Karma City Police

Karma City Police

After playing all the content available in Early Access twice, I asked myself if I should do an analysis on the available content and if I should recommend the game to others and the answer is absolutely yes!

The pixelart of Karma City Police is very beautiful and crafted. Impressive how only a developer can deliver a competent job.

I really enjoyed the two main aspects of the game: resource management, where you must make your decisions wisely to take care of the population of Karma City, and the pinball mechanics in the clashes that makes a perfect contrast to what was presented previously, moments of more action.

Real player with 2.3 hrs in game

Shaping up to be a really good game. Only took me about 15 minutes to complete (I forgot to exit, hence the hour and a half playtime). I enjoyed my time though, the premise of mixing a pinball battle system with the 911 operator role is an innovative one and I think will be really cool once it’s more fleshed out. A “shake” feature would be nice during battle, with maybe a tilt feature too so you don’t abuse it too much to hit your target. Some of the text overflows from the boxes, and there are some grammatical/spelling errors (off the top of my head “you loose” comes to mind). Native gamepad support would be great too, or at least the ability to remap the controls. I played using JoyToKey though and it worked fine. I enjoyed both aspects of the game, so really my only complaint is that it’s too short! Hope to see this updated soon.

Lost Remnant: The End Tides

Lost Remnant: The End Tides

So far I’m very much enjoying the game. It’s a point and click, story heavy game.

You have been left an inheritance by your grandfather, his cabin, now yours. Through found letters you find that your grandfather wants you to leave the town, though by what means you’ll have to play to find out. You start by collecting roaches to use as fishing bait and from there you can start to craft and sell items in order to make the money needed to do as your grandfather wished.

Real player with 7.6 hrs in game

I thoroughly enjoyed this game it was not what I was expecting when I read mysterious point and click with eldritch horrors. The game is basically a resource management gathering game with some point and click aspects but not many which is nice cause instead of looking for one hidden object or how to use an object for hours your steadily progressing towards your goal. Game was really enjoyable with messages constantly to break up the grind with plot or story there’s not much visible eldritch creatures but there’s ton of mention of them. my full 100% play through with all letters and endings here (once it finishes processing): https://youtu.be/B8UwzltTPnc I had to replaythrough the game since eldritch horrors ate half the video but just a heads up the game says you get 2 redwood logs a tree but you only get one not

No One Can Ever Know

No One Can Ever Know

No One Can Ever Know is quite possibly one of the best examples one can point to when making an argument for the merits of video games as an interactive medium. This is not a “fun” game in the traditional sense and neither does that seem to be the intention. No One Can Ever Know is a difficult, sometimes frustrating experience because it wants the player to know what its like to be in the creator’s shoes and by extension what it’s like to suffer from gender dysphoria. This is something only games can do, because while films and text can adequately convey emotions and ideas, they can’t quite put someone in the shoes of another individual in quite the same way a game can and I think for that reason, No One Can Ever Know is a huge success despite being a humble little title.

Open your eyes and close them and open them again….How many are looking through your eye(s)….one….more than one then there is only a number and the number of them is ONE number…. Be glad you are who you are and you are the only unique special person (number) of you that is!!!!!!! Do not lose hope and take your game elsewhere because if you go you will ruin it for me…. I need you to play so that the game of all lives can continue….everybody who ever and what ever and celebrate every precious moment
