The ordinary case of Margaret Luoni
The head of the laboratory turned to Dirk for help in the investigation of the murder of his employee. What happened to one of the greatest minds in the Cat Head Nebula? What color do the Sumlings hate? Where can I get carbs for my secretary? And in what order did the great Blork Gnarbs draw his pictures? Why me?
You will find the answer to these and other obviously important questions by helping Dirk in the investigation.

This is a prologue for the game Universe for Sale. A prologue is like a demo. You might be wondering what the difference is between a prologue and a demo. Not much. Both are ways of promoting interest in the full game. The main difference is that a prologue has its own store page and a demo is on the store page of the full game. A developer could theoretically release the same content as both a demo and a prologue.
This prologue gives an introduction to some of the characters in the full game. The full game might have potential, but the prologue is rather short. You talk to a few people and that’s about it. Thumbs up for the easy achievements though.

Ascending Madness
You’re tripping and loving it …
… until the skulls showed up.
Ascending Madness is a twin shooter that’ll challenge your arcade skills. As you play, you’ll find a variety of psychodelic enemies while fighting them off with cool weapons and equipping with rune power ups.
But it is much more than that. Immediately, you’ll be thrown into Merrick’s story that’ll leave you asking “What is happening? What happened? Where am I (Merrick)?” As you explore, you’ll meet other characters (if you can call them that) who will fill in the details and then confuse you more … or perhaps it is just the madness talking?

Ziode Shadow
A fantastic indie game. Reminds me of the classic platformers of yesteryear, but with sharp HD graphics, a unique artstyle and very witty dialogue. The artwork, voice acting and presentation are all top notch, but the real magic in this game lies in the way it makes you work your brain. There is no just holding right and zooming through a level, you will have to think for yourself and some of the puzzles are real brain teasers!

Easy to pick up and enjoyable. Well worth the monies.

Red Rust
Red Rust is retro-style side-scrolling game which uniquely combines fighting mechanics with shooting mechanics. The game is heavily inspired by 8bit and 16bit hits of the 90s, but it’s being developed with the modern player in mind. Tons of great animation, hand-drawn backgrounds, variety of in-game situations and powerful soundtrack!
It’s the year 1984 and you control Agent Red (or just Red), a soviet KGB officer who has been sent to the West on a secret mission. She is an attractive but brutal and cold-hearted girl! Over the course of the game she learns to understand her own emotions and the unfamiliar world around her.
Rising Noracam
I haven’t finished this one yet, due to my lack of motivation, but its still a pretty good goi like. It’s basicly a platformer control, but with a weird momentum that you have to keep to make some jump. Jump height also matter. If you bonk you get pushed a bit around and can fall but it feel random unfortunatly
The map design doesn’t seems to be punishing, there’s different screen change and i don’t think you can fall 2 screen in a row, although i only reached the third one so maybe it’s more punishing in the future.

Wetlands
When I saw this game appear on Steam, a long forgotten memory came back to me! This is actually my very fist video game! I remember when my parents bought me my first PC, this “new game” was delivered with the PC. I didn’t like it because it was too difficult (for a 9 year old). The cutscenes are excellent, beautiful cartoony style, but the gameplay itself is a very bland railshooter … which is fine, I guess … but if you don’t care to play this game (which is a challenge if approached without nostalgia glasses), then just watch the cutscenes on YouTube. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2536351711

Before the battery´s over
Very good puzzle, I’m afraid there are only 7 scenes left and I only have 40% of the battery, I need finish before the battery runs out! A great experience and I think I will have a great ending!

I’m not in the middle of the game yet, and had to come and recommend this game.
