Curious Expedition
The Curious Expedition is yet another Kickstarter-spawned entry into the ever-growing field of Rogue-Likes, but with a refreshing new twist. This time around, the player takes on the role of a small party of 19th-Century explorers engaged in a gentleman’s wager - to travel the world on six concurrent expeditions, competing to see who can gain the most fame. It’s a fairly quick and lethal game, but that’s exactly what it’s meant to be - a good way to kill a few hours at a time, running expedition after expedition off to their doom.

The Short Pitch
TCE is one of the best games in its class, a Roguelike-inspired strategy/adventure game that will leave you wanting more. Easy enough to beat several times in one day if you’re dedicated, yet hard enough to make every victory feel like you clawed your way to it from the depths of hades.
If you’re looking at this game and you’re even half sure you want it, get it. If looking at it fills with you a warm and gooey sense of longing for the hours spent huddled around CRT monitors taking turns playing The Oregon Trail, buy it. Even if you’re a more modern gamer, but you’re a fan of FTL, Caves of Qud, the Binding of Isaac, or similar, buy it.

ARAIGNEES
This game describes itself as an atmospheric first-person horror adventure, and let me tell you, you’re in for a hell of a ride!
Buckle up, and let your mind wander in this liminal universe where dreams are real and reality is nothing but a distant mirage.
Or is it, really?

I have played the first dream so far and it is fun. Very surreal. Had a bit of trouble with the mechanics at first but it got easier as time went on. The pixel graphics are nicely done. It wasn’t as spooky as I hoped but there are still other dreams to explore so perhaps it will get scarier. Take a look at my dream 1 playthrough here: https://youtu.be/XsLn5o5aDdk

Cuccchi
Really a beautiful exploration and discovery game of interactive art pieces. Just passed level three in the game and was blown away, being there inside these imaginary places and wanting to discover what was happening and what was just out of sight. The music is soo good and really helps with the travel into the paintings and by setting the mood. Exploration is so rewarding.

I would not enjoy Enzo Cucchi’s art by itself, and I did not know who Enzo is before I played this game, I’ve seen a lot of similar works by artists with similar career paths and I am not a fan. ‘Fine art’ as it would be called. But Cuccchi is not just a gallery, it isn’t just a resource for an artist, although it is also that, it is a game in of itself which the gallery part excluded is mostly original, it honestly would have a chance of qualifying as transformative fair use if it wasn’t made with the blessing of the creator (which I’m like 79% sure it is).

Then the portals reapered bringing strange crazy creatures looking to destroy and capture the monsterkin, and only Anthony and friends can stand up to them on Halloween’s eve.
Humans took my neighbors is a 2D top down action game inspired by classics like Zombies ate my neighbors and other top downgames, you’ll go through the neighborhoods saving as many monsters as you can, fighting humans ready to take every monster they see, and as you progress through the levels maybe find the cause for this invasion.

Her father works as a professor in MonsterCademy . She wants to be a great warrior like her mother to be ready for any menace.
The game is currently in development stay tuned for devlog updates and more!
Interstellaria
123 hours, just came back for more after not playing for a few months, and had to write a review.
I can not for the life of me figure out the negative reviews (keep in mind though I am more of a ‘benefit of the doubt’ reviewer than a ‘this game is not precisely what I expect/desire therefore I will crap all over it’ reviewer). This game is a blast. I have to assume they are doing the usual ‘reviewing it as compared to some other game they like more’ or ‘reviewing it for what they want it to be rather than what it is’. Either way, my opinion is this game is one of the better unkown space games in existence. All these ‘FTL’ clones, and no mention of Interstellaria, is a travesty, this game needs more PR.

Short version:
It’s fairly similar to FTL with the added ability to explore planets (with simple ground combat), move your ship freely in deep space (with dynamic tactical space combat) and enjoy an entertaining plot that guides you through the open-world universe.
Is it perfect? No. There are issues and the UX is not the best, but unless that puts you off, you can definitely enjoy the game.
Coldrice seems to be working non-stop to fix any issues and there are also some planned improvements.

Mondealy: Day One
In Mondealy we are introduced to the secret hidden world of Mondealy, a universe where multiple races of humans evolved on the same planet. Mondealy is a classic side scrolling rpg adventure where you build relationships with various people in order to change the world around you in meaningful ways. In Mondealy: Day One, we are introduced to the various worlds that exist within the Mondealy timeline. The world of Mondealy is really well built, and filled with tons of unique races and complex individuals. Quite a few different paths look like they are developing that will change how relationships evolve with the various people that you interact with and the choices you make. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this game turns out once its complete. The full game of Mondealy is expected to come out in 2022.

Tldr: Give it a try!
Pros
Art: Surprisingly good, I wasn’t expecting it to have that much polish for a demo. I specifically like the transitions between areas and the character portraits are good at displaying emotion.
Partial Controller Support
Gameplay: There’s stuff you can interact with. You have a phone that shows you tasks, and you can check you inventory. Well Optimized.
Sound: It’s alright.
Cons
There’s Fast Travel, but only on the surface.
It’s also kinda pointless because on the way to the Forest there’s a few screens besides each other with Fast Travel, but below the surface there’s no Fast Travel.
