Strange Nightmares

Strange Nightmares

Using a Fnaf inspired time system, this game is all about surviving the night… You wake up to a mysterious voice in the darkness, and enter a world of unknowns, a room full of darkness and doorways that lead to familiar, yet twisted and foreign places. Each with their own horrors that again, feel familiar to you. Armed only with your mind, a flashlight, and a mysterious voice in your head, you must survive the nights and search for a way to escape these nightmares… That is, if nightmares are really all they are.

The Day They Came

So I was really curious about this game, sadly the developer got a little excited and released this game way too early.

The game has no enemies, no options menu, no way to exit the game or instructions.

Once you chop down some trees that fall and then spaz out due to some crazy physics all you can do is access a build menu that let’s you create some walls, steps, floor, door, base and I couldn’t use the floor as a ceiling like it suggested.

The game has at least a 30 minute night cycle making it almost impossible to do anything, much less see.

Lighthouse Keeper

Lighthouse Keeper

This is not a game but rather a narrated story from the life of a lonely lighthouse keeper. You get to follow his actions, thoughts and obsessions. The narrator’s voice expresses how it feels to be stuck in constant solitude quite well. You can also feel the nervous tension and a slight bit of insanity caused by the endless loop of mundane tasks. The music and the sounds complete the unsettling atmosphere, the writing is good, and the visuals are unique. It’s short, takes about 10 minutes to finish, but still offers an interesting experience. I really like it. :)

A short, narrative-driven title with a pretty cool art style.

This is more of a visual novel than a game, as there are only two simple interactive moments mixed in with the narration. What you do or don’t do in those moments is what lands you one of two different endings.

The voice acting is really good, in my opinion. The actor successfully conveys a feeling of obsession, mental exhaustion, and a touch of madness. Music and sound effects are also good, and add to the bleak, lonely atmosphere.

The Grounding

The Grounding

At first I was confused about this games connection to the Fast and Furious franchise but after a second third and fourth playthrough I have started to uncover the fascinating and quite frankly genius subtle world building and lore and I have finally come up with my theory to solve this games story In Grounded you play as Dominic Toretto in purgatory after a street race gone horribly wrong leaves him in a coma Elizabeth Warren chases you around your own personal purgatory because much like in real life she is the Devil of the fast and furious franchise and comes to personally take Dom to the afterlife in order to get revenge on him for banging her husband in the deleted scenes of fast 5 The goal of the game is to collect and smoke six blunts in order to unleash weeds mystical healing powers and bring Dom back to life each blunt is located in a differnt room and every room is a nod to one of Doms wacky adventures in the Fast and Furious movies Spawn = Fast 1, Medieval = Doms final showdown with Evil Doctor Heinzenstruber in his secret doomsday castle, morgue = Paul Walkers death, Bedroom = Letty’s Exclusive 5 dollar onlyfans show, Bathroom = Dom saving Mia from the Scat club in fast 7. after smoking all the blunts you come back to life but due to the Weed being a little too stanky Dom accidentally begins ascending into godhood however this catches the attention of Jesus and realizing he will soon be outmatched Jesus decides to trap Dom in an eternal vaporwave hell which is where you wake up after smoking all six blunts in the game this is where Dom remains until Fast 9. I look forward to seeing how Dom escapes this eternal hell in Fast 9. all in all this game is a short but sweet game to tide us over and get us hyped for Fast 9 coming to theaters April 2nd 2021 and although the connections are a little more abstract I think this game is a must play for any Fast and Furious fan.

This game has thoroughly changed my life. It’s not just a horror or meme game, but a honest reflection about modern society. The main character grows up a single parent house, your dad, Mark Zuckerberg, left you when you were still a baby on his way to the convenience store for a pack of a cigarettes. Still heartbroken over this incident, your mom, who is Elizabeth Warren, has set up 6 cigarette altars in hopes that one day, your dad will return home to you guys. Like your dad though, you also have an uncontrollable cigarette addiction, so you can not resist grabbing a smoke from the altar. Warren is pissed and goes super saiyan.

PROS

Decently Priced

Challenging, but fun!

Accurately depicts the current state of the Pandemic

Art + Sounds are nice, but a tad repetitive

CONS

Short Game

When you die, you have to wait 5 seconds to reply. Which isn’t bad, but it drives me crazy since you can’t skip the wait

I get randomly stuck on objects sometimes, not that big of a deal though

No saving, so you can’t come back where you left off if you quit

Overall, its worth playing!

It’s a short but very cool game, I liked the creatures and the mystery in the plot, I also liked the little moments of humor. In fact I wanted the game to be bigger because I was very involved, but it makes sense for the price. From my point of view it is a game that worth it!

Loved the premise of the game, and the graphics definitely give it that unique feel and add to the creepy vibe. I had a little trouble with the perspective, especially when there was a creature just off screen that I could no longer see because of the change in perspective, but you learn to maneuver and function quick enough.

Took me a while to find and operate the toilet… longer than I would like to admit. Overall, I would definitely recommend playing through this one, it is worth it!

Here’s some gameplay if interested (first stream terminated with no warning and I had to restart the stream)

Death courier

Death courier

A brilliant take on Death Stranding but with a far more streamlined and coherent plot. A masterclass in story telling that puts Kojima’s comedy of concepts to bitter shame. If you look close enough, there’s beauty in monotony. Also, pleased to see the lack of obnoxious product placement.

Game sucks, no boobs. JK Fly AF LmAo

As far as the story and visuals go, I enjoyed this experimental game, but the platforming was a bit clunky. For the most part, it’s a puzzle-platformer with a psychological twist. The narrative is told from the perspective of a girl that is having relationship problems with her boyfriend. After each platforming section, you get to play a stealth mini-game where you are trying to isolate your boyfriend from the crowd by creating distractions. I suspect that game has 2 endings depending on your actions, I am pretty sure I got the bad one. Even though I kinda knew where the story was going, it still got me, and I am considering replaying it just to see if I can get a better outcome. It takes around 2-3 hours to finish if you don’t skip any puzzles, although you do have that option if you keep getting stuck. Aside from that, the game has nice achievement support, assuming that you want to replay the game with no hits and so on. Overall, the game is very creative, but that creativity occasionally comes at the cost of intuitive gameplay.

Dark Existence

Dark Existence

BACKGROUND STORY

The year is 2036. You are a survivor living in an underground bunker alongside other survivors. The bunker is home to an organisation of scientists who conduct research and experiments on unknown phenomena related to the extinction event. It is your job to ensure that supplies are brought to the bunker as well as test subjects for the scientists to operate on. This requires going to paranormal sightings and capturing whatever objects or creatures you come across.

The world is full of these creatures and it is up to you and your friends if you choose to go with others, to make sure that you successfully capture one of them.

THE BUNKER

The underground facility where you currently live is classed as the ‘Multiplayer Hub’. All players spawn here together when hosting/joining a server. In the bunker, you will have the freedom to explore and investigate cases. You will also see the creatures that you have previously captured.

OLD MANOR ON THE HILL

One of the first places you will travel to from the bunker is the Old Manor, located a few hours away. There are reports of paranormal activity within the Old Manor from passing survivors. They have reported a strange figure staring out the window, and strange sounds coming from inside. You have been tasked to go inside and investigate the cause of this activity.

GAMEPLAY

In Dark Existence, you will play as a survivor who is trying to fix some of the damage made from the extinction event. You will be checking out places close to the bunker to see if anything of value can be resourced. Your main task however will be investigating paranormal activity which will involve a lot of stealth within dark and dangerous environments.

In the Old Manor, there is an old woman that has had her body taken over by an evil presence, she is smart, she can see very well. But she doesn’t hear very well. So stay out of sight.

As you work through the stages of investigating, you may find she becomes harder to evade. Discover her weakness. You must find a way to capture her, just be careful; she doesn’t react well to being hurt.

You can play alone, however, this is not recommended. You may play with up to 3 other friends that dare to enter the halls of hell with you. Look out for wardrobes, kitchen cupboards, anything with a door as you might just find something that will allow you to progress further.

GAMEMODES

  • Play Alone

    A chapter-based singleplayer mode where you will play through the chapters of hellish nightmares.

  • Cooperative Solo

    Deciding on helping out the world by yourself? You sure can, but bear in mind, this will be extremely challenging and terrifying alone. Grab a team.

  • Cooperative Mode

    This would be the smart choice to make, play with up to 3 friends to help you, but don’t let your friend get you killed! Work as a team.
