The Ghost Train | 幽霊列車
Visually, this game is appealing. I feel like that’s the only pro I can mention. If you’re wanting a plot in this game then you will get a plot, just expect it to be a plot hole. Basically, all you do is go to the restroom in the train station, go to the smoking area, then ride the train until you reach the very end of the game. The puzzles were okay, but the last puzzle with the items you pick up was very confusing to figure out. If anyone is stuck on that… when you pick up the items (the cane, shoes, bug cage, windmill toy, and beer can) you set them on the train seat opposite of the reflection in the window in which character they belong to. It took me forever to figure it out. The endings weren’t as immersive as with the endings in The Convenience Store & Missing Children. Overall, decent game, but it gets a bit tedious for the time you spend playing it. I highly recommend playing Missing Children and The Convenience Store instead. Those are phenomenal, plot based, and wonderful atmospheric games!

This was my first game experience from Chilla’s Art and I got to say I wish it’d happened sooner, appearantly I’m an avid J-Horror fan and I didn’t even know it before crossing this game. I ended up reading Japanese urban legends at 4 AM in the morning- besides Kisaragi I guess
! the chase part is a reference to Teke Teke. Can’t wait to play the other ones.
My cons for the game is the walking/running speed and the fact that
! getting killed or not killed by the girl not affecting the ending type you get. And I can get the reason for low speed, building up tension etc. etc. but instead of that it just straight up frustrated me, drove me to boredom at first portion of the game. It felt repetetive and laggy, but after progressing enough and getting both endings the repetetive parts felt justified.

Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmZKPozT1Hk
I’m sorry to say that this game is very unimpressive, regardless it being free. The instructions are on the steam page if you wish to find out how to play, therefore it jumps you right into the game. There is sooooo much wasted empty space. The matching eggs and so forth can easily be put into a simple smaller grid. The description describes like you can compete against someone, but If you can, I have no idea.

Fade Out
I played more or less 2 hours, i enjoyed the first 5 rooms, the ambient sounds are great, the graphic is cool but in a specific objects like a telephone buttons and clock it’s hard interacting properly with them.
– Real player with 6.8 hrs in game
Fade Out is atmospheric VR room escape game with a twist. Every time you do something right the room changes in some way and it makes the game feel fresh and exciting. The rooms are pretty different from one another and there are clever puzzles in each of them. Puzzles are not too hard but I did spend quite a long time in the first room.
Pros:
-
Creepy atmosphere with matching soundscape
-
Hard enough puzzles to be entertaining but not too hard to make you stop playing
-
If you like room escape games, then this one is for you!

The Twins
It’s very similar to The Summoning and shares a lot of the same references in the story.
It’s more Lore Based and opens up on the history of The Summoning, and the poems are a nice bonus feature that adds a level of creepiness to the atmosphere.
While it felt very similar, it simultaneously felt very different in its own, positive way.
I enjoyed both of these experiences even though The Summoning scared the daylights out of me at first.

I think I enjoyed The Summoning better just because it was the first one, but I think The Twins really added a lot more depth. It was good to get more of the story in a way, rather than just the experience the first game offered. I don’t think these games have to be played in order though. I also played The Summoning with a friend but I played The Twins on my own so maybe it would have been more fun with company. I don’t really believe in supernatural stuff though so I think watching my friend who does added a lot of fun to it. I’ve seen first hand just how scared someone can get if they do all of the rituals rather than just skim over them. I think if you don’t play the game the way it’s meant to be played, then you’re gonna have a bad time. If you follow the instructions, your chances of having a good time increase significantly, again, if you’re into this sort of stuff.

MazM: The Phantom of the Opera
I have amended my review from a bad to a good rating - not because the problem of the achievements being saved in game (and not resetting back to 0 when I exited and entered game again ) was fixed. It wasn’t. But I managed to keep my computer on all day and ffwded all conversations in only the episodes where achievements were needed - so as to get all footnotes, character interactions, etc required to gain all achievements - thankfully the game did not crash this time. And i did get the 2 special pics for getting all achievements done (Hallelujah! lol)

I’ve always been a HUGE phantom of the Opera Fan. Having read the book, watched the movie and seen the musical. I was happy to play this game.
It’s far more faithful to the book adaptation than the movie version, which I liked.

Pest Control
I see some potential in this game, every week updates make it better and better. If you are fan of crafting and turn based games you should love it! Specially if you like humor and good in game art. I’m really excited to see the full game!

7 hour of headache try to get started in the game i’m so mad and confuse still after the update i wish i would have got a refund…..
Edit it took me a long min to figure out the game but now that i got the hang of it its a pretty fun game…but when you have to pick a person to go in the box to battle is not easy there need to be a better way to pick people when battle

Medieval Shop Simulator
I like idea of what this game could be but i have to say its not for everyone the game is not easy to figure out yes there is a guide that can help you but even with its help i still could not get a grip on this game but where do i start well the biggest issue i have with it is the building you need to build a table and then a stump to get started! wrong you have to build your shop first by building rooms. will you have enough materials on you to do that? no you need to walk around the city to find them there is stuff lying around to take if you look hard enough. once you build some rooms then you can place the table the game does not tell you you to build the table in the shop and when i placed it i placed it backwards against the wall but again it will not tell you these things. my next issue with this game is you need energy to leave the city! like why it cost a hundred energy to remove a tree from your property that’s fine but to need energy to leave the city just no. so if you’r someone that can put a lot of time in to this game you might get somewhere with it but if not i would wait to see if anything changes I’m going to try to play this game more and more but i don’t know i already have a headache trying to figure out this game with what i have already done but this is still a great concept of a simulator and i hope it gets better over time

Don’t want to ruin the overal raiting with a negative review since there are not many reviews yet. But unfortunately I cannot recommend the game in the current state. Non-intuitive controls, no tutorial. Overal impression of unpolished early-access game. I was blocked right at the begining by not able to craft the first workbench (a stump) because I don’t have a log, only planks. Game didn’t feel that good to make me fight with it discovering the basics.

Relax It’s Aqua
Not a bad idea, but the controls for the diver and the camera could benefit from additional fine tuning. The two feel at odds with another. WASD movement seems to be relative to how the diver is facing, regardless where the camera is positioned or facing. (However the diver’s body does not always turn when pressing a WASD key?) This made some of my next key press movements feel counter-intuitive to how I would expect the diver to swim. For example, I pressed “D” to send the diver to my right, not the diver’s right, when the diver is facing me. (Also, I know it is meant to be a slow and relaxing game, but an ability to swim a little bit faster would be helpful.)
