Hunt down the horrendous Horned Face and avenge the death of his betrothed. That was the mission, and obsession, that Ethan Primrose had walked away from. Now, he lives his life peacefully and rules the State of California as the heir of both House Primrose and the Western region of the Fifty States. There he lives with his guilt-ridden squire, Olivia, and his wide-eyed sister, Novah. But everything changes when an old friend, one also with an insatiable obsession for finding the Horned Face, vanishes under mysterious circumstances.

To the north of the Fifty States, Premier Nyanna of the Province of Ontario has tried her best to keep the Republic out of a war with its southern neighbor. But when she learns about her brother’s unnatural circumstances, she commits herself to find the truth about her brother. Just as determined as she are her remaining brothers Sawyer and Hayes Maple— the first an arch-priest pushing for controversial reformations, the second the new and unprepared heir of House Maple.

Although separated by thousands of miles and vast landscapes, the actions of each character are concretely and profoundly felt by each and everyone else. With the entire Continent tenaciously teetering on the edge of a full-scale war, each character must understand that their actions and desires impact not just themselves, but the fate of the entire Continent.

Crown Land features a massive cast of over THIRTY drawn, original characters. The following is merely a small sample of them all.

You VS Drugs

You VS Drugs

YOU TAKE ON THE ROLE OF REAL-LIFE AGENTS WHO EXIST IN YOUR BRAIN, WHERE YOUR OWN WIT CAN RISE TO REVERT A WORLDWIDE DEVASTATION. THE ENEMY CAN ENSLAVE ANYONE, ANYWHERE. BY EMBARKING ON AN ADVENTURE THAT WILL DEFY YOUR IMAGINATION, YOU WILL DISCOVER HOW DRUG ADDICTION THREATENS HUMANITY. BY WATCHING REAL NEUROLOGICAL EVENTS, YOU WILL BE EMPOWERED TO BETTER PROTECT YOURSELF, AND THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE —IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!

Inspiration & theme: “In 1960, only 4 million Americans had ever tried drugs” (2.2% of people). “By creating the Bureau of Narcotics & Dangerous Drugs in 1968, the U.S. set the basis of an official national/international war on drugs” (Drug Enforcement Administration Museum).

50 years later, the National Survey on Drug Use & Health (2019) showed that 164.8 million Americans aged 12 or older (60.1% of people) were past month substance users. Even worse, “children are already abusing drugs at age 12 or 13 (…), including tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, marijuana, prescription drugs such as sleeping pills & anti-anxiety medicines” (National Institute on Drug Abuse -NIDA-, 2020). And now, the United Nations’ 2021 World Drug Report states that “pandemic effects ramp up drug risk, as youth underestimate cannabis dangers”. So, what now? NIDA (2020) states that “Increased understanding of the basics of addiction will empower people to make informed choices in their own lives”. But if science took +100 years to unravel how drugs change the brain and produce addiction, how can regular kids & adults learn such complex topics to foresee the hidden dangers of trying drugs?

‘You VS Drugs’ is the first brain-based video game saga in the world designed to prevent drug addiction by empowering people with real knowledge, so they can make better choices in their own lives!

Design & gameplay: It’s a chibi cartoon-style 3D graphic design of characters & settings which give players a sense of action and fun at first glance. Friends & foes, level challenges, sounds, structures & objects are designed for players —that can play alone/with a partner— to explore, have fun, get surprised, fight, and make decisions that test the knowledge players acquire while watching how their brain works, and how drugs mess up with people’s lives. All relevant situations are inspired in real events of the working brain.

Game mechanics (and link to the learning experience):

• Incorrect responses to Path questions lead to situations that diminish energy levels.

• Correct responses to Path questions earn players points. Enough points allow the discovery of a special feature in the camp’s hospital.

• Your choices sometimes affect other AI teammates’ energy levels.

• To complete the first half of a level you need to take care of your fellow(s).

• Once a level is completed, the subsequent level is unlocked.

• Before a new level starts, weapon improvements or new skills can be learned at the camp’s gym.

I am surprised this game has not gained enough attention as I will have to spread the word out about this game.

Here is what I like about this game:

It has a very interesting Hero System meaning as you gain experience points you can spend experience points to improve a number of skills along with improving your main stats of your Hero like health, defense, attack, resist and moving around on the world map. It has at least 20-30 skills you can spend your experience on .

Other 4x games when you gain a level you get some increases based on that new level but in this game you spend your experience as you see fit so there really are no levels in this game so I think it is actually a better system.

_Nina lives in a dusty town, haunted by the six angry wolves of the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day brings never-ending chores, and no one can rest until they are done.

Legend speaks of a seventh, kinder wolf, but everybody knows an evil witch stole it and keeps it locked away. But Nina has had enough, so she sets on an ambitious quest - go to the forgotten realms, vanquish the witch, bring back Sunday and enough free time for everyone._

The Lost Sunday is a comic book about working too much, told through stories and inspiration from old folklore, myths and tales. We printed this book in English, Swedish,. Romanian and French, and Lost Sunday Comics features the digital version of Nina’s heart-warming adventures.

The magic of Lost Sunday Comics

We love comic books! We feel that the digital comic book market is a bit fragmented and underserved and we want to fix this. We just happen to also love video games so… why not marry the wonderful adventures found in comic books with the magic and enchantment games can offer?

  • A magical library that is rich of life, magic and mystery

  • Books on its shelves that have their own life and personality

  • Special reading rooms customised for each book, that offer a tailored experience

  • A calm and relaxing way to read the digital version of our books - you can turn off all atmospheric effects to just enjoy reading the story

  • Creative ways to bookmark and save progress

  • Accessible tools to magnify the comic pages to your preferences

  • Decoration and personalisation with hidden surprises you may find in the books you read

We hope you tag along for the ride and help us build a solid and enchanting magical comic book library where we can publish lots of exciting and fresh new comic book stories!

100 hidden mice

100 hidden mice

One level game. My fourth game from this series. This one is a little easier than 100 hidden birds, 100 hidden snails and 100 hidden cats but has a bigger location. Difficulty 5.5/10. You need to find all 100 hidden mice. Got this game on a sale and I think it is worth its price. Finished the game in around 5 minutes. A reset button + a hint button would help to improve this game (at the moment if you want to reset the game you need to press esc+delete). All these being said I would give a 8.5/10 for this game.

Real player with 0.7 hrs in game

Another entry in the “100 Hidden …something or other” series, and like the others I’ve played

! (not you 100 Gnomes!)

it’s a quick bit of fun well worth buying when on sale.

The 100 hidden whatevers games come with 100 achievements each,

which is definitely a plus reason to play them.

I wish the devs would add cards to these games

…but I realize I’m being greedy, especially as I buy them on sale only.

A definite 9/10 game.

Unicorn Tails

Unicorn Tails

My four year old daughter absolutely loves unicorns, and I have been looking for a unicorn game for some time now because she has recently shown an interest in gaming. Good lord, this game is perfect. It’s basically an open world unicorn sim that allows you to run about collecting butterflies and using your magic to do things like augment your movement or summon cheese. Movement and platforming are quite good, and the controls are responsive and forgiving enough to let my daughter practice using a game-pad while controlling the unicorn in a fantasy island type setting.

I think my PC was not powerful enough to run the graphics on this game. The graphics were not sharp, like in the trailer, and changing the graphic options did not improve the graphics.

As soon as the sun started to set, the red and yellows all mashed with the poorly rendered graphics to make for an overly colourful or vibrant mash of bright colours. So much infact, that we could no longer play the game. Maybe with a better PC, this game would be nice. My kids were excited to play, but will have to likely invest in a more powerful PC before revisiting this one.

Mythic Prelude - Concept Demo

Mythic Prelude - Concept Demo

Lucky me gets to write the first review for Mythic Prelude - Concept Demo. Despite being flagged and published on Steam as a full game instead of a demo (perhaps an error by the developer when publishing), this is definitely just a demo and not a complete game.

Mythic Prelude is a template flip from the godawful GameMaker Studio game construction kit. The developer took a template for a 2D top down Zelda style retro pixel brawler, filled out the detail, slapped a few asset flipped sprites and low effort retro pixel backgrounds on, and then dumped it on Steam. GameMaker Studio is a terrible quality “game” construction kit, so it’s no surprise that games “made” by copying + pasting templates from it are likewise terrible quality, and there’s no exception here. Game construction kits aren’t meant to make professional products, they’re meant to educate and teach people about some aspects of game making, and to make demos to pass around to friends.
