Hidden Office
Ok so, I was waiting for the game from the moment I saw the trailer and I absolutely am not disappointed! I really liked the style - the feeling of playing Animal Crossing: calm but uplifting soundtrack and meditative gameplay. I think the game will last for 2-3 hours, and maybe more, depending on how you play. Great for relaxing an hour before bed. I think the game is totally worth the money. On the very first day, I almost collected the entire collection of cards with cats. I liked the shader on the cards! The developer replies fast. Quickly rolled out the first bug fix. Overall, I do recommend this game! By the way, the game is safe for children.

Hidden Office is a hidden-object game within 12 different scenes/environments, with most of them depicting an office setting. It’s not the best HOG but it’s also not terrible, somewhere between “playable and fun” and “I wish I had more QoL features.” The game is played entirely with a mouse and took me about 2.5 hours to complete, so buy at your own discretion, know that.

Howling Village: Echoes
（中文评测在下面！）
Howling Village: Echoes (Inunakimura: Zankyou) is the official game to the 2020 J-horror film Howling Village (Inunakimura), which is directed by Shimizu Takashi and features Miyoshi Ayaka. The game was originally released in mobile platform in 2020, and now it is ported onto NS and PC. (The porting is bad though, the game even tells you to TAP the screen rather than CLICK.)
It’s basically a point&click puzzle game with a linear story-telling. The game features 6 main characters, each one has its own route, and each route has its True Ending. The True Ending to a route is always blocked at first, you should play other routes to unlock it (like 428: Shibuya Scramble in a much simpler way). The game makes you feel like you have many choices and options, but in fact you don’t. In order to clear the game you must play each route and each chapter in a certain order to unlock the True Ending. Like I said, it’s pretty linear. As for the “more than 50 endings” they claim in the store page, well, it does have that many endings, but most of them are just meaningless Bad Ends. The game only has ONE TRUE ENDING, and you can’t ever miss it.

Iselin Saga
I enjoyed this game for story, artwork and puzzles - a good variety but nothing over complicated.

Very amateurish game. It feels more like is made by a single guy than by a team. Stripped of almost all “game” aspects but the uninteresting HOS and ok puzzles.
Dated and uninspired graphics. Confused and not interesting story.
Not worth the money.

Jigsaw With Animals
Lucky me gets the dubious honour of once more writing the first review for an asset/template flip from repeat offenders, Piece of Voxel.
“Jigsaw with Animals” is another GameMaker Studio asset flip from serial copy+paste infringers, Piece of Voxel. All these guys do is rip off game templates and projects from the Yoyogames/GameMaker Studio store and try to scam people into paying for someone else’s work on Steam. They have run asset flip scams dozens of times, and this is no exception. It’s nothing but a cash grab.

KaraDedeler 1989
It’s meh. 90% of your time is spent not knowing what you’re looking for, but towards the end you start to figure out how it works. Don’t know how it ended bc the game just wiped my progress after I died 1 time near the end.
6/10

Mahjong Match
Awful. I love Mahjong solitaire, this isn’t even that. It’s just a tile matching game that doesn’t even follow the same rules, and no matter how I change the settings, the whole board is never in view. This is just a bad port of a mobile game. Avoid and save your pennies

This garbage is Mahjong Challenges, but with a different name. Exact same crap.

Mystery Trackers: Forgotten Voices Collector’s Edition
great play for the dollares

I wanted this game to be good, but I cannot recommend it. There is very little content and, what’s worse, the content is at best average.
