was really blurry so I may have misinterpretted it. I read the letter from Eugene Hall to the Chicago Tribune about “Old Maids” and why they even exist. I read the duties of a wife and the duties of a hisband, I actually read two different itterations of it. I read leaves of grass, which is a poem about being yourself. I read all of the Woman Sufferage page and saw the word “Politic” used as a singular whole for the first time in my life. There is a lot to read and none of it really tells you much.
! Charolette was an old school lesbian, who loved Martha before she met Charles, she called Martha her kitten, Charolette was also very sexually active, as described by Charles in one of the last rooms in the game. It never really explains how she dies, trust me I would have known. my guess is she was killed by sheer heart break because he last letter to Martha (who also married a dude but kept her and Charlottes symbolic “sister” braclet) was pretty damn bleak, she was also having a severe existential meltdown over losing her sense of agency I honestly found the game to be more of a time killer judging by the fact I played it for 5 god damn hours practically 6. I felt some of it was kind of LAzy which don’t get me wrong making a game is tough as hell. I did notice however the audio loop, was not seamless and it kind of pulls you out of the feeling of being inside during a thunderstorm. I also noticed, which I am not sure if this is a part of the over all design, the coat rack moves as you progress further in the main house. I’m not sure if that was a sense of symbolism like the bird cage. I checked out everything in the game, not gonna lie the blocks of text in the game were like almost impossible to read. That sense of attention to detail in the game, such as finding these small excerpts and articles and transferring that into a game was a nice little polish. My over all rating after being fully immersed into the game is like a solid 6 out of 10 I would reccomend it to any potential players that are curious about the game but not openly go out of my way to tell a friend to play it.
! If you are curious what the story was, it’s about a woman who went insane due to severe isolation and began whic lead to medical issues. She started to read about Charolette and wanted to follow in Charlottes footsteps in being a sufferagist and gain her own sense of agency but over all the subtext of that was she was coocoo for coacoa puffs. The ending was kind of ambigous and didn’t really do anything other than solidify the fact that she was probably insane. Then again the game promotes the hell out of women who thought of free will and a sense of agency, and that was seen as a bad thing for a woman to do in the eyes of god and stuff. She coulda just been getting played by John who was totally eyeing Jennie by the way. Good job guys.

I wouldn’t call this a horror puzzle. It is mostly a walking sim with one type of puzzle. that is to open doors in order to progress. It isn’t difficult. The people who will most enjoy this game are those who like to explore. There is a lot of reading in this game and every art piece has a description explaining the artist and what they were trying to achieve in their work. If you don’t read everything you will miss the whole point. It is the joy of discovery. I have read The Yellow Wallpaper so I could appreciate what was happening, but if you haven’t read it, this game may encourage you to read the short story, which is so old that it is open source. I really enjoyed this game and relished all of the details in it. On top of that, it was free! Cudos to the creators of this game.

Code World
Greatly recommended if you are learning Python and already know the basic stuff. You inspect code and look for dependencies to figure out the puzzle - just like in real life. Music is relaxing and I like the concept a lot.
If you don’t know any programming language it is pretty hard, though.
Unfortunately, the game doesn’t support the German keyboard layout, so entering special characters like [] () = or : is a bit cumbersome.

This game does not touch upon object-oriented programming, nor does it implement try/except blocks. And that’s perfectly acceptable, since I can only imagine the hassle of trying to add those. But once I found out that things like:
-
string slicing
-
concatenation via multiplication (str * int)
-
the ‘break’ keyword
-
elif
are not supported, my eyebrow finally raised. Then there are the things that are partially implemented (ie. maimed) - tuples and dynamic typing. The Python in here is extremely barebones and so is the interpreter. It provides zero feedback on what went wrong, only that it did. And if you’re not careful and don’t use the Ctrl+C clipboard to store the latest version of your script, a syntax error will wipe all of your progress (by automatically restarting the level).

The Typing of The Dead: Overkill
To start, I’ll answer the question I don’t see many reviews covering: Yes, this game can help you improve your typing, assuming you know your fundamentals (homerow concept, finger placement, etc.). I don’t see it going over very well if you don’t know the basics, but if you do it can be a pretty effective tool, even if it wasn’t exactly designed for this purpose.
I wasn’t a very good typist when I started. I tested myself online after my first game session and was around 18 wpm with frequent glances at the keyboard. I’ve treated playing the game like lessons, set periods on a schedule. I usually play 3 chapters a weeknight, which equals about an hour to an hour and a half long sessions. I started on the lowest difficulty and worked my way up. As I said, this game isn’t exactly designed as a teaching tool. If you suck at typing, you die a lot. I was dying as much as a dozen times a stage early on. You’ll pretty much have to ignore scoring at this point and just focus on progressing.

“WHAT THE FUNK” had to start the review with that phrase from the game it just sum’s it all up really.
OMG I really cant explain in word’s just how funny this game actually is and all the grind house reference’s are easy to see from the grainy camera and bad voice acting to the terrible script its all part of what make’s this game what it is and that put simply in one word is……….AWESOME!!

Water Bears VR
When writing this I have just finished the last challenge levels, 100% completion. I have to say this was the first VR game among the 40+ I had that I really wanted to come back to and finish. In total it took 1.8 hours more or less, it includes some short demo time for friends.
Difficulty: The game itself is quite varied and goes from super simple to mind twistingly hard at the final challenge levels.
VR Implementation: I imagine it was fun even on a screen, but in VR it just works perfectly. You move around the entire level, place pipes in 3D, watch the seemingly volumetric fluid flow. All interface parts are moved into world space and works really well, the water bears can be interacted with using your controllers, there is nice coherent graphical style making the world believable, it runs without issues on a rec spec system.

So I bought this game for my daughter who is about to start second grade. She likes the Vive and I figured that I would get something that would make her use her brain. Obviously I had to test it out to make sure it was age appropriate and so that I could explain to her how to play in case she has problems. So just one puzzle, maybe two.
Yeah, an hour later of playing and I’m already making plans to finish out all the levels while she’s at school so I don’t lose my progress when I reset it for her.

The Museum of ThroughView
There isn’t a lot to this experience but I think it would make a nice intro to what VR can do. The various displays are just scenes that have been given depth by separating the various parts kind of like a pop-up novelty greeting card, but the effect is good. The museum is very nicely done. It only took a few minutes to race around and have a quick look at most of the displays, and I don’t know about replay value, but it does seem like a great way to introduce guests and friends to the ability of VR to take you to places and let you experience some cool stuff. I’ll definitely go back in to see it in more detail.
