Story
The world of Astravia is in conflict; severed by unrest between mysticians and humans who fear their magic. Once seen as heroes, the flow of time eroded mysticians’ feats into myth, and so anyone who shares their likeness in the present day must instead hide from the ruling country of Valica and its brutal knights.
Thus, the wandering mystician Oliver must tread with caution as he escapes the woods of a Valican territory. Spared by a mysterious assassin and at a loss as to how he got there, the stakes are raised even higher when Oliver realizes he must pass through Valica’s capitol in order to find answers about his own origins.
#### Chapter 2 & 3’s synopses will be revealed prior to their release.

The Path of Calydra
For the majority of kids school is mostly about making new friends, exciting challenges, and of course learning new things. In fact despite complaining about home works and occasionally querulous teachers, most children like school. But Matheus wasn’t like most kids.
A bit shy, a little withdrawn, the boy was an easy target for school bullies. And soon enough most of the pupils were making fun of him, creating memes laughing at Matheus and then sharing them over the internet. In result the only friend Matheus had was Agro the puppy. And the only time he really felt happy was when he was alone in his room playing his favorite game Spiral Galaxy 2. Oh if only there was a place somewhere without the internet! But Matheus knew there was no escape for him.
Until one afternoon when an unusual entity named Calydra appeared in his room and entered a portal to Calysgore – a mysterious world full of wonders, magic and… no internet! Matheus entered the portal without a second thought and this is where our adventure begins and our hero is born.
Features
A backpack full of magic. An ordinary item like a school backpack can become extraordinary with a pinch of Calydra’s magic. Changing shapes not only visually but most importantly shaping the gameplay in four different ways.
Puzzles powered by four elements. Rare treasures and hidden passageways are protected not only by clever mechanical or weight mechanisms but most importantly by the power of the four elements Matheus is seeking.
Epic battles with Calysgore’s guardians. Creatures not seen in real life are in possession of Calydra’s powers and it’s up to Matheus to find the courage to face and fight them one by one.
A magical world filled with secrets to be discovered. An inquisitive boy he is, Matheus will get the chance to freely explore the mysterious Calydra’s world.
An adventure of a lifetime. Learn Matheus’ story, help him get Calydra her powers back and bring the boy home safely.

Review:
Cool Game the music is great, graphics are pretty cool and unique had like the n64 3d feel with some really nice character portraits and it has a nice overarching story throughout. My main complaint is the VINE THOUGH the vine is the DEVIL 100% in some areas it will give you the hardest time using it (Getting the back pack in the cave OMG! painful). The side quests really aren’t worth doing either they’re a pain in the butt and you only get like two lines of dialogue for doing them. I liked the jimmy buffet cameo too that was nice. Overall a pretty solid game would have been 100x more enjoyable if the vine worked consistently though a lot of the time he’ll start climbing it then hop off. I did have luck with it in the forest and snow area (Thank god!), but everywhere else it was insanely hit or miss. Also my Navi for whatever reason wouldn’t go to the nearest thing I had to collect usually it would get dead set on going to the furthest or the most difficult to grab so once you got to the most difficult place you would have to back track to find the other pieces if you didn’t get lucky enough finding them on your own. The Potions can also take a toxic amount of time to respawn I know the reason for the slow respawn is so you can’t cheese some of the puzzles, but it really is too looooooong. There’s also some fool in a green robe in the forest standing on a bridge who won’t talk to me and has constructed the most invincible invisible wall that on the tree house bridges not sure what he’s doing there besides being a jerk since he won’t talk to me.

Alien Planet Explorer
For other game reviews, please [url]follow us at What The Game?[/url]
From time to time you’ll come across a game that you can just tell the developer tried and put a lot of effort into. Alient Planet Explorer (APE) is one of those titles. Other than the fact that the game is insanely short, there is a lot of good here if they choose to expand and further add to the game.
At this point, there is no story to be mentioned, but it seems like the intention is there. As the game has some tutorial dialog popups that look a lot like conversation boxes, I would like to assume they wanted to implement story and conversation exchanges. Obviously, the fact that not even a light story is present really hurts the game for a very large portion of the audience.

Druid
Druid is an enjoyable puzzle quest. You play as a Druid who goes to a magical forest. He wants to find a mentor and become wiser. It is very difficult to find the right path in the forest: there are many ravines, reservoirs, impassable thickets. To get into inaccessible areas, the Druid needs to learn new abilities that are activated using magic runes. They can be obtained by helping animals in the forest. Runes can be combined.
Nice graphics, unobtrusive background music. The game is worth the money. I highly recommend it for playing with children. Although it’s hard to find the right path without a forest map.

This is like a ‘metroid-vania’ game but instead of action-adventure, we have some light puzzle elements.
To put it another way, it is like if you replaced a point&click adventure game’s mechanics with the ‘HM moves’ that you use in Pokemon to open up new areas of the overworld map.
You are a druid seeking enlightenment in the forest, and you slowly gather a series of magical runes that let you interact with the environment, or take on animal form, to conveniently get past oddly specific obstacles you find in the forest.

Artificer: Science of Magic
Don’t be fooled by the superficial similarities to Don’t Starve, this isn’t an open-ended base-building survival-crafting game; it’s a narrative puzzle-adventure with a mixing of interesting and innovative survival-crafting mechanics.
On release, a number of the puzzles were quite obscure and didn’t have particularly apparent clues - since then the game has been patched a number of times and the progression is a lot clearer than it was, but if you’re expecting it NOT to be a puzzler, you’re probably going to get frustrated still. You’re also likely to be disappointed that the game kinda just stops once you’ve “unlocked everything”, because it’s telling a story rather than being an open-ended “see how long you can last” type of game.

The game starts out quite fun. The art style is ok and you’ll be discovering recipes working mini games to research monster parts after you’ve killed them. It’s interesting.
It plays similar to “Don’t Starve” without the hunger aspects.
But like the “Don’t Starve” series the developers want to you to enjoy discovering the game and avoid hand holding as much as possible.
…this is where the issues being to show up.
You WILL…run into some pretty solid brick walls in progression of the game.

Blade and Ham
There is a lot to like about this but the combat needs some work. Often when doing combos the character will go through the enemies making the combo miss. Weird hit detection. I guess that is why it is early access. There is a nice overworld map with some extra levels you can take on to get coins used to continue. Decent graphics and a good variety of characters. Hopefully the developer fixes the combat issues. I probably will not play anymore until it gets some patches.

The game has nice graphics, but in its current state, I strongly don’t recommend Blade and Ham. The game is NOT ready for release to the public. Blade and Ham has several big bugs & is very unpolished.
The game’s bugs are its biggest flaw. For example, you can’t save your progress (you start over at every new game). Plus, can’t take any pictures (doing so causes an error, the game ends, & you can’t exit the game either).
On a side note, Valve, please stop distributing crappy games that lack basic features. Such behavior just makes people want to go buy their games elsewhere, such as Epic Games. I wouldn’t even play Blade and Ham for free in its current state.

HIIS
This is a nice, cozy experience. And i recommend it if you are looking for a chill open-world puzzle game.
This game will strain even supercomputers on highest settings, but you can get it to run just fine with a strong computer. The optimization for potato setups is very poor, so if you are gaming on a potato, like yours trully, check out the discord server for help
This is not for everyone. It is for people who will brew literally everything they forage and then try how it tastes (In this game) - then pour that potion on your stool - then pour another serving on a plant, a la scientific method. This is for the people who enjoy exploration and foraging. The puzzling part is in how collecting some of the plants is a challenge. You have to figure out the right pieces to rub together. Minimalistic style helps by not distracting you from the core gameplay, which is VERY appreciable when you have a lot of potential interactions

Was a novel idea when it first became available on steam. Unfortunately i have never seen any changes made to game play by the creator and the music doesn’t fit the theme of the game. Unable to make any real changes to the home is sad. The well is too far from the house which is OK at first i get what the developer is going for but it is annoying when you have hours 7 hrs into the game. The game has two phases of the day very bright and dark no real twilight. I really wanted to see some progress made anywhere but the game just needs more of everything. No updates come out for the game as far as i can tell. The different climate zones feel unpolished not much in them. The forest don’t feel magical if you are on and island that is for the most part undisturbed the place would have should feel wild and enchanted. It has about every climate zone available all smashed on top of each other a little odd but fine but no caves, and no swamps. The game could use something to simulate weather even a little snow or rain would go a long way not much immersion there is snow on the ground but it is not snowing in the game.
