Oknytt

Storyline: On the darkest of nights when creatures and spirits rarely seen by man abound, a lost(?) traveler/wanderer is invited to join a campfire and listen to a tale. The tale told by the invisible narrator is about a small insignificant nameless creature born out of darkness on the darkest of nights much like that night. This epic journey of self-awareness and discovery turns into a magic strewn and danger filled quest which takes place in a single night full of magic and spirits taken from Swedish forklore.

You follow a little creature on his journey for fulfillment, wandering through nightly environments that are inspired by tales of folklore. Gameplay is quite standard to the point-and-click genre where you collect objects to interact with your surroundings and overcome puzzles. A nice addition though, is that you’re equipped with four elemental runes (earth, water, air, fire) which activate and produce different outcomes depending on the scene. You can also interact with entities in a few different ways, such as touching, observing or talking to the person/object. Although not all interactions are entirely necessary, it can lead to some humerous/extra dialogue and is a nice feature nonetheless.

Path of the Martyrs

Path of the Martyrs

Path of the Martyrs is an excellent adventure!

The time I spent as Saiyato in the world of Delma was rewarding.

While battles proved somewhat easy, they were also a lot of fun. The combat and skill systems have depth, and fun realtime arcade elements in some cases that keep you on your toes. Resources are plentiful for thorough explorers.

The real challenge is the puzzles. Kazuki Takamura is a clever designer when it comes to these. There are many types of puzzle, and the difficulty level is a nice balance between frustration and satisfaction.

An effective, charming 3D platform experience that is honestly one of the best on steam. I got to play this early thanks to the dev but in no way did that influence my opinion on it, it is genuinely a great experience you should check out for yourself.

夕鬼 零 Yuoni: Rises

夕鬼 零 Yuoni: Rises

This game is a visual novel with style, the game is creepy in it’s self, but it also leaves you wanting more of that creepiness it provides with it’s story and environment it uses both very well, and the ending will shock you pleasantly.

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers

This is a visual novel VR that is mostly novel. In other words, you’ll be mostly reading text from a sketchbook (3D model). The text is easy to read. Most of the book has been translated well into English. However, I would estimate maybe 5 percent of the story was lost in translation or you need to know more about Japanese culture to understand exactly what was intended.

Slumber Clause

Slumber Clause

Slumber Clause is a roleplaying, point-and-click throwback to the classic text adventures of the 80s and 90s with modern choice mechanics and a character-driven story about nightmares, death, and ephemera—all in glorious 4:3.

Play as a recently-widowed paramedic mom battling a mean case of sleep paralysis. When you’re not trying to hold your waking life together, you’re navigating surreal dreams of unspeakable beauty and endless possibilities that always seem to end in tragedy.

Slumber Clause will be released episodically using Steam’s Early Access system, with pricing for the entire game increasing when each new episode is added.

KEY FEATURES

  • Customize your mom with a text-based character creator.

  • Swap between modern and classic user interfaces.

  • Make choices that change the outcome of a novel-length story.

  • Choose wisely or it may be game over.

  • Take a closer look at the world with investigate and conversation mechanics.

Very good game, love the ambience and the great art.

Recommended.

The installed .exe has been renamed and Steam didn’t find it in my drive D :

Just copied and renamed the folder “Ignatius - Reunited_Data” to “Ignatius_Data”, and the exe “Ignatius - Reunited.exe” to “Ignatius.exe”, and Steam worked ok (otherwise no played time is registered).

This game is an adorable noir style game with great coloured highlights. The music is creepy, there are puns that are amazing, and the story is sweet.. The game is generally quite easy, BUT, if you move incorrectly can be very unforgiving - but it was worth it and I had a lot of laughs with it.. The design is just beautiful - there are a few spelling errors and jittery bits but in my opinion I put it down to it feeling like an old school movie that used to flicker and for all I know, that’s how its meant to be portrayed.. The enemies aren’t overly hard, it would be easily playable by a younger audience.. It reminds me of other games that I have played such as Machinarium and looks similar to what Limbo looks like - but it was still beautiful regardless..

Tightrope Walking

Tightrope Walking

Thank you so much for making this game. I found this masterpiece while dumpster diving and found gold. After the 3.6 hours of playing I finally beat this master piece of a beautiful game. All of these levels were made with care (except the office 2 level). It was a challenge I have to admit but after falling and falling and falling, I finally beat it. I love every level and I will go into detail:

SPOILER WARNING

Level 1: the introduction. It shows how to play the game in an important place, the forest. This level is great because it shows the iconic tightrope and will teach you how to balance.

too hard.. played for an hour on easy, couldn’t more than 2m into level 2 without falling. LOL

All the King’s Men

All the King’s Men

The King is kidnapped from his bed in the middle of the night without a struggle. The royal militia specifically seeks out Topher’s father for his help, citing suspicious indiscretions in his past. Leaving him with many more questions than answers, and no remaining ties to his home, Topher decides to make his way across the nation on foot to meet up with his father in the capital city and put the pieces of his life together into a full image that makes sense. Along the way, meet allies and enemies alongside Topher on his journey across the land to save his family and, in turn, the Kingdom.

On-Screen Enemy Encounters / Battle System

Never feel like you’re leaving the action of the game with a random encounter! All enemies are on-screen and battles take place right where you found the enemy on the map. The active-battle system keeps fighting dynamic and allows the you to follow the action in real time in order to best strategize your next move.

Complete Control over Stat-Growth

Instead of gaining random, arbitrary stats based on some RNG behind-the-scenes, control your own destiny and customize each play-through with your own personalized leveling board. Every play-through can be different, based on the path you take to improve your party.

Fully Original Soundtrack

A truly dynamic, original soundtrack to fully immerse you within this open world adventure. Every track in the game was created specifically, and exclusively, for All the King’s Men by idea composer, Andrew LiVecchi.

Multiple Difficulties

Choose your fate before the game begins, based on the level of challenge you desire. Standard mode still offers challenging gameplay, but you’ll have access to saving whenever you desire, simply by accessing your menu, inn and item prices will be much more easily accessible, and enemies of all types will present less of a challenge. Professional mode is not for the faint of heart. Your save access will be restricted to the save crystals throughout the map, inn and item prices will be more of a stress on your wallet, and enemy battles will require careful strategy and consideration to win.

Both modes will offer the same access to the main plot of the game and the quests related to that, though some side quests will only be found in Professional Mode.

Flexible Controls

More detailed information about controls still being confirmed.
